Mr. Reinhart's spirited and realistic illustrations are very attractive, and contribute to make an unusually handsome book. We have already commented upon the earlier chapters of the text; and the happy blending of travel and fiction which we looked forward to with confidence did, in fact, distinguish this story among the serials of the year.--_N. Y. Evening Post._ * * * * * Published by HARPER & BROTHERS, New York. _Any of the above works sent by mail, postage prepaid, to any part of the United States, Canada, or Mexico, on receipt of the price._ THE CAPTAIN OF THE JANIZARIES. A Tale of the Times of Scanderbeg and the Fall of Constantinople. By James M. Ludlow, D.D., Litt.D. pp. iv., 404. 16mo, Cloth, $1 50. The author writes clearly and easily; his descriptions are often of much brilliancy, while the whole setting of the story is of that rich Oriental character which fires the fancy.--_Boston Courier._ Strong in its central historical character, abounding in incident, rapid and stirring in action, animated and often brilliant in style.--_Christian Union_, N. Y. Something new and striking interests us in almost every chapter. The peasantry of the Balkans, the training and government of the Janizaries, the interior of Christian and Moslem camps, the horrors of raids and battles, the violence of the Sultan, the tricks of spies, the exploits of heroes, engage Mr. Ludlow's fluent pen.--_N. Y. Tribune._ Dr. Ludlow's style is a constant reminder of Walter Scott, and the book is to retain a permanent place in literature.--_Observer, N. Y._ An altogether admirable piece of work--picturesque, truthful, and dramatic.--_Newark Advertiser._ A most romantic, enjoyable tale.... As affording views of inner life in the East as long ago as the middle of the fifteenth century, this tale ought to have a charm for many; but it is full enough of incident, wherever the theatre of its action might be found, to do this.--_Troy Press._ The author has used his material with skill, weaving the facts of history into a story crowded with stirring incidents and unexpected situations, and a golden thread of love-making, under extreme difficulties, runs through the narrative to a happy issue.--_Examiner_, N. Y. One of the strongest and most fascinating historical novels of the last quarter of a century.--_Boston Pilot._
