"Never before have we had the seamy side of glorious war so well depicted.... The action of the story throughout is splendid, and all aglow with color, movement, and vim. The style is as keen and bright as a sword blade, and a Kipling has done nothing better in this line."--_Chicago Evening Post._ _IN DEFIANCE OF THE KING. A Romance of the American Revolution._ By CHAUNCEY C. HOTCHKISS. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00. "The whole story is so completely absorbing that you will sit far into the night to finish it. You lay it aside with the feeling that you have seen a gloriously true picture of the Revolution."--_Boston Herald._ "The story is a strong one--a thrilling one. It causes the true American to flush with excitement, to devour chapter after chapter until the eyes smart; and it fairly smokes with patriotism."--_New York Mail and Express._ "The heart beats quickly, and we feel ourselves taking part in the scenes described.... Altogether the book is an addition to American literature."--_Chicago Evening Post._ "One of the most readable novels of the year.... As a love romance it is charming, while it is filled with thrilling adventure and deeds of patriotic daring."--_Boston Advertiser._ "This romance seems to come the nearest to a satisfactory treatment in fiction of the Revolutionary period that we have yet had."--_Buffalo Courier._ "A clean, wholesome story, full of romance and interesting adventure.... Holds the interest alike by the thread of the story and by the incidents.... A remarkably well-balanced and absorbing novel."--_Milwaukee Journal._ New York: D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue.
