“A book to make women weep proud tears, and the blood of men to tingle with knightly fervor.... In ‘Count Antonio’ we think Mr. Hope surpasses himself, as he has already surpassed all the other story-tellers of the period.”—_New York Spirit of the Times._ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _THE REDS OF THE MIDI._ An Episode of the French Revolution. By FÉLIX GRAS. Translated from the Provençal by Mrs. CATHARINE A. JANVIER. With an Introduction by THOMAS A. JANVIER. With Frontispiece. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. M. Félix Gras is the official head of the _Félibrige_, the society of Provençal men of letters, the highest honor in their gift. It is believed that the introduction of his rare talent to our readers will meet with prompt appreciation. “In all French history there is no more inspiring episode than that with which M. Gras deals in this story: the march to Paris and the doings in Paris of that Marseilles Battalion made up of men who were sworn to cast down ‘the tyrant,’ and who ‘knew how to die.’ His epitome of the motive power of the Revolution in the feelings of one of its individual pleasant parts is the very essence of simplicity and directness. His method has the largeness and clearness of the Greek drama. The motives are distinct. The action is free and bold. The climax is inevitable, and the story has a place entirely apart from all the fiction of the French Revolution with which I am acquainted.”—_From Mr. Janvier’s Introduction._ _THE GODS, SOME MORTALS, AND LORD WICKENHAM._ By JOHN OLIVER HOBBES. With Portrait. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. “Mrs. Craigie has taken her place among the novelists of the day. It is a high place and a place apart. Her method is her own, and she stands not exactly on the threshold of a great career, but already within the temple of fame.”—_G. W. Smalley, in the Tribune._ “Here is the sweetness of a live love story.... It is to be reckoned among the brilliants as a novel.”—_Boston Courier._ “One of the most refreshing novels of the period, full of grace, spirit, force, feeling, and literary charm.”—_Chicago Evening Post._ “Clever and cynical, full of epigrams and wit, bright with keen delineations of character, and with a shrewd insight into life.”—_Newark Advertiser._ “A novel of profound psychological knowledge and ethical import.... Worthy of high rank in current fiction.”—_Boston Beacon._ _MAELCHO._ By the Hon. EMILY LAWLESS, author of “Grania,” “Hurrish,” etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. “A paradox of literary genius. It is not a history, and yet has more of the stuff of history in it, more of the true national character and fate, than any historical monograph we know. It is not a novel, and yet fascinates us more than any novel.”—_London Spectator._ “Abounds in thrilling incidents.... Above and beyond all, the book charms by reason of the breadth of view, the magnanimity, and the tenderness which animate the author.”—_London Athenæum._
