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._
A KING OF TYRE. A Tale of the Times of Ezra and Nehemiah. 16mo, Cloth,
Ornamental, $1 00.
It is altogether a fresh and enjoyable tale, strong in its situations
and stirring in its actions.--_Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette._
The picture of the life and manners of that far-away period is carefully
and artistically drawn, the plot is full of interest, and the whole
treatment of the subject is strikingly original, and there is a dramatic
intensity in the story which will at once remind the reader of
"Ben-Hur."--_Boston Traveller._
THAT ANGELIC WOMAN. A Novel. 16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 00.
The plot is skilfully drawn, the whole story shows dramatic power, and
the conclusion will satisfy those readers who prefer a happy ending of
an exciting tale.--_Observer_, N. Y.
Dramatic, vivid in scene and action, it has many truthful touches, and
is written with the easy clearness and quick movement familiar to Dr.
Ludlow's readers.--_Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette._

THE PRINCE OF INDIA;
Or, Why Constantinople Fell. By LEW. WALLACE, Author of "Ben-Hur," "The
Boyhood of Christ," etc. Two Volumes. 16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $2 50;
Half Leather, $4 00; Three-quarter Leather, $5 00; Three-quarter Calf,
$6 00; Three-quarter Crushed Levant, $8 00. (_In a Box._)
General Wallace has achieved the (literary) impossible. He has struck
the bull's-eye twice in succession. After his phenomenal hit with
"Ben-Hur" he has given us, in "The Prince of India," another book which
no man will say shows the least falling off.... It is a great
book.--_N.Y. Tribune._
A great story. It has power and fire. We believe that it will be read
and re-read.--_N.Y. Sun._
For boldness of conception this romance is unique of its kind. The
amount of research shown is immense. The mere _mise en scene_ necessary
for the proper presentation of the Byzantine period alone involves a
life-long study.... There are incidents innumerable in this romance, and
all are worked up with dramatic effect.--_N.Y. Times._
