S. BARING GOULD, Author of ‘Mehalah,’ etc. _Third Edition. Royal
8vo. 15s._
‘A most splendid and fascinating book on a subject of undying
interest. The great feature of the book is the use the author has
made of the existing portraits of the Caesars, and the admirable
critical subtlety he has exhibited in dealing with this line of
research. It is brilliantly written, and the illustrations are
supplied on a scale of profuse magnificence.’—_Daily Chronicle._
‘The volumes will in no sense disappoint the general reader. Indeed,
in their way, there is nothing in any sense so good in English....
Mr. Baring Gould has presented his narrative in such a way as not to
make one dull page.’—_Athenæum._
_MR. BARING GOULD’S NOVELS_
‘To say that a book is by the author of “Mehalah” is to imply that it
contains a story cast on strong lines, containing dramatic
possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descriptions of Nature, and a
wealth of ingenious imagery.’—_Speaker._
