Of the Spaniards it may be said, that in the whole course of their
history they have shown a tendency to extremes. Few people have been
so merciless in warfare; none have turned a religion of love into such
a gloomy and bloody worship; finally, no other nation amuses itself by
playing with death.

Every one should read these remarkable books. They have received the
highest praise everywhere. The distinguished writer, Charles Dudley
Warner, in a review of “With Fire and Sword” in “Harper’s Monthly
Magazine,” says that the author has given, in the character of Zagloba,
a new type to the literature of fiction.
Of these extraordinary romances it has been truly said that _action in
the field has never before been described in any language with such a
marvellous expression of energy_. The comparisons which have suggested
themselves to American critics couple the Polish novelist with such
names as Scott, Dumas, Schiller, Cervantes, Shakespeare, and Homer. The
character of Zagloba has been described as “a curious and fascinating
combination of Falstaff and Ulysses.”
“The only modern romance with which ‘Fire and Sword’ can be compared,”
says the “New York Tribune,” “is ‘The Three Musketeers.’”
_A new Historical Romance by Henryk Sienkiewicz, completing “With Fire
and Sword” and “The Deluge.”_
Pan Michael. An Historical Novel of Poland, the Ukraine, and Turkey. A
sequel to “With Fire and Sword” and “The Deluge.” Translated by JEREMIAH
CURTIN. Crown 8vo. Cloth, $2.00.
This great historical romance completes the remarkable series of
historical novels by Sienkiewicz, begun by “With Fire and Sword” and
continued in “The Deluge.” These powerful works have been received
everywhere with enthusiastic commendation, and the publication of
the final story of the trilogy can only add to and continue their
popularity.
_Without Dogma. A new novel by the author of “With Fire and Sword.”_
Without Dogma. A Novel of Modern Poland. By HENRYK SIENKIEWICZ.
Translated from the Polish by IZA YOUNG. Crown 8vo. Cloth, $1.50.
A psychological novel of modern thought, and of great power. Its
utter contrast to the author’s historical romances exhibits in a most
striking manner the remarkable variety of his genius.
A triumph of psychology.—_Chicago Times._
Belongs to a high order of fiction.—_New York Times._
A masterly piece of writing.—_Pittsburg Bulletin._
