With all our love for one another the last night in harbor was a sad night for both. For Constantia, because she was leaving her native land. For me it was saddened by the sight of the ships that lay beside us, laden with those who had supported our cause and must now, for other reasons than Constantia’s, face a life of exile. My heart bled for them; nay, as I write twenty years later, it is still sore for them. But the wound is healing, if slowly, and I look forward in hope and with confidence to a day when the birth and the traditions which we share will once more unite the two branches of our race, it may be in a common cause, it may be in the face of a common peril. So may it be! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ “_It is one of the most beautiful romances he has produced._” —_Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger._ SIR RIDER HAGGARD’S NEW NOVEL LOVE ETERNAL Crown 8vo. Cloth, $1.50 net “... a romance concerned with two great themes—reincarnation and the persistence of personal communication after death between persons who love each other.... it has some excellent character drawing to recommend it, and not a little basic truth of a kind which many persons are groping for in these days of danger, loss and harsh handling by fate.”—_San Francisco Chronicle._ “A sympathetic romance of love triumphant ... stands well above the average of writings of this kind and will add new credit to the repute of its versatile author.”—_The Tribune, New York._ “The reader’s attention is held, the glimpses of the war in those early days when Godfrey was one of that immortal band of heroes to whom we owe so immeasurable a debt, the ‘contemptible little English army,’ are well done, and there is much that is both touching and beautiful in the depiction of the love—love stronger far than death—between Isobel and Godfrey.”—_The Times, New York._ “To the skeptic and doubter ‘Love Eternal’ will be read merely as a pleasant love story; to the increasing number who feel there is ‘something in’ psychic communications, the book will carry a deeper significance.”—_Detroit Free Press._ Longmans, Green & Co.
