A Romance of the Carolinas
By GEORGE CARY EGGLESTON
Bound in red silk cloth, Illustrated cover, gilt top, rough edges.
Six drawings by C.D. Williams. Size, 5 × 7-3/4. Price $1.50
A strong, delightful romance of Revolutionary days, most
characteristic of its vigorous author, George Cary Eggleston. The
story is founded on absolute happenings and certain old papers of
the historic Rutledges of Carolina. As a love story, it is sweet
and true; and as a patriotic novel it is grand and inspiring.
The historic setting, and the fact that it is distinctively and
enthusiastically American, have combined to win instant success for
the book.
Louisville Courier Journal: "A fine story of
adventure, teeming with life and aglow with color."
Cleveland World: "There is action, plot, and fire.
Love and valor and loyalty play a part that enhances one's
respect for human nature."
Baltimore Sun: "The story is full of movement. It is
replete with adventure. It is saturated with love."

"THE MASTER OF WARLOCK" has an interesting plot, and is full of
purity of sentiment, charm of atmosphere, and stirring doings. One
of the typical family feuds of Virginia separates the lovers at
first; but, when the hero goes to the war, the heroine undergoes many
hardships and adventures to serve him, and they are happily united in

Dorothy South
A STORY OF VIRGINIA JUST BEFORE THE WAR
Baltimore Sun says:
"No writer in the score and more of novelists now exploiting the
Southern field can, for a moment, compare in truth and interest
to Mr. Eggleston. In the novel before us we have a peculiarly
interesting picture of the Virginian in the late fifties. We are
taken into the life of the people. We are shown the hearts of men
and women. Characters are dearly drawn, and incidents are skilfully
presented."

Philadelphia Home Advocate says:
"As a love story, 'A Carolina Cavalier' is sweet and true; but as a
patriotic novel, it is grand and inspiring. We have seldom found a
stronger and simpler appeal to our manhood and love of country."
