Name: Philip Winwood: A Sketch of the Domestic History of an American Captain in the War of Independence; Embracing Events that Occurred between and during the Years 1763 and 1786, in New York and London: written by His Enemy in War, Herbert Russell, Lieutenant in the Loyalist Forces.
Author: Stephens, Robert Neilson

Stephens, Robert Neilson

United States -- History -- Revolution, 1775-1783 -- Fiction

An exceedingly interesting story of sea life and adventure, the scene
of which is laid in the Lagoon Islands of the Pacific.

This is the first complete novel from the pen of Mr. Becke, and
readers of his collections of short stories will quickly recognize
that the author can write a novel that will grip the reader. Strong,
and even tragic, as is his novel in the main, "Edward Barry" has a
happy ending, and woman's love and devotion are strongly portrayed.


Unto the Heights of Simplicity. By JOHANNES REIMERS.

  Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 300 pages.                 $1.25

We take pleasure in introducing to the reading public a writer of
unique charm and individuality. His style is notable for its quaint
poetic idiom and subtle imaginative flavor. In the present story,
he treats with strength and reticence of the relation of the sexes and
the problem of marriage. Certain social abuses and false standards of
morality are attacked with great vigor, yet the plot is so interesting
for its own sake that the book gives no suspicion of being a problem
novel. The descriptions of natural scenery are idyllic in their charm,
and form a fitting background for the love story.


The Black Terror. A ROMANCE OF RUSSIA. By JOHN K. LEYS.

  With frontispiece by Victor A. Searles.

  Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 350 pages.                 $1.50

A stirring tale of the present day, presenting in a new light the
aims and objects of the Nihilists. The story is so vivid and true to
life that it might easily be considered a history of political intrigue
in Russia, disguised as a novel, while its startling incidents and
strange denouement would only confirm the old adage that "truth
is stranger than fiction," and that great historical events may be
traced to apparently insignificant causes. The hero of the story
is a young Englishman, whose startling resemblance to the Czar is
taken advantage of by the Nihilists for the furtherance of their
plans.


The Baron's Sons. By MAURUS JOKAI.

  Author of "Black Diamonds," "The Green Book," "Pretty Michal," etc.
  Translated by Percy F. Bicknell.

  Library 12mo, cloth decorative, with photogravure portrait of the
  author, 350 pages.                                         $1.50

An exceedingly interesting romance of the revolution of 1848, the
scene of which is laid at the courts of St. Petersburg, Moscow, and
Vienna, and in the armies of the Austrians and Hungarians. It follows
the fortunes of three young Hungarian noblemen, whose careers are
involved in the historical incidents of the time. The story is told
with all of Jokai's dash and vigor, and is exceedingly interesting.
This romance has been translated for us directly from the Hungarian,
and never has been issued hitherto in English.


Slaves of Chance. By FERRIER LANGWORTHY.

  With five portraits of the heroines, from original drawings by
  Hiel.

  Library 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top, 350 pages.       $1.50
