By =Cyrus Townsend Brady=. Author of “For Love of Country,” “For the
Freedom of the Sea,” “The Southerners,” etc., etc. Morgan was the
most remarkable of all buccaneers. The author shows his ferocity and
cruelty, and depicts him without lightening the dark shadows of his
character. Yet at the same time he brings out the man’s dauntless
courage, his military ability, his absolute disregard of odds, his
wonderful capacity as a sailor, his fertility and resourcefulness,
which awaken our admiration in spite of ourselves. He is shown, _a
real pirate_, just as he was—great and brave, small and mean,
skillful and cruel, and the great lesson of the story is one of just
retribution, in the awful punishment that is finally visited upon
him, by those whom he so fearfully and terribly wronged. Profusely
illustrated from drawings by =J. N. Marchand= and =Will Crawford=.
12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
BECAUSE OF POWER
By =Ella Stryker Mapes=. It is a novel attractively presenting the
counterpoise of character and fate. Broad in conception and true in
tone, the story is handled with distinct style. The spark of life
glows on every page, the atmosphere is vital—electrified by the
quickening currents of humanity.
Hamilton W. Mabie says of it: “There is a great deal of vitality in
it, an amount of passion that gives it color, movement and go, quite
unusual in stories from the pen of American women.” 12mo. Cloth
bound. Illustrated by =Latimer J. Wilson=, $1.50.
THE ROOM WITH THE LITTLE DOOR
By =Roland B. Molineux=. First edition, 25,000 copies. A story that
will be read with the deepest interest. Original, absorbing, and
abounding in heart interest. Of good education and artistic
temperament, no condemned man in America was ever better able to
portray the remarkable delineations at Sing Sing, where, as he
wrote, death itself was the shadow of his pencil, reminding us of
“The Count of Monte Cristo” and of “The Man in the Iron Mask.” Size
5 × 7 inches, beautifully bound in cloth, $1.25.
THE VICE-ADMIRAL OF THE BLUE
By =Roland Burnham Molineux=. Author of “The Room with the Little
Door.” An historical romance dealing in a new and absorbing manner
with the famous love affairs of Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton. The
story opens in Naples, and gives a graphic picture of court life in
the gayest of monarchies, in the days immediately following the
Battle of the Nile. This story carries the reader to Sicily, to
London, where glimpses are had of the beau monde and the old time
tavern life, and later to the extended country homes of the England
of that time. 12mo., cloth bound. Illustrated, $1.50.
