"The story itself is beautiful and it is beautifully
written. It possesses the true spirit of romance, and
is almost poetical in form. The author has undoubtedly
been inspired by his admiration for the Rubaiyat of
Omar Khayyam to write this story of which Omar is the
hero."--_Troy Times._
"Mr. Dole has built a delightful romance."--_Chicago
Chronicle._
"It is a strong and vividly written story, full of the
life and spirit of romance."--_New Orleans Picayune._

"The author handles her elements with skilful
fingers--fingers that feel their way most truthfully
among the actual emotions and occurrences of nineteenth
century romance. Hers is a frank, sensitive touch, and
the result is both complete and full of
interest."--_Boston Ideas._

this author."--_Indianapolis News._
=The Knight of King's Guard.=
A Romance of the Days of the Black Prince. By EWAN
MARTIN. Illustrated by Gilbert James.
1 vol., lib. 12mo, cloth, 300 pages =$1.50=
An exceedingly well written romance, dealing with the
romantic period chronicled so admirably by Froissart.
The scene is laid at a border castle between England
and Scotland, the city of London, and on the French
battle-fields of Cressy and Poitiers. Edward the Third,
Queen Philippa, the Black Prince, Bertrand du Guesclin,
are all historical characters, accurate reproductions
of which give life and vitality to the romance. The
character of the hero is especially well drawn.
