The author writes with a calmness and precision not generally associated with the class of revolutionists to which he belongs.--_N.Y. Sun._ Stepniak gives a comprehensive view of the matter which he discusses, and his work is valuable as furnishing "the true inwardness" of affairs in the empire of the Tzar.--_Christian Advocate_, Cincinnati.

By Count LEO TOLSTOI. Translated by F.D. MILLET from the French (_Scenes du Siege de Sebastopol_). With Introduction by W.D. HOWELLS. With Portrait. 16mo, Cloth, 75 cents. In his Sebastopol sketches Tolstoi is at his best, and perhaps no more striking example of his manner and form can be found.--_N.Y. Tribune._ There is much strong writing in the book; indeed, it is strength itself, and there is much tenderness as well.--_Boston Traveller._ Its workmanship is superb, and morally its influence should be immense.--_Boston Herald._ It carries us from the shams of society to the realities of war, and sets before us with a graphic power and minuteness the inner life of that great struggle in which Count Tolstoi took part.... A thrilling tale of besieged Sebastopol. All is intensely real, intensely life-like, and doubly striking from its very simplicity. We have before our eyes war as it really is.--_N.Y. Times._ The various incidents of the siege which he selects in order to present it in its different aspects form a graphic whole which can never be forgotten by any one who has once read it, and it must be read to be appreciated.--_Nation_, N.Y. The descriptions, it is needless to say, are masterly. No novelist has ever before succeeded in thus depicting the emotions and utterances of the soldier in battle.--_Boston Beacon._ A powerful appeal against warfare, written in that wonderful style which lends life and character to the most trivial incidents he describes. It is a fascinating book, and one of its chief merits is the introspective art and analytical power which every page reveals.... This is the most nervous and dramatic production of Tolstoi that has been rendered into English.--_N.Y. Sun._ It is, undoubtedly, the most graphic and powerful of Tolstoi's works that has been given to the American reading public.... It should be read and pondered by Christians, philanthropists, statesmen--by every one who can think.--_Chicago Interior._ The profound realism of the book, its native, organic strength, will make it one of the great books of the day. Certainly the underlying, the ever-present horrors of war have seldom been so strikingly set forth.--_St. Louis Republican._ PUBLISHED BY HARPER & BROTHERS, NEW YORK. _The above work sent by mail, postage prepaid, to any part of the United States, Canada, or Mexico, on receipt of the price._
