“Mr. Bacheller is admirable alike in his scenes of peace and war. D’ri, a mighty hunter, has the same dry humor as Uncle Eb. He fights magnificently on the ‘Lawrence,’ and was among the wounded when Perry went to the ‘Niagara.’ As a romance of early American history it is great for the enthusiasm it creates.”--_New York Times._ EBEN HOLDEN: A Tale of the North Country. By Irving Bacheller. “As pure as water and as good as bread,” says Mr. Howells. “Read ‘Eben Holden’” is the advice of Margaret Sangster. “It is a forest-scented, fresh-aired, bracing and wholly American story of country and town life. * * * If in the far future our successors wish to know what were the real life and atmosphere in which the country folk that saved this nation grew, loved, wrought and had their being, they must go back to such true and zestful and poetic tales of ‘fiction’ as ‘Eben Holden,’” says Edmund Clarence Stedman. SILAS STRONG: Emperor of the Woods. By Irving Bacheller. With a frontispiece. “A modern _Leatherstocking_. Brings the city dweller the aroma of the pine and the music of the wind in its branches--an epic poem * * * forest-scented, fresh-aired, and wholly American. A stronger character than Eben Holden.”--_Chicago Record-Herald._ VERGILIUS: A Tale of the Coming of Christ. By Irving Bacheller. A thrilling and beautiful story of two young Roman patricians whose great and perilous love in the reign of Augustus leads them through the momentous, exciting events that marked the year just preceding the birth of Christ. Splendid character studies of the Emperor Augustus, of Herod and his degenerate son, Antipater, and of his daughter “the incomparable” Salome. A great triumph in the art of historical portrait-painting. THE FAIR GOD; OR, THE LAST OF THE TZINS. By Lew Wallace. With illustrations by Eric Pape. “The story tells of the love of a native princess for Alvarado, and it is worked out with all of Wallace’s skill * * * it gives a fine picture of the heroism of the Spanish conquerors and of the culture and nobility of the Aztecs.”--_New York Commercial Advertiser._ “_Ben Hur_ sold enormously, but _The Fair God_ was the best of the General’s stories--a powerful and romantic treatment of the defeat of Montezuma by Cortes.”--_Athenæum._ THE CAPTAIN OF THE KANSAS. By Louis Tracy. A story of love and the salt sea--of a helpless ship whirled into the hands of cannibal Fuegians--of desperate fighting and tender romance, enhanced by the art of a master of story-telling who describes with his wonted felicity and power of holding the reader’s attention * * * filled with the swing of adventure. A MIDNIGHT GUEST. A Detective Story. By Fred M. White. With a frontispiece.
