The most important work from the pen of ANTHONY HOPE since the
publication of "The Prisoner of Zenda," is to be entitled
"PHROSO"
and is to be issued early in 1897.
[Illustration]
IT IS OF THE SAME GENERAL NATURE AS "THE PRISONER OF ZENDA," BUT
SURPASSES THE LATTER IN MANY RESPECTS.
[Illustration]
The hero is a young English lord of to-day--a man of the same stamp as
Rudolph Rassendyl; while the heroine is the lady Euphrosyne (Phroso) of
Neopolia and more than equals Flavia in courage, interest and charm.
[Illustration]
_Henry B. Weschler has spent nearly a year upon the numerous
illustrations, working from the model and making use of a collection of
Greek costumes, weapons, etc._
[Illustration]
The book will be published at $1.50 and will be well printed and bound;
and an extraordinary success is expected by its publishers.

Transcriber Notes:
Passages in italics were indicated by _underscores_.
Passages in bold were indicated by =equal signs=.
Small caps were replaced with ALL CAPS.
Throughout the document, the oe ligature was replaced with "oe".
Throughout the dialogues, there were words used to mimic accents of
the speakers. Those words were retained as-is.
The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up
paragraphs and so that they are next to the text they illustrate. Thus
the page number of the illustration might not match the page number in
the List of Illustrations, and the order of illustrations may not be the
same in the List of Illustrations and in the book.
Errors in punctuation and inconsistent hyphenation were not corrected
unless otherwise noted.
On page 17, a period was added after "Indeed I also would like to see her."
On the illustration near page 37, the single quotation mark was replaced
with a double quotation mark.
On page 57, a period was added after "the only soul alive I love----".
On page 145, the comma after "Yet she uttered no sound" was replaced
with a period.
On page 170, a period was added after "he set her on his horse".
On page 292, "greated" was replaced with "greeted".
On page 296, "aud" was replaced with "and".
