"Mr. Hewlett has done one of the most notable things in recent
literature, a thing to talk about with abated breath, as a bit of
master-craftsmanship touched by the splendid dignity of real
creation."--_The Interior._

WHO GOES THERE?
The Story of a Spy in the Civil War
By B. K. BENSON
Cloth. 12mo. $1.50
"Beyond question the best story of the Civil War that has appeared of
recent years.... Veterans who took part in the campaigns of the Army of
the Potomac will follow every page with absorbed interest ... so
detailed and seemingly so accurate are the descriptions of battlefields
and of the positions occupied by the two armies at different times. The
book deserves to be put among the works of history dealing with the
Civil War, rather than among the works of fiction, so great is the
preponderance of fact. It is due to the author's power for graphic
presentation of detail, and his keen regard for the fears and emotions
of his hero, that his book contains much of the interest of a novel
while containing more historical truth than most historical
fictions."--_The Springfield Republican._
"Unquestionably this production ranks with the very best stories that
have been written about the great rebellion.... No veteran of the war
could read of the gallant work done so systematically, yet modestly, by
the almost unknown soldier, Jones Berwick, and add anything to the charm
of the tale."--_Evening Post_, Chicago.
THE HOSTS OF THE LORD
By FLORA ANNIE STEEL
_Author of "On the Face of the Waters," "Voices in the Night," etc._
Cloth. 12mo. $1.50
"'The Hosts of the Lord' is a very dramatic and absorbing story; once
embarked on its broad current, one is carried swiftly to the final
catastrophe.... The novel is not only dramatic in the sense of
presenting a well-defined plot, relating the actors to it and carrying
the narrative on to a tragic climax; it is also full of atmospheric
effects; the languor, the heat, the passion of nature in the East are in
it."--HAMILTON W. MABIE.

IN THE PALACE OF THE KING
A Love Story of Old Madrid
By F. MARION CRAWFORD
_Author of "Via Crucis," "Saracinesca," etc._
Illustrated by FRED ROE
Cloth. 12mo. $1.50
"Marion Crawford's latest story, 'In the Palace of the King,' is quite
up to the level of his best works for cleverness, grace of style, and
sustained interest. It is, besides, to some extent a historical story,
the scene being the royal palace at Madrid, and the author drawing the
characters of Philip II. and Don John of Austria with an attempt, in a
broad, impressionist way, at historic faithfulness. His reproduction of
the life at the Spanish court is as brilliant and picturesque as any of
his Italian scenes, and in minute study of detail is, in a real and
valuable sense, true history."--_The Advance._
