The Last Lady of Mulberry: A Story of Italian New York
Thomas, Henry Wilton
Italian Americans -- New York (State) -- New York -- Fiction
“A story of absorbing interest and one that will add greatly to the
author’s reputation.... Told with all the brilliancy and charm which
we have come to associate with Mr. Anthony Hope’s work.”--_London
Literary World._
The Chronicles of Count Antonio.
With Photogravure Frontispiece by S. W. Van Schaick. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“No adventures were ever better worth recounting than are those of
Antonio of Monte Velluto, a very Bayard among outlaws.... To all those
whose pulses still stir at the recital of deeds of high courage, we
may recommend this book.... The chronicle conveys the emotion of
heroic adventure, and is picturesquely written.”--_London Daily News._
“It has literary merits all its own, of a deliberate and rather deep
order.... In point of execution ‘The Chronicles of Count Antonio’ is
the best work that Mr. Hope has yet done. The design is clearer, the
workmanship more elaborate, the style more colored.”--_Westminster
Gazette._
The God in the Car.
New edition, uniform with “The Chronicles of Count Antonio.” 12mo.
Cloth, $1.25.
“‘The God in the Car’ is just as clever, just as distinguished in
style, just as full of wit, and of what nowadays some persons like
better than wit--allusiveness--as any of his stories. It is saturated
with the modern atmosphere; is not only a very clever but a very
strong story; in some respects, we think, the strongest Mr. Hope has
yet written.”--_London Speaker._
“A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible
within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial; well considered, but
not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that conceals,
but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom fine literary
method is a keen pleasure.”--_London World._
BOOKS BY GILBERT PARKER.
Uniform Edition.
The Seats of the Mighty.
Being the Memoirs of Captain Robert MORAY, sometime an Officer in the
Virginia Regiment, and afterwards of Amherst’s Regiment. Illustrated,
$1.50.
“Another historical romance of the vividness and intensity of ‘The
Seats of the Mighty’ has never come from the pen of an American. Mr.
Parker’s latest work may without hesitation be set down as the best he
has done. From the first chapter to the last word interest in the book
never wanes; one finds it difficult to interrupt the narrative with
breathing space. It whirls with excitement and strange adventure....
All of the scenes do homage to the genius of Mr. Parker, and make ‘The
Seats of the Mighty’ one of the books of the year.”--_Chicago Record._
“Mr. Gilbert Parker is to be congratulated on the excellence of
his latest story, ‘The Seats of the Mighty,’ and his readers are
to be congratulated on the direction which his talents have taken
therein.... It is so good that we do not stop to think of its
literature, and the personality of Doltaire is a masterpiece of
creative art.”--_New York Mail and Express._
