“‘A Herald of the West’ is a romance of our history which has not been surpassed in dramatic force, vivid coloring, and historical interest.... In these days when the flush of war has only just passed, the book ought to find thousands of readers, for it teaches patriotism without intolerance, and it shows, what the war with Spain has demonstrated anew, the power of the American people when they are deeply roused by some great wrong.”--_San Francisco Chronicle._ “The book throughout is extremely well written. It is condensed, vivid, picturesque.... A rattling good story, and unrivaled in fiction for its presentation of the American feeling toward England during our second conflict.”--_Boston Herald._ “Holds the attention continuously.... The book abounds in thrilling attractions.... It is a solid and dignified acquisition to the romantic literature of our own country, built around facts and real persons.”--_Chicago Times-Herald._ “In a style that is strong and broad, the author of this timely novel takes up a nascent period of our national history and founds upon it a story of absorbing interest.”--_Philadelphia Item._ “Mr. Altsheler has given us an accurate as well as picturesque portrayal of the social and political conditions which prevailed in the republic in the era made famous by the second war with Great Britain.”--_Brooklyn Eagle._ BY A. CONAN DOYLE. Uniform edition, 12mo. Cloth, $1.50 per volume. _A DUET, WITH AN OCCASIONAL CHORUS._ “Charming is the one word to describe this volume adequately. Dr. Doyle’s crisp style and his rare wit and refined humor, utilized with cheerful art that is perfect of its kind, fill these chapters with joy and gladness for the reader.”--_Philadelphia Press._ “Bright, brave, simple, natural, delicate. It is the most artistic and most original thing that its author has done.... We can heartily recommend ‘A Duet’ to all classes of readers. It is a good book to put into the hands of the young of either sex. It will interest the general reader, and it should delight the critic, for it is a work of art. This story taken with the best of his previous work gives Dr. Doyle a very high place in modern letters.”--_Chicago Times-Herald._ _UNCLE BERNAC. A Romance of the Empire._ “Simple, clear, and well defined.... Spirited in movement all the way through.... A fine example of clear analytical force.”--_Boston Herald._ _THE EXPLOITS OF BRIGADIER GERARD._ _A Romance of the Life of a Typical Napoleonic Soldier._ “Good, stirring tales are they.... Remind one of those adventures indulged in by ‘The Three Musketeers.’... Written with a dash and swing that here and there carry one away.”--_New York Mail and Express._ RODNEY STONE. “A notable and very brilliant work of genius.”--_London Speaker._
