Page scan source: Google Books https://books.google.com/books?id=LtJEAAAAYAAJ (Library of the University of Virginia) Appleton's Town and Country Library No. 251 THE SCOURGE OF GOD BY J. BLOUNDELLE-BURTON. _Each, 12mo, cloth, $1.00; paper, 50 cents_. The Clash of Arms. In this stirring romance of the seventeenth century the reader shares the adventures of an English officer who serves under Turenne in his German campaigns. The author has written an engrossing story of love and war. Denounced. "The author of 'Denounced' is second to none in the romantic recounting of the tales of earlier days. A story of the critical times of the vagrant and ambitious Charles I, it is so replete with incident and realistic happenings that one seems translated to the very scenes and days of that troublous era in English history. The interest throughout is of that absorbing and magnetic kind that holds one's attention closely from the first chapter to the last."--_Boston Courier_. In the Day of Adversity "We do not hesitate to declare that Mr. Bloundelle-Burton's new romance will be very hard to beat in its own particular line. . . . Mr. Burton's creative skill is of the kind which must fascinate those who revel in the narratives of Stevenson, Rider Haggard, and Stanley Weyman. Even the author of 'A Gentleman of France' has not surpassed the writer of 'In the Day of Adversity' in the moving interest of his tale."--_St. James's Gazette_. D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK.
