“Mr. Crane’s story should be read for the fidelity with which it
portrays a life that is potent on this island, along with the best
of us. It is a powerful portrayal, and, if somber and repellent,
none the less true, none the less freighted with appeal to those
who are able to assist in righting wrongs.”--_New York Times._
_THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE. An Episode of the American Civil War._ 12mo.
Cloth, $1.00.
“Never before have we had the seamy side of glorious war so well
depicted.... The action of the story throughout is splendid, and
all aglow with color, movement, and vim. The style is as keen and
bright as a sword-blade, and a Kipling has done nothing better in
this line.”--_Chicago Evening Post._
“There is nothing in American fiction to compare with it.... Mr.
Crane has added to American literature something that has never
been done before, and that is, in its own peculiar way,
inimitable.”--_Boston Beacon._
“A truer and completer picture of war than either Tolstoy or
Zola.”--_London New Review._

By A. CONAN DOYLE.
_Uniform edition. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50 per volume._
_UNCLE BERNAC. A Romance of the Empire._ Illustrated.
“‘Uncle Bernac’ is for a truth Dr. Doyle’s Napoleon. Viewed as a
picture of the little man in the gray coat, it must rank before
anything he has written. The fascination of it is
extraordinary.”--_London Daily Chronicle._
“From the opening pages the clear and energetic telling of the
story never falters and our attention never flags.”--_London
Observer._
_RODNEY STONE._ Illustrated.
“A remarkable book, worthy of the pen that gave us ‘The White
Company,’ ‘Micah Clarke,’ and other notable romances.”--_London
Daily News._
“A notable and very brilliant work of genius.”--_London Speaker._
“‘Rodney Stone’ is, in our judgment, distinctly the best of Dr.
Conan Doyle’s novels.... There are few descriptions in fiction that
can vie with that race upon the Brighton road.”--_London Times._
_THE EXPLOITS OF BRIGADIER GERARD. A Romance of the Life of a Typical
Napoleonic Soldier._ Illustrated.
“The brigadier is brave, resolute, amorous, loyal, chivalrous;
never was a foe more ardent in battle, more clement in victory, or
more ready at need.... Gallantry, humor, martial gayety, moving
incident, make up a really delightful book.”--_London Times._
“May be set down without reservation as the most thoroughly
enjoyable book that Dr. Doyle has ever published.”--_Boston
Beacon._
_THE STARK MUNRO LETTERS._ Being a Series of Twelve Letters written by
STARK MUNRO, M. B., to his friend and former fellow-student, Herbert
Swanborough, of Lowell, Massachusetts, during the years 1881-1884.
Illustrated.
