=THE COUNT’S SNUFF-BOX.= A Romance of Washington and Buzzard’s Bay in the War of 1812. By GEORGE R. R. RIVERS, author of “The Governor’s Garden,” “Captain Shays, a Populist of 1786,” etc. Illustrated by Clyde O. DeLand. 12mo. Cloth, gilt top, $1.50. The story of “The Count’s Snuff-Box” is founded on an incident of the War of 1812. In January of that year an adventurer, calling himself Count de Crillon, appeared in Washington, and for some weeks was the central social attraction of the capital. He bore letters from prominent members of Napoleon’s government to M. Serurier, then Minister from France. His motive was ostensibly to help France, and injure Great Britain and the Federalists, but his real object was to secure money for John Henry’s letters. In this he finally succeeded, the United States government purchasing them for fifty thousand dollars. =CAPTAIN SHAYS.= A Populist of 1786. By GEORGE R. R.

The author of this powerful romance lived in Palestine for over five years, and during his residence there had unusual and peculiar advantages for seeing and knowing the people and the country. He has selected the present time for the story, but has drawn freely from all the rich treasures of the past for ornament. The portions connected with the “Thar,” or blood-feud between the Syrian villages, and the insurrection in Crete are not only of uncommon interest and power, but are also intensely dramatic. A biblical, patriarchal, pastoral spirit pervades it. Indeed, the whole book is saturated with the author’s reverence for the Holy Land, its legends, traditions, glory, misery,—its romance, in a word, and its one supreme glory, the impress of the Chosen of God and of the Master who walked among them.—_The Independent._ Mr. Gillman has certainly opened up a new field of fiction. The book is a marvel of power, acute insight, and clever manipulation of thoroughly grounded truths. The story is as much of a giant in fiction as its hero is among men.—_Boston Herald._ The book is one that seems destined to take hold of the popular heart as strongly as did “Ben Hur” or “Quo Vadis,” nor is it less worthy of such popularity than either of those named.—_Art Interchange._
