"We need not say that the work of Michaud has superseded all other
histories of the Crusades. This history has long been the standard
work with all who could read it in its original language. Another
work on the same subject is as improbable as a new history of the
'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.'"--_Salem Freeman._
"The most faithful and masterly history ever written of the wild
wars for the Holy Land."--_Philadelphia American Courier._
"The ability, diligence, and faithfulness, with which Michaud has
executed his great task, are undisputed; and it is to his
well-filled volumes that the historical student must now resort for
copious and authentic facts, and luminous views respecting this
most romantic and wonderful period in the annals of the Old
World."--_Boston Daily Courier._

_MARMADUKE WYVIL._
An Historical Romance of 1651, by HENRY W. HERBERT, author of the
"Cavaliers of England," &c., &c. Fourteenth Edition. Revised and
Corrected.
"This is one of the best works of the kind we have ever read--full
of thrilling incidents and adventures in the stirring times of
Cromwell, and in that style which has made the works of Mr. Herbert
so popular."--_Christian Freeman, Boston._
"The work is distinguished by the same historical knowledge,
thrilling incident, and pictorial beauty of style, which have
characterized all Mr. Herbert's fictions and imparted to them such
a bewitching interest."--_Yankee Blade._
"The author out of a simple plot and very few characters, has
constructed a novel of deep interest and of considerable historical
value. It will be found well worth reading."--_National AEgis,
Worcester._
