Of intense interest to the whole Christian civilization--_Chicago Tribune_. Interest never wanes; and the story is carried through its many phases of conflict and terror to a climax that enthralls.--_Chicago Record_. As a study of the introduction of the gospel of love into the pagan world typified by Rome, it is marvellously fine.--_Chicago Interior_. The picture here given of life in Rome under the last of the Cæsars is one of unparalleled power and vividness.--_Boston Hom. Journal_. One of the most remarkable books of the decade. It burns upon the brain the struggles and triumphs of the early church.--_Boston Daily Advertiser_. It will become recognized by virtue of its own merits as the one heroic monument built by the modern novelist above the ruins of decadent Rome, and in honor of the blessed martyrs of the early Church.--_Brooklyn Eagle_. Our debt to Sienkiewicz is not less than our debt to his translator and friend, Jeremiah Curtin. The diversity of the language, the rapid flow of thought, the picturesque imagery of the descriptions are all his.--_Boston Transcript_. * * * * * LITTLE, BROWN, & COMPANY, PUBLISHERS BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS THE KNIGHTS OF THE CROSS An Historical Romance of Poland and Germany. By Henryk Sienkiewic. Translated from the Polish by Jeremiah Curtin. Illustrated. Crown 8vo. $2.00 _net_. The greatest work Sienkiewicz has given us.--_Buffalo Express_. It seems superior even to "Quo Vadis" in strength and realism.--_The Churchman_. The construction of the story is beyond praise. It is difficult to conceive of any one who will not pick the book up with eagerness.--_Chicago Evening Post_. There are some scenes in the book that for power and excitement remind one of the great encounter between Ursus and the bull in "Quo Vadis."--_Minneapolis Tribune_. Vivid, dramatic, and vigorous.... His imaginative power, his command of language, and the picturesque scenes he sets combine to fascinate the reader.--_Philadelphia Bulletin_. A book that holds your almost breathless attention as in a vise from the very beginning, for in it love and strife, the most thrilling of all worldly subjects, are described masterfully.--_The Boston Journal_. Another remarkable book. His descriptions are tremendously effective; one can almost hear the sound of the carnage; to the mind's eye the scene of battle is unfolded by a master artist.--_The Hartford Courant_. Thrillingly dramatic, full of strange local color and very faithful to its period, besides having that sense of the mysterious and weird that throbs in the Polish blood and infects alike their music and literature.--_The St. Paul Globe_. * * * * * LITTLE, BROWN, & COMPANY, PUBLISHERS BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS
