This tribute to the San Francisco that passed away with the
disaster of April, 1906, has become classic. Originally it was
printed in the New York _Sun_, having been written with a
copy-boy at the author's elbow. Inspired by the thought of
intimate ties which made every feature of the city dear to him,
and the dangers by which it was still threatened, Mr. Irwin
dashed off a prose epic which will always remain the truest
memorial to San Francisco's greatness.

"She is a lovable creature, as fine a portraiture as any writer
of tales has added to our literature in a generation," says the
_Rochester Post-Express_ of Denise in
A PRINCESS AND ANOTHER
by
LIEUT. STEPHEN JENKINS
"This capital story ... shows as great a knowledge of the
historical situation as that famous novel, Hugh Wynne.... In
point of fact, the novel is excellent history; in point of
fiction, as good a love tale as one may desire. Of excellent
characterization, full of clear, contrasting types, yet never
straining the verisimilitudes, the book possesses brisk
action.... Carried away by the good story he has to relate, he
bears the reader along with him. The plot is well developed....
The novel is as much a promise of good things to come as a
source of present entertainment.... One is safe to predict a
growing audience for Mr. Jenkins' work."--_Louisville
Courier-Journal_.
"It should probably be classified as a historical romance, but
it is vivid, lifelike, and surcharged with human interest. A
story remarkable for its reminiscent value, for its
constructive skill, for its grouping of characters and
incidents in a style which captivates the reader."--_Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle_.
"Stephen Jenkins has proved in 'A Princess and Another' that a
novel of colonial days can still be written that is worth
reading."--_Springfield Republican_.
