_Philadelphia Press_: The story is an interesting one, and with a plot quite out of the common. _Portland Oregonian_: A story that holds the interest. _Denver Republican_: The characters are exceedingly well depicted. "Gismonda" will prove a favorite with the novel-reading public and become one of the popular books of the season. _Philadelphia Item_: The kind of book which one sits over till he has finished the last word. It is a clever piece of literary work. _New Orleans Picayune_: It is needless to say, as it is Sardou's creation, that it is of intense interest. _Buffalo News_: A vivid and powerful story. _Brooklyn Eagle_: The amplification into the novel is done by Mr. A.

The story has a unique plot, and the characters are well depicted. _Albany Times-Union_: No play produced during the past year has made such an instantaneous and overwhelming success as that of "Gismonda," and we have every reason to believe that the excellent novelization will achieve the same measure of popularity. * * * * * =GISMONDA= is No. 1. of "Drama Series," for sale by all Newsdealers, or will be sent, on receipt of price, 25 cents, to any address postpaid, by =STREET & SMITH, 25-31 Rose St., New York=.
