SIR HENRY MORGAN—BUCCANEER
ByCyrus Townsend Brady. Author of “For Love of Country,” “For the Freedom of the Sea,” “The Southerners,” etc., etc. Morgan was the most remarkable of all buccaneers. The author shows his ferocity and cruelty, and depicts him without lightening the dark shadows of his character. Yet at the same time he brings out the man’s dauntless courage, his military ability, his absolute disregard of odds, his wonderful capacity as a sailor, his fertility and resourcefulness, which awaken our admiration in spite of ourselves. He is shown,a real pirate, just as he was—great and brave, small and mean, skillful and cruel, and the great lesson of the story is one of just retribution, in the awful punishment that is finally visited upon him, by those whom he so fearfully and terribly wronged. Profusely illustrated from drawings byJ. N. MarchandandWill Crawford. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
BECAUSE OF POWER
ByElla Stryker Mapes. It is a novel attractively presenting the counterpoise of character and fate. Broad in conception and true in tone, the story is handled with distinct style. The spark of life glows on every page, the atmosphere is vital—electrified by the quickening currents of humanity.
Hamilton W. Mabie says of it: “There is a great deal of vitality in it, an amount of passion that gives it color, movement and go, quite unusual in stories from the pen of American women.” 12mo. Cloth bound. Illustrated byLatimer J. Wilson, $1.50.
THE ROOM WITH THE LITTLE DOOR
ByRoland B. Molineux. First edition, 25,000 copies. A story that will be read with the deepest interest. Original, absorbing, and abounding in heart interest. Of good education and artistic temperament, no condemned man in America was ever better able to portray the remarkable delineations at Sing Sing, where, as he wrote, death itself was the shadow of his pencil, reminding us of “The Count of Monte Cristo” and of “The Man in the Iron Mask.” Size 5×7 inches, beautifully bound in cloth, $1.25.
THE VICE-ADMIRAL OF THE BLUE
ByRoland Burnham Molineux. Author of “The Room with the Little Door.” An historical romance dealing in a new and absorbing manner with the famous love affairs of Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton. The story opens in Naples, and gives a graphic picture of court life in the gayest of monarchies, in the days immediately following the Battle of the Nile. The story carries the reader to Sicily, to London, where glimpses are had of the beau monde and the old time tavern life, and later to the extended country homes of the England of that time. 12mo. cloth bound. Illustrated, $1.50.
