forward from the canvas."--Boston Courier.

"Told in a wonderfully simple and direct style, and with the magic
touch of a man who has the genius of narrative, making the varied
incidents flow naturally and rapidly in a stream of sparkling
discourse."--Detroit Tribune.

"Easily ranks with, if not above, 'A Prisoner of Zenda.' ... Wonderfully
strong, graphic, and compels the interest of the most _blase_ novel
reader."--Boston Advertiser.

"No adventures were ever better worth telling than those of Count
Antonio.... The author knows full well how to make every pulse thrill,
and how to hold his readers under the spell of his magic."--Boston
Herald.

"A book to make women weep proud tears, and the blood of men to tingle
with knightly fervor.... In 'Count Antonio' we think Mr. Hope surpasses
himself, as he has already surpassed all the other story-tellers of the
period."--New York Spirit of the Times.

D. APPLETON & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS.

NOVELS BY HALL CAINE.

THE MANXMAN. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

"A story of marvelous dramatic intensity, and in its ethical
meaning has a force comparable only to Hawthorne's 'Scarlet
Letter.'"--Boston Beacon.

"A work of power which is another stone added to the foundation of
enduring fame to which Mr. Caine is yearly adding."--Public
Opinion.

"A wonderfully strong study of character; a powerful analysis of
those elements which go to make up the strength and weakness of a
man, which are at fierce warfare within the same breast; contending
against each other, as it were, the one to raise him to fame and
power, the other to drag him down to degradation and shame. Never
in the whole range of literature have we seen the struggle between
these forces for supremacy over the man more powerfully, more
realistically delineated than Mr. Caine pictures it."--Boston Home
Journal.

THE DEEMSTER. A Romance of the Isle of Man. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

"Hall Caine has already given us some very strong and fine work,
and 'The Deemster' is a story of unusual power.... Certain passages
and chapters have an intensely dramatic grasp, and hold the
fascinated reader with a force rarely excited nowadays in
literature."--The Critic.

"One of the strongest novels which has appeared in many a
day."--San Francisco Chronicle.

"Fascinates the
