A series of vivid pictures of the life of a soldier who was also a
gentleman.--_N. Y. Press._
THE CRIMSON SIGN. A Narrative of the Adventures of Mr. Gervase Orme,
sometime Lieutenant in Mountjoy's Regiment of Foot. Illustrated. Post
8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1.50.
Recounts in an able manner the terrible scenes which culminated in the
siege and relief of Londonderry, giving his readers a personal
interest in the characters he has created, and many and pathetic are
the resulting pictures. Mr. Keightley, with a few deft touches of his
pen, brings them home to the reader with a force that enables him to
realize what such warfare really means. The French soldier is a
strange character, strikingly conceived.--_Literary World_, London.
THE CAVALIERS. A Novel. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental,
$1.50.
Full of adventure, incident, and the wild spirit of the age, yet
written withal in so true, simple, and vigorous a manner that it is
the people of the narrative as much as their doings and escapades that
interest the reader.--_Chicago Journal._
Compels immediate and enduring interest on the part of the reader.
From an artistic and literary point of view, indeed, the book is
entirely noteworthy. It has swing, verve, and genuine force. The
interest is cumulative, and the denouement of the story in no wise
disappointing.--_Philadelphia Bulletin._
