ry pure and simple, one of the old-fashioned,
wholesome, sunshiny kind, with a pure-minded, sound-hearted
hero, and a heroine who is merely a good and beautiful
woman: and if any other lover story half so sweet has been
written this year, it has escaped our notice."--_New York
Times._

"A solid novel with an old-time flavor, as refreshing when
compared to the average modern story as is a whiff of air
from the hills to one just come from a hothouse."--_Boston
Beacon._

"The general conception of the story, the motive of which is
the growth of love between the young chief and heroine, is
delineated with a sweetness and a freshness, a naturalness
and a certainty, which places 'The Lilac Sunbonnet' among
the best stories of the time."--_New York Mail and Express._

"In its own line this little love story can hardly be
excelled. It is a pastoral, an idyl--the story of love and
courtship and marriage of a fine young man and a lovely
girl--no more. But it is told in so thoroughly delightful a
manner, with such playful humor, such delicate fancy, such
true and sympathetic feeling, that nothing more could be
desired."--_Boston Traveller._

"A charming love story, redolent of the banks and braes and
lochs and pines, healthy to the core, the love that God made
for man and woman's first glimpse of paradise, and a
constant reminder of it."--_San Francisco Call._

_THE EXPLOITS OF BRIGADIER GERARD. A Romance of the Life of a Typical
Napoleonic Soldier._ Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

There is a flavor of Dumas's Musketeers in the life of the
redoubtable Brigadier Gerard, a typical Napoleonic soldier,
more fortunate than many of his compeers because some of his
Homeric exploits were accomplished under the personal
observation of the Emperor. His delightfully romantic career
included an oddly characteristic glimpse of England, and his
adventures ranged from the battlefield to secret service. In
picturing the experiences of his fearless, hard-fighting and
hard-drinking hero, the author of "The White Company" has
given us a book which absorbs the interest and quickens the
pulse of every reader.
