. He fights
magnificently on the 'Lawrence,' and was among
the wounded when Perry went to the 'Niagara.'
As a romance of early American history it is
great for the enthusiasm it creates."--_New
York Times._

EBEN HOLDEN: A Tale of the North Country. By Irving Bacheller.

"As pure as water and as good as bread," says
Mr. Howells. "Read 'Eben Holden'" is the advice
of Margaret Sangster. "It is a forest-scented,
fresh-aired, bracing and wholly American story
of country and town life. * * * If in the far
future our successors wish to know what were
the real life and atmosphere in which the
country folk that saved this nation grew,
loved, wrought and had their being, they must
go back to such true and zestful and poetic
tales of 'fiction' as 'Eben Holden,'" says
Edmund Clarence Stedman.

SILAS STRONG: Emperor of the Woods. By Irving Bacheller. With a
frontispiece.

"A modern _Leatherstocking_. Brings the city
dweller the aroma of the pine and the music of
the wind in its blanches--an epic poem * * *
forest-scented, fresh-aired, and wholly
American. A stronger character than Eben
Holden."--_Chicago Record-Herald._

VERGILIUS: A Tale of the Coming of Christ. By Irving Bacheller.

A thrilling and beautiful story of two young
Roman patricians whose great and perilous love
in the reign of Augustus leads them through the
momentous, exciting events that marked the year
just preceding the birth of Christ.

Splendid character studies of the Emperor
Augustus, of Herod and his degenerate son,
Antipater, and of his daughter "the
incomparable" Salome. A great triumph in the
art of historical portrait painting.
