"THE COUNT OF MONTE-CRISTO."

* * * * *

"The Son of Monte-Cristo" stands at the head of all exciting and
absorbing novels. It is the sequel to "The Wife of Monte-Cristo," and
the end of the continuation of Alexander Dumas' phenomenal romance of
"The Count of Monte-Cristo." Like its renowned predecessors, it
absolutely swarms with thrilling and dramatic incidents and adventures,
everything being fresh, original and delightful. The spell of
fascination is cast over the reader in the opening chapter and remains
unbroken to the end. It deals chiefly with the astounding career of
Esperance, Monte-Cristo's son, whose heroic devotion to Jane Zeld is one
of the most touching and romantic love stories ever written. The scenes
in Algeria have a wild charm, especially the abduction of Esperance and
his struggle with the Sultan on the oasis in the desert. Haydee's
experience in the slave mart at Constantinople is particularly stirring
and realistic, while the episodes in which the Count of Monte-Cristo
figures are exceedingly graphic. The entire novel is powerful and
interesting in the extreme. That it will be read by all who have read
"The Count of Monte-Cristo" and will delight them is certain.
