ition._ 'It is a perfectly enchanting story of love and chivalry, and pure romance. The outlawed Count is the most constant, desperate, and withal modest and tender of lovers, a peerless gentleman, an intrepid fighter, a very faithful friend, and a most magnanimous foe.'--_Guardian._ PHROSO. Illustrated by H. R. MILLAR. _Third Edition._ 'The tale is thoroughly fresh, quick with vitality, stirring the blood, and humorously, dashingly told.'--_St. James's Gazette._ 'A story of adventure, every page of which is palpitating with action and excitement.'--_Speaker._ 'From cover to cover "Phroso" not only engages the attention, but carries the reader in little whirls of delight from adventure to adventure.'--_Academy._ S.
