SEBASTOPOL.

By Count LEO TOLSTOI. Translated by F.D. MILLET from the French (_Scenes
du Siege de Sebastopol_). With Introduction by W.D. HOWELLS. With
Portrait. 16mo, Cloth, 75 cents.

In his Sebastopol sketches Tolstoi is at his best, and perhaps no more
striking example of his manner and form can be found.--_N.Y. Tribune._

There is much strong writing in the book; indeed, it is strength itself,
and there is much tenderness as well.--_Boston Traveller._

Its workmanship is superb, and morally its influence should be
immense.--_Boston Herald._

It carries us from the shams of society to the realities of war, and
sets before us with a graphic power and minuteness the inner life of
that great struggle in which Count Tolstoi took part.... A thrilling
tale of besieged Sebastopol. All is intensely real, intensely life-like,
and doubly striking from its very simplicity. We have before our eyes
war as it really is.--_N.Y. Times._

The various incidents of the siege which he selects in order to present
it in its different aspects form a graphic whole which can never be
forgotten by any one who has once read it, and it must be read to be
appreciated.--_Nation_, N.Y.

The descriptions, it is needless to say, are masterly. No novelist has
ever before succeeded in thus depicting the emotions and utterances of
the soldier in battle.--_Boston Beacon._

A powerful appeal against warfare, written in that wonderful style which
lends life and character to th
