=WINDSOR CASTLE.= A Historical Romance of the Reign of Henry VIII.,
Catharine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn. By Wm. Harrison Ainsworth. Cloth,
12mo. with four illustrations by George Cruikshank. Price $1.00.

"Windsor Castle" is the story of Henry VIII.,
Catharine, and Anne Boleyn. "Bluff King Hal,"
although a well-loved monarch, was none too good a
one in many ways. Of all his selfishness and
unwarrantable acts, none was more discreditable
than his divorce from Catharine, and his marriage
to the beautiful Anne Boleyn. The King's love was
as brief as it was vehement. Jane Seymour, waiting
maid on the Queen, attracted him, and Anne Boleyn
was forced to the block to make room for her
successor. This romance is one of extreme interest
to all readers.

=HORSESHOE ROBINSON.= A tale of the Tory Ascendency in South Carolina in
1780. By John P. Kennedy. Cloth, 12mo. with four illustrations by J.
Watson Davis. Price, $1.00.

Among the old favorites in the field of what is
known as historical fiction, there are none which
appeal to a larger number of Americans than
Horseshoe Robinson, and this because it is the
only story which depicts with fidelity to the
facts the heroic efforts of the colonists in South
Carolina to defend their homes against the brutal
oppression of the British under such leaders as
Cornwallis and Tarleton.

The reader is charmed with the story of love which
forms the thread of the tale, and then impressed
with the wealth of detail concerning those times.
The picture of the manifold sufferings of the
people, is never overdrawn, but painted faithfully
and honestly by one who spared neither time nor
labor in his efforts to present in this charming
love story all that price in blood and tears which
the Carolinians paid as their share in the winning
of the republic.

Take it all in all, "Horseshoe Robinson" is a work
which should be found on every book-shelf, not
only because it is a most entertaining story, but
