imagination, to mould the conduct of youth, than these reproductions
of the heroic legends of the old Norse and German
folk?"--_Minneapolis Tribune._

"No more delightful reading for the young can be imagined than that
provided in this interesting book, and the manner of the recital is
so graceful that older readers will derive from it scarcely less
pleasure."--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._

"The story is told simply and strongly, preserving the fire and force
of the original, and not losing the subtle charm of the old fable
with all its pathetic beauty."--_Brooklyn Union-Argus._

"It is a good, strong story; it comes in among the mass of juvenile
books like a wind blown from Northern woods."--_Philadelphia
Sunday-School Times._

THE STORY OF ROLAND.

By JAMES BALDWIN.

With a series of illustrations by R. B. Birch.
One volume, square 12mo $2.00

This volume is intended as a companion to _The Story of Siegfried_. As
_Siegfried_ was an adaptation of Northern myths and romances to the wants
and the understanding of young readers, so is this story a similar
adaptation of the middle-age romances relating to Charlemagne and his
paladins. As Siegfried was the greatest of the heroes of the North, so
too was Roland the most famous among the Knights of the Middle-Ages.
While _The Story of Siegfried_ exemplifies the sublime old-world spirit
of the Gothic nature myths, its counterpart, _The Story of Roland_, is
less remote, and the incidents, though equally wonderful, are of a more
human character and appeal with greater force to our sympathies.

Mr. Birch has contributed a number of spirited illustrations that bring
clearly before the eye the forms of Roland and his friend Oliver, of
Ogier, the Dane, and other famous knights and paladins, as well as the
scenes of their wondrous exploits and adventures.
