BOOKS BY ANTHONY HOPE
The King's Mirror.
Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"Mr. Hope has never given more sustained proof of his cleverness than in 'The King's Mirror.' In elegance, delicacy, and tact it ranks with the best of his previous novels, while in the wide range of its portraiture and the subtlety of its analysis it surpasses all his earlier ventures."—London Spectator.
"Mr. Anthony Hope is at his best in this new novel. He returns in some measure to the color and atmosphere of 'The Prisoner of Zenda.' ...A strong book, charged with close analysis and exquisite irony; a book full of pathos and moral fiber—in short, a book to be read."—London Chronicle.
"A story of absorbing interest and one that will add greatly to the author's reputation.... Told with all the brilliancy and charm which we have come to associate with Mr. Anthony Hope's work."—London Literary World.
The Chronicles of Count Antonio.
With Photogravure Frontispiece by S. W. Van Schaick. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"No adventures were ever better worth recounting than are those of Antonio of Monte Velluto, a very Bayard among outlaws.... To all those whose pulses still stir at the recital of deeds of high courage, we may recommend this book.... The chronicle conveys the emotion of heroic adventure, and is picturesquely written."—London Daily News.
"It has literary merits all its own, of a deliberate and rather deep order.... In point of execution 'The Chronicles of Count Antonio' is the best work that Mr. Hope has yet done. The design is clearer, the workmanship more elaborate, the style more colored."—Westminster Gazette.
The God in the Car.
New edition, uniform with "The Chronicles of Count Antonio." 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
"'The God in the Car' is just as clever, just as distinguished in style, just as full of wit, and of what nowadays some persons like better than wit—allusiveness—as any of his stories. It is saturated with the modern atmosphere; is not only a very clever but a very strong story; in some respects, we think, the strongest Mr. Hope has yet written."—London Speaker.
"A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial; well considered, but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom fine literary method is a keen pleasure."—London World.

By A. CONAN DOYLE.
Uniform edition. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50 per volume.
A DUET, WITH AN OCCASIONAL CHORUS.
"Charming is the one word to describe this volume adequately. Dr. Doyle's crisp style and his rare wit and refined humor, utilized with cheerful art that is perfect of its kind, fill these chapters with joy and gladness for the reader."—Philadelphia Press.
"Bright, brave, simple, natural, delicate. It is the most artistic and most original thing that its author has done.... We can heartily recommend 'A Duet' to all classes of readers. It is a good book to put into the hands of the young of either sex. It will interest the general reader, and it should delight the critic, for it is a work of art. This story taken with the best of his previous work gives Dr. Doyle a very high place in modern letters."—Chicago Times-Herald.
UNCLE BERNAC. A Romance of the Empire.
"Simple, clear, and well defined.... Spirited in movement all the way through.... A fine example of clear analytical force."—Boston Herald.
THE EXPLOITS OF BRIGADIER GERARD.
A Romance of the Life of a Typical Napoleonic Soldier.
"Good, stirring tales are they.... Remind one of those adventures indulged in by 'The Three Musketeers.' ... Written with a dash and swing that here and there carry one away."—New York Mail and Express.
RODNEY STONE.
"A notable and very brilliant work of genius."—London Speaker.
"Dr. Doyle's novel is crowded with an amazing amount of incident and excitement.... He does not write history, but shows us the human side of his great men, living and moving in an atmosphere charged with the spirit of the hard-living, hard-fighting Anglo-Saxon."—New York Critic.
ROUND THE RED LAMP.
Being Facts and Fancies of Medical Life.
"A strikingly realistic and decidedly original contribution to modern literature."—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
THE STARK MUNRO LETTERS.
Being a Series of Twelve Letters written by Stark Munro, M. B., to his friend and former fellow-student, Herbert Swanborough, of Lowell, Massachusetts, during the years 1881-1884.
"Cullingworth, ... a much more interesting creation than Sherlock Holmes, and I pray Dr. Doyle to give us more of him."—Richard le Gallienne, in the London Star.
