This is the first novel by which Mr. Weyman won his great reputation. It is a tale of France during the religious wars of the sixteenth century, and has long ranked as one of the most brilliant historical romances of our day.
THE WAR IN THE AIR. H. G. Wells.
"The War in the Air" is a story of the awful devastation following a conflict between two first-class powers with the resources of the air at their command. It is one of the most brilliant and successful of Mr. Wells's studies in futurity.
RUPERT OF HENTZAU. Anthony Hope.
This is a sequel to the famous "Prisoner of Zenda," already published in the Nelson Library. It tells of the end of the long vendetta between young Rupert of Hentzau and the Englishman, Rudolph Rassendyll. It is needless to praise a book which, with its predecessor, has been recognized as one of the greatest of modern romances.
SALT OF THE SEA. Morley Roberts.
This is a collection of Mr. Morley Roberts's best sea stories selected from half a dozen of his former volumes. "The Promotion of the Admiral" and its sequel have been ranked by good critics as among the best modern short stories. Mr. Roberts is scarcely less fine in his eerie tales, as in the wonderful tale of "Billy be-damned."
