Wallace. The Repose in Egypt: A Medley. By Susan E. Wallace. Finely illustrated. Large 12mo, cloth, $1.00 (40c)
“Mrs. Wallace has a sense of humor, and her geniality sparkles and plays over pyramid, sphinx, Colossus and Nile scenery in a way that relieves her descriptions of a thousand times told tale of dullness or repetition. Nothing short of a vigorous writer could do that. The reader is carried along in the charming society of the ‘Antiquary,’ the ‘Historian,’ ‘Thalia,’ so that one feels quite of the party. * * * Romance and philosophy enter entertainingly into this ‘medley,’ which is not altogether without continuity, and the interest is sustained to the end.”—Literary Bureau, Washington, D.C.

“Mrs. Wallace fascinates the reader in two ways: The story itself is one of illimitable interest, and it is charmingly told from beginning to end. The style is of the matter. Mrs. Wallace has steeped her mind in the glory of these wonderful lands—the glory of their traditions, the glory of their scenery—and the touch of her imagination, in its delicate appreciations, its dreamy hints, its allusiveness, its pathetic sympathies, imparts a constant glow to her pages, and makes vivid and life-like a narrative of those far western and old-time countries and peoples.”—Apostolic Guide, Cincinnati.

A Charming Historical Romance.
Ware. Zenobia; or, the Fall of Palmyra. By William Ware. Paper, 10c.; cloth, 30c. (10c)
“It is an historical romance. The scene, the characters, and the historical events are finely selected; for they abound with striking images and associations. It is not a work of an ordinary character. It is the production of a thoughtful, able, imaginative, and, above all, a pure and right-minded author, of clear thought and sound sense.”—Andrews Norton.
