Recounts in an able manner the terrible scenes which culminated in the siege and relief of Londonderry, giving his readers a personal interest in the characters he has created, and many and pathetic are the resulting pictures. Mr. Keightley, with a few deft touches of his pen, brings them home to the reader with a force that enables him to realize what such warfare really means. The French soldier is a strange character, strikingly conceived.—Literary World, London.
The Cavaliers. A Novel. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1.50.
Full of adventure, incident, and the wild spirit of the age, yet written withal in so true, simple, and vigorous a manner that it is the people of the narrative as much as their doings and escapades that interest the reader.—Chicago Journal.
Compels immediate and enduring interest on the part of the reader. From an artistic and literary point of view, indeed, the book is entirely noteworthy. It has swing, verve, and genuine force. The interest is cumulative, and the denouement of the story in no wise disappointing.—Philadelphia Bulletin.
