It is more than ordinarily well written, full of fanciful turns of phrase and short, charming pen pastels, and would be agreeable reading even were the story a less pulse-quickening one. The author’s style is characterized by a quaint and delicate humor.—Commercial Advertiser, New York.
THE PRICE OF PEACE.
A Story of the Times of Ahab, King of Israel.
By A. W. ACKERMAN.
12mo, 390 pages. Price, $1.00.
It throws valuable light upon an eventful period of the history of this wonderful people, and presents a carefully drawn and lifelike picture of a biblical character too little known,—the courageous prophet Micaiah. As a love story it is a gem, and its historical value is marked.—Boston Advertiser.
The author has written a religious narrative of more than ordinary interest. The period is the most picturesque in the history of the ancient Jewish people.—Sun, Baltimore.
It is a vivid and thrilling picture of that wild and distant time, and deepens the interest of the reader in the Bible narrative, while in no way warring against his reverence toward it.—Literary World, Boston.
The stirring events in the time of Ahab have been well wrought together in this book. Micaiah is the hero; Obadiah is skillfully presented, and Elijah appears at intervals. We regard this as an excellent work, alike as a story, a study in character, and a picture of the time.—Sunday Journal, New York.
