The DREAD AND FEAR
OF KINGS
By J. BRECKENRIDGE ELLIS
12mo . . $1.25
READERS will find in this historical romance a work of thrilling interest. The period is the beginning of the Christian era, and the scenes are laid in Rome, the island of Capri and other parts of Italy. The Emperor, Tiberius, had retired to Capri, and from his mysterious seclusion sent forth decrees which kept the Imperial City in a continual state of terror. A single word uttered in disrespect of the Emperor or his favorite, Sejanus, might mean death and confiscation of property. No man in Rome felt the least security that his life might not in a moment be sworn away by some slave or base informer.
