SIR HENRY MORGAN—BUCCANEER
By Cyrus Townsend Brady. Author of “For Love of Country,” “For the Freedom of the Sea,” “The Southerners,” etc., etc. Morgan was the most remarkable of all buccaneers. The author shows his ferocity and cruelty, and depicts him without lightening the dark shadows of his character. Yet at the same time he brings out the man’s dauntless courage, his military ability, his absolute disregard of odds, his wonderful capacity as a sailor, his fertility and resourcefulness, which awaken our admiration in spite of ourselves. He is shown, a real pirate, just as he was—great and brave, small and mean, skillful and cruel, and the great lesson of the story is one of just retribution, in the awful punishment that is finally visited upon him, by those whom he so fearfully and terribly wronged. Profusely illustrated from drawings by J. N. Marchand and Will Crawford. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
BECAUSE OF POWER
By Ella Stryker Mapes. It is a novel attractively presenting the counterpoise of character and fate. Broad in conception and true in tone, the story is handled with distinct style. The spark of life glows on every page, the atmosphere is vital—electrified by the quickening currents of humanity.
