THE TERROR. A Romance of the French Revolution. By Félix Gras, author of "The Reds of the Midi." Uniform with "The Reds of the Midi." Translated by Mrs. Catharine A. Janvier, 16mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"If Félix Gras had never done any other work than this novel, it would at once give him a place in the front rank of the writers of to day.... 'The Terror' is a story that deserves to be widely read, for, while it is of thrilling interest, holding the reader's attention closely, there is about it a literary quality that makes it worthy of something more than a careless perusal."—Brooklyn Eagle.
"Romantic conditions could hardly be better presented than in a book of this kind, and above all, in a book by Félix Gras.... The romance is replete with interest."—New York Times.
"There is genius in the book. The narrative throbs with a palpitation of virile force and nervous vigor. Read it as a mere story, and it is absorbing beyond description. Consider it as a historical picture, ... and its extraordinary power and significance are apparent."—Philadelphia Press.
"The book may be recommended to those who like strong, artistic, and exciting romances."—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
"Many as have been the novels which have the Revolution as their scene, not one surpasses, if equals, in thrilling interest."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
THE REDS OF THE MIDI. An Episode of the French Revolution. By Félix Gras. Translated from the Provençal by Mrs. Catharine A. Janvier. With an Introduction by Thomas A. Janvier. With Frontispiece, 16mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"I have read with great and sustained interest 'The Reds of the South,' which you were good enough to present to me. Though a work of fiction, it aims at painting the historical features, and such works if faithfully executed throw more light than many so called histories on the true roots and causes of the Revolution, which are so widely and so gravely misunderstood. As a novel it seems to me to be written with great skill."—William E. Gladstone.
"Patriotism, a profound and sympathetic insight into the history of a great epoch, and a poet's delicate sensitiveness to the beauties of form and expression have combined to make M Félix Gras's 'The Reds of the Midi' a work of real literary value. It is as far as possible removed from sensationalism; it is, on the contrary, subdued, simple, unassuming, profoundly sincere. Such artifice as the author has found it necessary to employ has been carefully concealed, and if we feel its presence, it is only because experience has taught that the quality is indispensable to a work which affects the imagination so promptly and with such force as does this quiet narrative of the French Revolution."—New York Tribune.
"It is doubtful whether in the English language we have had a more powerful, impressive, artistic picture of the French Revolution, from the revolutionist's point of view, than that presented in Félix Gras's 'The Reds of the Midi.'... Adventures follow one another rapidly; splendid, brilliant pictures are frequent, and the thread of a tender, beautiful love story winds in and out of its pages."—New York Mail and Express.
