Brinkmeyer, Rev. Henry. Lover of souls: short conferences on the Sacred Heart of Jesus. *$1. Benziger.

Brinton, Davis. [Trusia: a princess of Krovitch.] †$1.50. Jacobs.
Of the same old ingredients, an obscure corner of Europe, a revolution, a beautiful and throneless princess, and an adventurous American, the author has made a stirring and interesting tale. He carries his readers and his hero in a touring car from a New York club to Krovitch, an ancient kingdom on the borderland of Russia, where there is bloodshed and treachery, war and intrigue, in plenty. There the hero’s valet becomes a king, and the hero wins the love of a princess, Trusia, who after all is better fitted to be the wife of a wealthy New Yorker than mistress of a crumbling medieval castle.
“The proceedings are by turns stirring, comic, and pathetic. If there were less real gore and real killing it would read like unstaged extravaganza. Even as it is it seems widowed without light music.”
