Terence O’Rourke, an Irish gentleman and soldier, in the capacity of commissioned defender—tho backed by the courage and chivalry which make an undertaking his own affair—arrays himself in a series of adventures against unscrupulous, even villainous royalty. Thru his quick wit and marked swordsmanship he rights the wrongs of good women, at last winning for himself the love of the princess for whom most of his battles are fought.

Vandam, Albert Dresden. Men and manners of the third republic. [**]$3. Pott.
“In part a posthumous work; a charming review of the principal events of the third republic as seen in the men and events of the times.... We have a glimpse behind the scenes, and ... we are brought into such intimate relations with the actors that we are able to form for ourselves a clear and accurate conception of the motives that caused the movement that led to the establishment of the third republic. We are introduced to Thiers and Gambetta.... But it is idle to mention by names the great Frenchmen who appear in the pages of the work; suffice it to say that none of those who were prominent in the days following the downfall of Louis Napoleon are neglected, much less omitted.”—Baltimore Sun.
