IMMORTALIS STUDIES FROM THE CHRONICLES OF ROME In two Volumes. Fully Illustrated with Photogravures and Drawings in the Text. Cloth. Crown 8vo. $6.00 net "I have not for a long while read a book which pleased me more than Mr. Crawford's 'Roma.' It is cast in a form so original and so available that it must surely take the place of all other books about Rome which are needed to help one to understand its story and its archaeology.... The book has for me a rare interest."--DR. S. WEIR MITCHELL THE RULERS OF THE SOUTH SICILY, CALABRIA, AND MALTA In two Volumes. Fully Illustrated with Photogravures and Drawings in the Text. Cloth. Crown 8vo. $6.00 net The author has gathered the threads of history and legend which have wound themselves around the three kingdoms of Sicily, Calabria, and Malta. Their history is of a long line of illustrious deeds, full of stirring interest. The illustrations are of unusual beauty, and have been reproduced in both photogravure and half-tone. VIA CRUCIS A ROMANCE OF THE SECOND CRUSADE "Throughout 'Via Crucis' the author shows not only the artist's selective power and a sense of proportion and comparative values, but the Christian's instinct for those things that it is well to think upon.... Blessed is the book that exalts, and 'Via Crucis' merits that beatitude."--_New York Times._ IN THE PALACE OF THE KING A LOVE STORY OF OLD MADRID "Marion Crawford's latest story, 'In the Palace of the King,' is quite up to the level of his best works for cleverness, grace of style, and sustained interest. It is, besides, to some extent a historical story, the scene being the royal palace at Madrid, the author drawing the characters of Philip II. and Don John of Austria, with an attempt, in a broad impressionist way, at historic faithfulness. His reproduction of the life at the Spanish court is as brilliant and picturesque as any of his Italian scenes, and in minute study of detail is, in a real and valuable sense, true history."--_The Advance._ THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 66 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK PAUL PATOFF*** ******* This file should be named 22879.txt or 22879.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/2/8/7/22879 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
