ependent_. The book is made in a way that commends it to lovers of the beautiful.--_Chicago Evening Post_. The historical accuracy of Professor Dahn's novels is unimpeachable.--_San Francisco Argonaut_. The book is dramatic. The author has evidently found a new field for historical romance.--_Worcester Spy_. * * * * * A. C. McCLURG & CO., _Publishers_, Chicago A CAPTIVE OF THE ROMAN EAGLES By FELIX DAHN _Author of_ "_Felicitas_" Translated from the German by Mary J. Safford. $1.50 The story deals with that early period when Roman power was feeling the inroads of Christianity, and the Pagan Teutons were not yet converted. It has, however, little to do with religion and much with conflict. A beautiful German girl captured by the Romans is the heroine.--_The Outlook_. The book is of distinct value, as illuminating for us one of the many dim paragraphs in the record of the mighty struggle that Rome waged for centuries with the wild men of Europe.--_Chicago Evening Post_. At the present day he is considered the successor of Ebers in historical fiction.--_Minneapolis Times_. A book not only worth translating, but worth translating well, and its English version, by Mary J. Safford, must be well-nigh as satisfactory as the original.--_Book News_. It has the solid excellence one finds in the stories of Dahn's compatriot, Ebers.--_New York Commercial Advertiser_. A high place in the historical fiction of the year belongs to the translation of Felix Dahn's "Bissula."--_The Churchman_. Such fiction is of the highest literary value. It redeems the appellation "historical novel" from execration and oblivion.--_Louisville Courier-Journal_. Miss Safford has done her work of translating well. The book is published in attractive form, and it is a fine tale.--_Boston Times_. * * * * * A. C.
