loth, $1.50. "If Felix 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_. =The Reds of the Midi.= An episode of the French Revolution. Translated from the Provencal 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_. D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK. BOOKS BY ANTHONY HOPE =The King's Mirror.= Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. "Mr. Hope has never given more sustained proof of his cleverness than in 'The King's Mirror.' In elegance, delicacy, and tact it ranks with the best of his previous novels, while in the wide range of its portraiture and the subtlety of its analysis it surpasses all his earlier ventures."--_London Spectator_. "Mr. Anthony Hope is at his best in this new novel. He returns in some measure to the color and atmosphere of 'The Prisoner of Zenda.' ...A strong book, charged with close analysis and exquisite irony; a book full of pathos and moral fiber--in short, a book to be read."--_London Chronicle_. "A story of absorbing interest and one that will add greatly to the author's reputation.... Told with all the brilliancy and charm which we have come to associate with Mr. Anthony Hope's work."--_London Literary World_. =The Chronicles of Count Antonio.= With Photogravure Frontispiece by S. W. Van Schaick. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. "No adventures were ever better worth recounting than are those of Antonio of Monte Velluto, a very Bayard among outlaws.... To all those whose pulses still stir
