at the recital of deeds of high
courage, we may recommend this book.... The chronicle conveys the
emotion of heroic adventure, and is picturesquely
written."--_London Daily News_.

"It has literary merits all its own, of a deliberate and rather
deep order.... In point of execution 'The Chronicles of Count
Antonio' is the best work that Mr. Hope has yet done. The design is
clearer, the workmanship more elaborate, the style more
colored."--_Westminster Gazette_.

=The God in the Car.=

New edition, uniform with "The Chronicles of Count Antonio." 12mo.
Cloth, $1.25.

"'The God in the Car' is just as clever, just as distinguished in
style, just as full of wit, and of what nowadays some persons like
better than wit--allusiveness--as any of his stories. It is
saturated with the modern atmosphere; is not only a very clever but
a very strong story; in some respects, we think, the strongest Mr.
Hope has yet written."--_London Speaker_.

"A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible
within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial; well considered,
but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that
conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom
fine literary method is a keen pleasure."--_London World_.

_A DUET, WITH AN OCCASIONAL CHORUS._

"Charming is the one word to describe this volume adequately. Dr.
Doyle's crisp style and his rare wit and refined humor, utilized
with cheerful art that is perfect of its kind, fill these chapters
with joy and gladness for the reader."--_Philadelphia Press_.

"Bright, brave, simple, natural, delicate. It is the most artistic
and most original thing that its author has done.... We can
heartily recommend 'A Duet' to all classes of readers. It is a good
book to put into the hands of the young of either sex. It will
interest the general reader, and it should delight the critic, for
it is a work of art. This story taken with the best of his previous
work gives Dr. Doyle a very high place in modern
letters."--_Chicago Times-Herald_.
