wisdom too, in the attitude of the author toward his characters; and the
entire atmosphere of the book is of fine quality. The general accuracy and
vividness of the portraiture are likely to impress everyone. * * * It
contains passages and characterizations that some readers will find it
difficult to forget.--The Hartford Courant.

The bishop's musical son, Stephen's, obstinate vanity, his irritable
nervous nature, his impatience of advice and his wonderful confidence in
his own genius are admirably brought out in the course of the narrative
and the chapter containing his letters to his brother is one of the best
in the book. It shows his character humorously and without exaggeration,
and this is typical of the whole story. The author sees his personages
with a human sympathetic eye.--New York Sun.

"NOTHING BUT PRAISE"

LAZARRE

By MARY HARTWELL CATHERWOOD

Glorified by a beautiful love story.--Chicago Tribune.

We feel quite justified in predicting a wide-spread and prolonged
popularity for this latest comer into the ranks of historical
fiction.--The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

After all the material for the story had been collected a year was
required for the writing of it. It is an historical romance of the better
sort, with stirring situations, good bits of character drawing and a

involved.--N. Y. Herald.

Lazarre, is no less a person than the Dauphin, Louis XVII. of France, and
a right royal hero he makes. A prince who, for the sake of his lady,
scorns perils in two hemispheres, facing the wrath of kings in Europe and
the bullets of savages in America; who at the last spurns a kingdom that
he may wed her freely--here is one to redeem the sins of even those who
"never learn and never forget."--Philadelphia. North American.
