arm of that romance.... Mr. Hope's heroes are never dull.... These 'Zenda' stories have added a distinctly modern value to what men and women mean by the 'sense of honor.'... The closing chapters are simply written, elevated in sentiment, and an ideal solution of the fate of _Flavia_ and _Rudolf_." _Geo. W. Smalloy in New York Herald_: "A story which lays a spell upon you. The animation is unceasing, and so, therefore, is the interest.... Mr. Hope has not lost his old deftness in dialogue.... The scene between the two men [Sapt and James] after the murder ... is a masterpiece." _New York Tribune_: "Everything moves swiftly and naturally to the climax, upon which, we may add, Mr. Hope has wreaked himself with a tact that is perhaps the best thing in the book.... It is absorbing, and especially is it an excellent sequel, which is more than can be said of most books of its kind." _Springfield Republican_: "It is a question whether it does not rival 'The Prisoner of Zenda' itself in excellence.... It strikes a stronger and deeper note." _Brooklyn Eagle_: "Has the ring of genuine humanity and true romance." _Chicago Tribune_: "Considered as a sequel, the book is surprisingly good. It retains the spirit of 'Zenda,' is fertile in invention, swift in movement, and is of a thrilling and absorbing nature." 6th Impression of the New Edition of HOPE'S PRISONER OF ZENDA With five full-page illustrations by CHARLES DANA GIBSON, and a view and plan of the castle by HOWARD INCE. 12mo, $1.50. OTHER BOOKS BY ANTHONY HOPE With frontispieces by RACKHAM, RUSSELL, and WECHSLER. 18mo, 75 cents each. INDISCRETION OF THE DUCHESS, _12th Impression_. THE DOLLY DIALOGUES, _10th Impression_. A CHANGE OF AIR, _9th Impression_. A MAN OF MARK, _9th Impression_. SPORT ROYAL, ETC., _4th Impression_. "Tense with sustained power." --_New York Commercial Advertiser_. FOLLY CORNER BY MRS. HENRY DUDENEY 12mo. $1.25. A novel of love against reason in conflict with love conformable to reason, worked out with all the power of the author's former novel, "The Maternity of Harriot Wicken," but much more inviting in subject, characters, and treatment. A distinct advance on that able work and full of promise for the future of this rising author. Scene, Sussex to-day.
