‘A tale of the civil war, and abounds
with thrilling incidents of that event-
ful period. It appears to be composed
by a close adherent to historical fact,
and will compare favourably with
some of the many sombre pages which
Sir Walter Scott has indited respect-
ing the same period.” -—A/orning Post

‘*“A most readable little volume,
comprising in a well-told tale an his-
torical sketch of the period indicated,
written in an interesting and instruc-
ive manner, and suitably illustrated.”

illustrations are above the average,’
—Edinburgh Courant.

“A well-written story of the civil
war, from 1642 to 1647," —Scotsman.

 

‘““The story of Charles I. is one
that never loses its charm, and when
so pleasantly and colloquially told,
and embellished by such pretty and
characteristic pictures as we have
here, it will be sure to find a large
and appreciative audience.” —Dazly
Vews.,

‘‘A capitally-written story of the
great civil war, founded on a well-
developed plot, told in spirited lan-
guage, full of incident, and preserv-
ing to the close that historical se-
quence which is so indispensable and
so infrequent a quality in narratives
professing to illustrate notable events.
The illustrations, too, are excellent.”
—Freeman's Fournal.

‘‘TIas many scenes that will touch
boyish sympathies,” —G/oée.

«One of the pleasantest little books
we have met with for some time; it
does not aspire to the dignity of a
novel, but in truth t} is more in it
than in nine-tenths of the more pre-
tentious works in three volumes. It
is charmingly illustrated, as might
have been expected from the pub-
lishers’ name.''—//lustrated Review.

‘The leading story in this prettily

worth most of the three-volume novels
which are published now-a-days. The
illustrations are well executed, and
Messrs. Marcus Ward & Co. have
turned the little volume out most
creditably.”—Civdl Service Gazette.

‘*The book is very well got up, and
the title-page is a refreshing bit of
art.” —~/reland’s Eye.
