“ The language has the quaintness of old times, and the descriptions are so vivid and
home-like as to make us feel that we are listening to them ourselves ; indeed, the story stands
very high among historical novels, and will be of great interest to any one who has followed
the more critical setting forth of the troubles preceding the Restoration found in the regular
histories. The author has succeeded in giving us the genuine flavor of former days.”

«|... There is a great deal of vivid, thrilling description."—THE NATION.

‘* Wonderfully vivid and realistic, full of the color of the time, and characterized by re-
markable power, . . . there are so many pieces of excellent workmanship in ‘Micah
Clarke’ that it would take too long to name them.”—N. Y. TriBuneg.

‘* We make bold to say that . . . this story of Mr. Doyle’s is easily the best exam-
ple of the class of fiction to which it belongs of the year. Two descriptions of battles in
this story are, it seems to us, among the most brilliant and spirited bits of writing we have
lately had. But it is not merely two or three striking incidents, but the maintained interest
of the entire tale, that leads us to give it such praise as we have risked above. We shall
look with interest for a second story from Mr. Doyle’s pen.”—CHRISTIAN UNION.

‘It is due to the dramatic power of the author that this story becomes so absorbing.
There is quickness and vivacity in it, and the story of the soldier of fortune of that day,
Saxon, who has acquired this military art in Germany, is capitally told. . . . Mr.
Doyle never pauses, and so the reader can go at full gallop through the story.”—N. Y, TimEs-

And Other Tales.

“Lovers of wild adventure, of brilliant satire, of quiet pathos, will all find wherewith to
be content in the little book, which, in its variety of subject and treatment, reads more like a
volume of stories from Maga than a collection of tales from one of the same pen.”
“ —ATHENuUM, London.
‘* This volume of short stories proves Mr. Doyle to be an expert of the most delightful
and skillfull kind in tales of mystery, imagination, and fancy. . . . The book formsa
most delightful addition to the too poor literature of good short stories.”
—ScorsMAN ATHEN/EUM.
‘All the stories will repay careful reading, as in addition to the interest of the plots

the style is singularly varied and reveals as many devices of the literary artist as that of
Robert Louis Stevenson.”—San Francisco CHRONICLE,
