"Dr. Ebers's romances founded on ancient history are hardly equaled by any other living author.... He makes the men and women and the scenes move before the reader with living reality."--_Boston Home Journal._
"Georg Ebers writes stories of ancient times with the conscientiousness of a true investigator. His tales are so carefully told that large portions of them might be clipped or quoted by editors of guide-books and authors of histories intended to be popular."--_New York Herald._

BY A. CONAN DOYLE.
_THE EXPLOITS OF BRIGADIER GERARD. A Romance of the Life of a Typical Napoleonic Soldier._ Ill.u.s.trated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
There is a flavor of Dumas's Musketeers in the life of the redoubtable Brigadier Gerard, a typical Napoleonic soldier, more fortunate than many of his compeers because some of his Homeric exploits were accomplished under the personal observation of the Emperor. His delightfully romantic career included an oddly characteristic glimpse of England, and his adventures ranged from the battlefield to secret service. In picturing the experiences of his fearless, hard-fighting and hard-drinking hero, the author of "The White Company" has given us a book which absorbs the interest and quickens the pulse of every reader.
_THE STARK MUNRO LETTERS._ Being a Series of Twelve Letters written by STARK MUNRO, M. B., to his friend and former fellow-student, Herbert Swanborough, of Lowell, Ma.s.sachusetts, during the years 1881-1884.
Ill.u.s.trated. 12mo. Buckram, $1.50.
"Cullingworth, ... a much more interesting creation than Sherlock Holmes, and I pray Dr. Doyle to give us more of him."--_Richard le Gallienne, in the London Star._
"Every one who wants a hearty laugh must make acquaintance with Dr.
James Cullingworth."--_Westminster Gazette._
"Every one must read; for not to know Cullingworth should surely argue one's self to be unknown."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"One of the freshest figures to be met with in any recent fiction."--_London Daily News._
"'The Stark Munro Letters' is a bit of real literature.... Its reading will be an epoch-making event in many a life."--_Philadelphia Evening Telegraph._
"Positively magnetic, and written with that combined force and grace for which the author's style is known."--_Boston Budget._
SEVENTH EDITION.
_ROUND THE RED LAMP._ Being Facts and Fancies of Medical Life. 12mo.
Cloth, $1.50.
"Too much can not be said in praise of these strong productions, that, to read, keep one's heart leaping to the throat and the mind in a tumult of antic.i.p.ation to the end.... No series of short stories in modern literature can approach them."--_Hartford Times._
"If Mr. A. Conan Doyle had not already placed himself in the front rank of living English writers by 'The Refugees,' and other of his larger stories, he would surely do so by these fifteen short tales."--_New York Mail and Express._
"A strikingly realistic and decidedly original contribution to modern literature."--_Boston Sat.u.r.day Evening Gazette._
BY S. R. CROCKETT.
_CLEG KELLY, ARAB OF THE CITY. His Progress and Adventures._ Uniform with "The Lilac Sunbonnet" and "Bog-Myrtle and Peat." Ill.u.s.trated. 12mo.
Cloth, $1.50.
It is safe to predict for the quaint and delightful figure of Cleg Kelly a notable place in the literature of the day. Mr. Crockett's signal success in his new field will enlarge the wide circle of his admirers.
The lights and shadows of curious phases of Edinburgh life, and of Scotch farm and railroad life, are pictured with an intimate sympathy, richness of humor, and truthful pathos which make this new novel a genuine addition to literature. It seems safe to say that at least two characters--Cleg and Muckle Alick--are likely to lead Mr. Crockett's heroes in popular favor. The ill.u.s.trations of this fascinating novel have been the result of most faithful and sympathetic study.
_BOG-MYRTLE AND PEAT._ Third edition. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life, written in words that thrill and burn.... Each is a poem that has an immortal flavor. They are fragments of the author's early dreams, too bright, too gorgeous, too full of the blood of rubies and the life of diamonds to be caught and held palpitating in expression's grasp."--_Boston Courier._
"Hardly a sketch among them all that will not afford pleasure to the reader for its genial humor, artistic local coloring, and admirable portrayal of character."--_Boston Home Journal._
"One dips into the book anywhere and reads on and on, fascinated by the writer's charm of manner."--_Minneapolis Tribune._
_THE LILAC SUNBONNET._ Sixth edition. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"A love story pure and simple, one of the old-fas.h.i.+oned, wholesome, suns.h.i.+ny kind, with a pure-minded, sound-hearted hero, and a heroine who is merely a good and beautiful woman; and if any other love story half so sweet has been written this year, it has escaped our notice."--_New York Times._
"The general conception of the story, the motive of which is the growth of love between the young chief and heroine, is delineated with a sweetness and a freshness, a naturalness and a certainty, which places 'The Lilac Sunbonnet' among the best stories of the time."--_New York Mail and Express._
