_THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE. An Episode of the American Civil War._ By
STEPHEN CRANE. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
“Mr. Stephen Crane is a great artist, with something new to say, and
consequently with a new way of saying it.... In ‘The Red Badge of
Courage’ Mr. Crane has surely contrived a masterpiece.... He has
painted a picture that challenges comparison with the most vivid
scenes of Tolstoy’s ‘La Guerre et la Paix’ or of Zola’s ‘La
Débácle.’”—_London New Review._
“In its whole range of literature we can call to mind nothing so
searching in its analysis, so manifestly impressed with the stamp of
truth, as ‘The Red Badge of Courage.’... A remarkable study of the
average mind under stress of battle.... We repeat, a really fine
achievement.”—_London Daily Chronicle._
“Not merely a remarkable book: it is a revelation.... One feels
that, with perhaps one or two exceptions, all previous descriptions
of modern warfare have been the merest abstractions.”—_St. James
Gazette._
“Holds one irrevocably. There is no possibility of resistance when
once you are in its grip, from the first of the march of the troops
to the closing scenes.... Mr. Crane, we repeat, has written a
remarkable book. His insight and his power of realization amount to
genius.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._
_IN DEFIANCE OF THE KING. A Romance of the American Revolution._ By
CHAUNCEY C. HOTCHKISS. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
“The whole story is so completely absorbing that you will sit far
into the night to finish it. You lay it aside with the feeling that
you have seen a gloriously true picture of the Revolution.”—_Boston
Herald._
“The story is a strong one—a thrilling one. It causes the true
American to flush with excitement, to devour chapter after chapter
until the eyes smart; and it fairly smokes with patriotism.”—_N. Y.
Mail and Express._
“The heart beats quickly, and we feel ourselves taking part in the
scenes described.... Altogether the book is an addition to American
literature.”—_Chicago Evening Post._
“One of the most readable novels of the year.... As a love romance
it is charming, while it is filled with thrilling adventure and
deeds of patriotic daring.”—_Boston Advertiser._
“This romance seems to come the nearest to a satisfactory treatment
in fiction of the Revolutionary period that we have yet
had.”—_Buffalo Courier._
“A clean, wholesome story, full of romance and interesting
adventure.... Holds the interest alike by the thread of the story
and by the incidents.... A remarkably well-balanced and absorbing
novel.”—_Milwaukee Journal._
