BARABBAS: A DREAM OF THE WORLD'S TRAGEDY _Thirty-second Edition._
'The tender reverence of the treatment and the imaginative beauty
of the writing have reconciled us to the daring of the conception,
and the conviction is forced on us that even so exalted a subject
cannot be made too familiar to us, provided it be presented in the
true spirit of Christian faith. The amplifications of the Scripture
narrative are often conceived with high poetic insight, and this
"Dream of the World's Tragedy" is a lofty and not inadequate
paraphrase of the supreme climax of the inspired narrative.'--_Dublin
Review._
THE SORROWS OF SATAN. _Thirty-eighth Edition._
'A very powerful piece of work.... The conception is magnificent, and
is likely to win an abiding place within the memory of man.... The
author has immense command of language, and a limitless audacity....
This interesting and remarkable romance will live long after much
of the ephemeral literature of the day is forgotten.... A literary
phenomenon ... novel, and even sublime.'--W. T. STEAD in the _Review

Anthony Hope's Novels
_Crown_ 8_vo._ 6_s._ _each._
THE GOD IN THE CAR. _Seventh Edition._
'A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible

but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that
conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom fine
literary method is a keen pleasure.'--_The World._
A CHANGE OF AIR. _Fifth Edition._

A MAN OF MARK. _Fourth Edition._
'Of all Mr. Hope's books, "A Man of Mark" is the one which best
compares with "The Prisoner of Zenda."'--_National Observer._
THE CHRONICLES OF COUNT ANTONIO. _Third Edition._
'It is a perfectly enchanting story of love and chivalry, and pure
romance. The Count is the most constant, desperate, and modest and
tender of lovers, a peerless gentleman, an intrepid fighter, a
faithful friend, and a magnanimous foe.'--_Guardian._
PHROSO. Illustrated by H. R. Millar. _Third Edition_.

adventurous, and a good lover.'--_Athenæum._

constructed plot. Mr. Hope has drawn the contrasts of his women with
marvellous subtlety and delicacy. This love-story of 200 years ago
makes the man and the woman live again.'--_Times._
=S. Baring Gould's Novels=
_Crown_ 8_vo._ 6_s._ _each._
'To say that a book is by the author of "Mehalah" is to imply that
it contains a story cast on strong lines, containing dramatic
possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descriptions of Nature, and a
wealth of ingenious imagery.'--_Speaker._
'That whatever Mr. Baring Gould writes is well worth reading, is a
conclusion that may be very generally accepted. His views of life
are fresh and vigorous, his language pointed and characteristic,
the incidents of which he makes use are striking and original, his
characters are life-like, and though somewhat exceptional people,
are drawn and coloured with artistic force. Add to this that his
descriptions of scenes and scenery are painted with the loving eyes
and skilled hands of a master of his art, that he is always fresh and
never dull, and it is no wonder that readers have gained confidence
in his power of amusing and satisfying them, and that year by year
his popularity widens.'--_Court Circular._

pay fifteen solidi.... The boundary between two estates is formed
by distinct landmarks, such as little mounds of stones.... If a man
oversteps this boundary, _marca_, and enters the property of another,
he shall pay the above mentioned fine." Laws of the Ripuarian Franks,
Sect. 60. So the ancient Bavarian Laws spoke of a man who took a slave
over the borders, _extra terminos hoc est extra marcam_.(xiii. 9). See
