By Drax Homer.
_First great Notice_: "By the side of Mr. Drax Homer, Edgar
Allan Poe is a fumbler, and Gaboriau the veriest tiro. In these
supremely arresting pages Mr. Drax Homer voices the cosmic
mystery with unerring skill, and ranges over the whole gamut of
the gruesome. He is the Napoleon of sensation, the Julius Cæsar
of melodrama."--_Daily Idolater._
