This is a volume of romance, of love and adventure in that picturesque
period when Nova Scotia was passing from the French to the English
regime. Each tale is independent of the others, but the scenes are
similar, and in several of them the evil "Black Abbe"," well known from
the author's previous novels, again appears with his savages at his
heels--but to be thwarted always by woman's wit or soldier's courage.
*Earth's Enigmas.* A new edition, with the addition of three new
stories, and ten illustrations by Charles Livingston Bull.
