THE CHEVALIERS OF FRANCE.

From the Crusaders to the Mareschals of Louis XIV. By Henry
W. Herbert,
author of "The Cavaliers of England," "Cromwell,"
"The Brothers," &c., &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.25.

"Mr. Herbert is one of the best writers of historical tales and legends in this or another
country."

Christian Freeman.

"This is a work of great power of thought and vividness of picturing. It is a moving
panorama of the inner life of the French empire in the days of chivalry."

Albany Spec

"The series of works by this author, illustrative of the romance of history, is deservedly
popular. They serve, indeed, to impart and impress on the mind a great deal of
valuable information; for the facts of history are impartially exhibited, and the fiction
presents a vivid picture of the manners and sentiments of the times."

Journal of Commerce.

"The work contains four historical tales or novelettes, marked by that vigor of style
and beauty of description which have found so many admirers among the readers of
the author's numerous romanaes."

Lowell Journal.
