THE CAVALIERS OF ENGLAND;

Or, the Times of the Revolutions of 1642 and 1688. By Henry
William Herbert.
One vol., 12mo., price $1.25.

"They are graphic stories, and in the highest degree attractive to the imagination as
well as instructive, and can not fail to be popular."

Commercial.

"These tales are written in the popular author's best style, and give us a vivid and
thrilling idea of the customs and influences of the chivalrous age."

Christian Freeman.

"His narrative is always full of great interest; his descriptive powers are of an uncommon
order; the romance of history loses nothing at his hands; he paints with the
power, vigor, and effect of a master."

The Times.

"They bring the past days of old England vividly before the reader, and impress upon
the mind with indelible force, the living images of the puritans as well as the cavaliers,
whose earnest character and noble deeds lend such a lively interest to the legends of
the times in which they lived and fought, loved and hated, prayed and revelled."
