Hassan, A Fellah; A Romance of Pal.
estine. By Henry Gilman. Price So. 90.
(Boston: Little. Brown & Co. The au-
thor of this powerful romance lived in
Palestine for over FIVE years, and during
his residence there had unusual and pc.
culiar advantages for seeing and knowing
the people and the country, enabling him
to enrich his story with local. character
istios, and information not found in any
other work Of the kind on the Holy Land,
He has selected the present time for the
story, but has drawn freely from all
the rich treasures of the past for orna-
ment. The pen portraits of the people
are studies made upon the spot, and the
descriptions Of Jerusalem and the sur
rounding country are word pictures of
the land as 1t is today, and therefore of
special value. The, portions connected
with the "Thnr," or blood-feud between
the Syrian villages, and the instruction
In Crete, are not only of uncommon in.
terest and power, but are also intensely
dramatic. Sensational and extraordinary
as some of the incidents are, the author
has facts for all of them. The book is
dedicated to Mr.. Gladstone, with his
special permission, very unusual ex-
ception on his part.
The Kings Henchman. A Chronicle
OF the Sixteenth Century. Brought to
light and edited. by William Henry John
son. (Boston: Little, Brown g. Co.
Price $l.50.) This is story of pure love
and stirring action. It purports to be told
by an inseparable attendant of Henry of
Navarro, and that hero of a hundred
fights and as many gallant adventures is
made to live again for us. He moves
across the stage at the head of brave
procession of fair women; makes love
and war in quick alienation; now in
great battle, now rides of the field with
an armful Of captured banners, to lay
them at the feet of his love.
