Mr. WILLIAM STEARNS DAVIS'S NOVELS
_Each, in decorated cloth cover, $1.50_
=A Friend of Caesar=
"As a story ... there can be no question of its success.... While the beautiful love of Cornelia and Drusus lies at the sound sweet heart of the story, to say so is to give a most meagre idea of the large sustained interest of the whole.... There are many incidents so vivid, so brilliant, that they fix themselves in the memory."--NANCY HUSTON BANKS in _The Bookman_.
"=God Wills It.=" A Tale of the First Crusade. Illustrated by LouisBetts
"Not since Sir Walter Scott cast his spell over us with _Ivanhoe, Count Robert of Paris_, and _Quentin Durward_ have we been so completely captivated by a story as by '_God Wills It_.' It grips the attention of the reader in the first chapter and holds it till the last."--_Christian Endeavor World._
=Falaise of the Blessed Voice.= A Tale of the Youth of St. Louis, Kingof France
"In this tale of the youth of Louis, King of France and afterward saint in the calendar of the Catholic Church, Mr. Davis has fulfilled the promises contained in _A Friend of Caesar_ and '_God Wills It_.' The novel is not only interesting and written with skill in the scenes which are really dramatic, but it is convincing in its character drawing and its analysis of motives."--_Evening Post_, New York.
=A Victor of Salamis.= A Tale of the Days of Xerxes, Leonidas, andThemistocles
"An altogether admirable picture of Hellenic life and Hellenic ideals. It is just such a book as will convey to the average reader what is the eternal value of Greek Life to the world ... carried breathlessly along by a style which never poses, and yet is always strong and dignified.... This remarkable book takes its place with the best of historical fiction. Those who have made their acquaintance with the characters in the days of their youth will find delight in the remembrance. Those who would fain learn something of the golden days of Greece could not do better than use Mr. Davis for guide."--_The Daily Post_, Liverpool.
"It is seldom that the London critics admit that an American may wear the mantle of Scott, but they are declaring that this book entitles Mr. Davis to a place among novelists not far below the author of _The Talisman_."
