A Friend of Caesar
A TALE OF THE FALL OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC
"As a story ... there can be no question of its success.... While thebeautiful love of Cornelia and Drusus lies at the sound sweet heart of thestory, to say so is to give a most meagre idea of the large sustainedinterest of the whole.... There are many incidents so vivid, so brilliant,that they fix themselves in the memory."--_The Bookman._

"God Wills It"
A TALE OF THE FIRST CRUSADE
"Not since Sir Walter Scott cast his spell over us with 'Ivanhoe,' 'CountRobert of Paris,' and 'Quentin Durward' have we been so completelycaptivated by a story as by 'God Wills It,' by William Stearns Davis. Itgrips the attention of the reader in the first chapter and holds it tillthe last.... It is a story of strenuous life, the spirit of which mightwell be applied in some of our modern Crusades. While true to life in itslocal coloring, it is sweet and pure, and leaves no after-taste ofbitterness. The author's first book, 'A Friend of Caesar,' revealed hispower, and 'God Wills It' confirms and deepens the impressionmade."--_Christian Endeavor World._
