The romantic history transpires in the healthy atmosphere of
the open air on the green earth beneath the open sky.... The figures
of Right, Truth, Justice, Honor, Purity, Courage, Reverence for Law
are always in the background; and the grand passion inspired by the
book is for strength to do well and nobly in the world."--_The
Independent._

Knights of the Round Table. Edited for Boys, with an

illustrations by Alfred Kappes. One volume, crown 8vo,

"Unconsciously as he reads of the brave deeds wrought by the gallant
soldiers told of by Froissart or fancied by Mallory, the boy's heart
is thrilled and his higher nature throbs with knightly longings. He
craves for himself the sturdy courage of Bevis of Hampton, the
courtly grace of Launcelot, the purity of Gallahad; and he hates with
an honest hatred that unleal scoundrel, King Mark. He learns that he
should protect those who are less strong than he is himself; that a
man should never be rude to a woman; that truth must never be
sacrificed, and that the most cowardly thing that a man can do is to
flinch from his duty.
