A COLONIAL FREE-LANCE. By Chauncey C. Hotchkiss, author of “In Defiance of the King.”
“We have had stories of the Revolution dealing with its statesmen, its soldiers, and its home life, but the good books relating to adventure by sea have been few and far between. The best of these for many a moon is ‘A Colonial Free-Lance’ There is a rattle and dash, a continuity of adventure that constantly chains the reader’s attention and makes the book delightful reading.”—Philadelphia Inquirer.
THE SUN OF SARATOGA. By Joseph A. Altsheler.
“Taken altogether, ‘The Sun of Saratoga’ is the best historical novel of American origin that has been written for years, if not, indeed, in a fresh, simple, unpretending, unlabored, manly way, that we have ever read.”—New York Mail and Express.
MASTER ARDICK, BUCCANEER. By F.H. Costello.

IN DEFIANCE OF THE KING. A Romance of the American Revolution. By Chauncey C. Hotchkiss.
“Thrills from beginning to end with the spirit of the Revolution.... His whole story is so absorbing that you will sit up far into the night to finish it, and lay it aside with the feeling that you have seen a gloriously true picture of the Revolution.”—Boston Herald.
