Uniform edition, 12mo. Cloth, $1.50 per volume.


UNCLE BERNAC. A Romance of the Empire. Illustrated.

"'Uncle Bernac' is for a truth Dr. Doyle's Napoleon. Viewed as a picture of the little man in the gray coat, it must rank before anything he has written. The fascination of it is extraordinary."—London Daily Chronicle.

"From the opening pages the clear and energetic telling of the story never falters and our attention never flags."—London Observer.


RODNEY STONE. Illustrated.

"A remarkable book, worthy of the pen that gave us 'The White Company,' 'Micah Clarke,' and other notable romances."—London Daily News.

"A notable and very brilliant work of genius."—London Speaker.

"'Rodney Stone' is, in our judgment, distinctly the best of Dr. Conan Doyle's revels. . . . There are few descriptions in fiction that can vie with that race upon the Brighton road."—London Times.


THE EXPLOITS OF BRIGADIER GERARD.
A Romance of the Life of a Typical Napoleonic Soldier. Illustrated.

"The brigadier is brave, resolute, amorous, loyal, chivalrous; never was a foe more ardent in battle, more clement in victory, or more ready at need. . . . Gallantry, humor, martial gayety, moving incident, make up a really delightful book."—London Times.

"May be set down without reservation as the most thoroughly enjoyable book that Dr. Doyle has ever published."—Boston Beacon.


THE STARK MUNRO LETTERS. Being a Series of Twelve Letters written by Stark Munro, M. B., to his friend and former fellow-student, Herbert Rwanborough, of Lowell, Massachusetts, during the years 1881-1884. Illustrated.

"Collingworth. . . . a much more interesting creation than Sherlock Holmes, and I pray Dr. Doyle to give us more of him."—Richard le Gallienne, in the London Star.

"'The Stark Munro Letters' is a bit of real literature. ... Its reading will be an epoch-making event in many a life."—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.


ROUND THE RED LAMP. Being Facts and Fancies of Medical Life.

"Too much can not be said in praise of these strong productions, that to read, keep one's heart leaping to the throat, and the mind in a tumult of anticipation to the end. . . . No series of short stories in modern literature can approach them."—Hartford Times.

"If Dr. A. Conan Doyle had not already placed himself in the front rank of living English writers by 'The Refugees,' and other of his larger stories, he would surely do so by these fifteen short tales."—New York Mail and Express.
