The Rogue's March

A Romance. 12mo, $1.50

"Mr. Hornung has succeeded admirably in his object: his Australian scenes are a veritable nightmare; they sear the imagination, and it will be some time before we get Hookey Simpson, the clank of the chains, and the hero's degradation off our mind."—London Saturday Review.

"Vividly and vigorously told."—London Academy,


Each 12mo, $1,25:

My Lord Duke

"Mr. Hornung is a natural humorist, and has the art of telling a story."—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.

"It is pleasant to turn to a real story by a real story- writer. Such is 'My Lord Duke.' . . . Its story is its own, both in plot and in characterization. It is a capital little novel."—The Nation.

Young Blood

"Whether Lowndes be entirely realized or not does not much matter; the conception of him is already a distinction. He is an adventurer of genius, but not built on the usual lines. . . And his vitality is inexhaustible. We leave him, not without a stain upon his character, but with considerable regret in our minds."—The Bookman.
