“THREE GUARDSMEN SERIES.”

_Petersons’ Complete and Unabridged Editions._

_Foremost among the greatest novels of any age stand the five absorbing romances forming “The Three Guardsmen Series,” as published, by T. B. Peterson & Brothers. They are entitled respectively “The Three Guardsmen; or, The Three Mousquetaires,” “Twenty Years After,” the Sequel to “The Three Guardsmen,” “Bragelonne, the Son at Athos; or, Ten Years Later,” “The Iron Mask; or, The Feats and Adventures of Raoul de Bragelonne,” and “Louise de la Valliere,” the Sequel to “The Iron Mask,” and conclusion of the famous “Three Guardsmen Series” Written by the world-renowned novelist, Alexander Dumas, the best and most powerful writer of fiction France has ever produced, when first published they created an excitement unparalleled in literary annals, and their vast popularity has been steadily maintained ever since. This cannot be wondered at when the books are read, for their fascination, strength and interest are unexampled. The original translations from the French of these superb romances were made by that celebrated translator, Thomas Williams, Esq., for T. B. Peterson & Brothers, and are published only by them. They are altogether complete and unabridged, faithfully reproducing every line that Dumas wrote just as it came from his pen, without the slightest editing, adaptation or modification. They are historical romances, filled to overflowing with love, stirring adventures, gallantry, soldierly daring and manliness, plots and counterplots, dark deeds, political machinations, virtue, vice, innocence and guilt. D’Artagnan, Athos, Aramis and Porthos are the leading personages, and hosts of others fill their varied and important roles. Much light is thrown upon the history of France and the French Court, and that mystery which puzzled the world for nearly two centuries, the identify of the Prisoner in the Iron Mask, is completely solved in a manner so powerful, interesting and ingenious that this episode alone makes this series invaluable._

_Mrs. Southworth’s works have become very popular, and they have great merits as fiction, for she has written many good novels for the fireside, and furnished an amazing fund of pure and healthy entertainment to thousands of readers that have been, and to many thousands more to come. The great secret of her hold upon her readers is, after her inventive genius, in framing the plots of her stories, and in the brisk and wide-awake manner in which all the details are executed. There is no time for listlessness, every movement is animated; and she is not only a popular and entertaining author, but a moral one, as she inculcates propriety, both by precept and by the example of her characters, which are calculated to do good to all readers. Her works should be read by all, for there is not a dull line in any of them, and they are full of thrilling and startling interest. Her characters are drawn with a strong hand, and actually appear to live and move before us. Probably no writer, man or woman, in America, is as popular, or has so wide a circle of readers as has Mrs. Southworth. Her stories are always full of thrilling interest to lovers of the sensational, and for literary merit they rank far above the works of any author or authoress of works of their class. Mrs. Southworth’s stories have won their high place by her ability, and anything with which her name is identified is certain to meet with hearty approval. The following are their names._

CLIQUOT

A RACING STORY OF IDEAL BEAUTY.

BY KATE LEE FERGUSON.

_“Cliquot,” by Kate Lee Ferguson, is a very clever and charming novel of the Amélie Rives school, full of interest, beauty and piquancy. It enters into its subject without the slightest delay, maintains continuous action and avoids digressions. Love, of course, is its predominating theme, but much of its interest centres in the racing career of a fleet thoroughbred stallion from which the romance takes its name and which by reason of intractability and a habit of killing jockeys has failed in every race. Neil Emory, the hero of the novel and his owner, however, finds a boy who manages to control and bring him in a winner. The momentous race is described with such spirit and realism that every patron of the turf will be fascinated, while even the general reader who has no particular love for horse-flesh cannot fail to be thrilled, especially as there is a mystery surrounding the youthful jockey which has a direct bearing upon the plot. Emory is married and has not been released from the wife he has put aside, but this does not prevent him from passionately loving Gwendoline Gwinn, the beautiful heroine and an admirable character, by the way, strong in all those points which bring a man to a woman’s feet and keep him there. Spicy incidents abound and are well worked up, particularly those in which Cassandra Clovis and “Kitty Who Laughs,” a couple of actresses, figure conspicuously. Cassandra is a handsome, passionate creature who loves unbidden and suffers bitterly in consequence. “Kitty Who Laughs” is a mysterious personage in whose history there is a decided pathetic element. The other personages introduced are of minor importance, but well-drawn and representative types of Southern character, for the scene of “Cliquot” is laid in the South, the most thrilling developments taking place in New Orleans. The love passages, of which there are quite a number in the delightful volume, are highly wrought and overflowing with ardent passion, but altogether within the bounds of the natural. They will certainly stir a responsive chord in the breast of every youthful reader and not a few of the older ones. “Cliquot” is written in smoothly flowing style and is both breezy and touching. Its plot is very creditable and the denouement is brought about with a fair degree of skill. The novel will be sure to find many readers and of course will be widely talked about, as in parts it ventures upon ground where delicate treatment is imperative. Amélie Rives has published nothing more passionate and her best works have not caused the sensation “Cliquot” is likely to create._

One Volume.--Paper Cover.--Price 25 Cents.

☞ _“Cliquot” will be found for sale by all Booksellers, by all News Agents, at all News Stands, at all Hotel Stands and Book Stands everywhere, or copies of it will be sent to any one, to any place, at once, post-paid, on remitting price to the publishers_,
