By Count Leo TolstoÏ. Translated by F.D. Millet from the French (Scenes du SiÉge de Sebastopol). With Introduction by W.D. Howells. With Portrait. 16mo, Cloth, 75 cents.

In his Sebastopol sketches TolstoÏ is at his best, and perhaps no more striking example of his manner and form can be found.—N.Y. Tribune.

There is much strong writing in the book; indeed, it is strength itself, and there is much tenderness as well.—Boston Traveller.

Its workmanship is superb, and morally its influence should be immense.—Boston Herald.

It carries us from the shams of society to the realities of war, and sets before us with a graphic power and minuteness the inner life of that great struggle in which Count TolstoÏ took part.... A thrilling tale of besieged Sebastopol. All is intensely real, intensely life-like, and doubly striking from its very simplicity. We have before our eyes war as it really is.—N.Y. Times.

The various incidents of the siege which he selects in order to present it in its different aspects form a graphic whole which can never be forgotten by any one who has once read it, and it must be read to be appreciated.—Nation, N.Y.

The descriptions, it is needless to say, are masterly. No novelist has ever before succeeded in thus depicting the emotions and utterances of the soldier in battle.—Boston Beacon.

A powerful appeal against warfare, written in that wonderful style which lends life and character to the most trivial incidents he describes. It is a fascinating book, and one of its chief merits is the introspective art and analytical power which every page reveals.... This is the most nervous and dramatic production of TolstoÏ that has been rendered into English.—N.Y. Sun.

It is, undoubtedly, the most graphic and powerful of TolstoÏ's works that has been given to the American reading public.... It should be read and pondered by Christians, philanthropists, statesmen—by every one who can think.—Chicago Interior.

The profound realism of the book, its native, organic strength, will make it one of the great books of the day. Certainly the underlying, the ever-present horrors of war have seldom been so strikingly set forth.—St. Louis Republican.
