THE FALL OF ASGARD,

A Story of St. Olaf's Day.

Two Vols. Globe 8vo. 12s.


SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The AthenÆum says:—'Mr. Corbett's story deserves the welcome that is due to a successful excursion into a comparatively untrodden region—that of mediÆval Norse history.... There is no lack of stirring episode, heroic fighting and feasting, vivid pictures of Norwegian scenery and pagan ceremonial.... What we chiefly like about the book is its wholesome freshness.'

The Guardian says:—'The description of Earl Swend's eluding Olaf's fleet, and again that of the sacking of Nidaros and the sea-fight of Nessi are wonderfully exciting, and the conclusion shows great tragic power. It is altogether a remarkable book.'

The Academy says:—'It is, indeed, a genuine tale of the North, stirring and yet tender, and while the interest never flags, there are many passages of great beauty and power.... But this in no way detracts from the great merit of the story, which is that while it is instinct throughout with the spirit of true poetry, it affords most delightful glimpses of the everyday life and domestic affairs of the very men who once spread terror and devastation along all the coasts of Europe, and who yet introduced Christianity and peace in the North, and wrought for all time the downfall of the Aesir and of Asgard.'


FOR GOD AND GOLD.

Crown 8vo. Macmillan's Colonial Library.

The Times says:—'The story treats with considerable freshness the familiar story of Elizabethan enterprise and adventure on the Spanish main and in Southern America.'

The AthenÆum says:—'No one could have written such a book as "For God and Gold" without saturating himself in the literature of the spacious times therein depicted.... He has produced a fresh and vivid romance, in which the conflicting tendencies of the early Elizabethan epoch—euphuistic, ascetic, and adventurous—are happily and often divertingly contrasted.'
