FLORINE, PRINCESS OF 

 BURGUNDY ; a Tale of the First Cru- 

 saders. By WM. BERNARD MAC CABE, 

 Author of " Bertha," " A Catholic History of 

 England," &c. &c. 



" . . . . Florins cujusdam matronse "— 



Albert of Aix-la-Chapelle, History 

 of the Crusaders, book iii. chap. liv. 

 p. 233. tGesta Dei per Francos). 



" Let us mention as of dee^ interest, and, we 

 may add, of much instruction as a picture of 

 the times, ' Florine, a Tale of the First Crusa- 

 ders,' by W. B. Mac Cabe. As we have no doubt 

 every incident it contains, however startling, 

 has its counterpart in some cotemporary chro- 

 nicle, we wish the learned and able writer had 

 added to the value and use of his Ixjok by a few 

 references to his authority." — JVotes and 



" The present tale will not detract from 

 Mr. Mac Cabe's well-earned celebrity as a his- 

 torian, while it will add considerably to his 

 reputation as an able and accomplished ro- 

 mance writer." — Morning Herald. 



" It is mtfre amusing than nine- tenths of the 

 three-volume novels with which the circu- 

 lating libraries are burdened."— TAe Critic. 



" But as light is occasionally bewildering, we 

 are well content to be amused and interested 

 by the combination of such elements under the 

 experienced construction of Mr. Mac Cabe, 

 who has acquired no mean reputation in the 

 field of history proper. In his present work 

 he has done somethmg more. He has given a 

 likeness to life— a reality and a human interest 

 even to a story of the Crusades, without pla- 

 giarising ' Ivanhoe,' and, we may add, with- 

 out having perused ' Moredun.' As the only 

 controversy m the book is between pure Chris- 

 tianity and pure Mahommedanism, the most 

 Protestant readers need not be afraid of their 

 sympathies being jesuitically seduced." — I'he 

 Leader.
