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. 



" . . . . Florinae cujusdam matronaa "— 

 AtBERT OF Aix-la-Chapei.le. Histnrj/ 

 of the Cnisaders. book iii. chap. liv. 

 p. 233. (Gesta Dei per Francos). 

 " Let us mention as of (teep interest, and, we 

 may a'id, 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 

 everv 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 nse of his book by a few 

 references to hh authority." — JX'otes and 

 Queries. 



" The present tale will not detract from 

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

 torian, while it will add considerably to his 

 reputation as an able and accomplished ro- 

 mance writer." — Morniny Herald. 



" It is more amusing than nine-tenths of the 

 three-volume novels with which the circu- 

 lating libraries are burdened."— TAc Critic. 



" But as light is occasionally bewilderin',', we 

 are well content to be amused and interested 

 by the combination of such elements undnr the 

 experienced construction of Mr. Mac Cahe, 

 who has acquired no mean reputation in the 

 field of history proper. In his present work 

 he has done something more. He has given • 

 likeness to life_a reality and a human inierest 

 even to a story of the Crusade*, without pla- 

 giari'iing 'Ivanhoe.' and, we may add. with- 

 out having perused ' Moredun.' As the only 

 controversy in t'le hook is between pure Chris- 

 tianity and pure Mahommedanism, the most 

 Pr itestant readers need not be afraid of their 

 sympathies being jesuitically seduced." — The 

 Leader.
