ANTINOUS 



A ROMANCE OF ANCIENT ROME 



BY 



GEORGE TAYLOR 



From the German by Mary J. Safford. 



" Antinous, a Romance of Ancient Rome, from the 

 German of George Taylor, by Mary J. Safford, is one 

 of those faithful reproductions of ancient manners, cus- 

 toms and scenery which German authors are so fond of 

 writing, and in which they are so wonderfully successful. 

 The story deals with the old age of the Emperor Hadrian 

 and with his favorite Antinous. The recital is full of 

 power, and is extraordinary in its vividly realistic draw- 

 ing of character. Though a minutely close study of 

 historical detail, it is spirited in the telling and of ab- 

 sorbing interest in the plo: and descriptions. The era 

 and the personages stand out with stereoscopic clearness. 

 Nothing could be finer than the portrait of the melan- 

 choly Hadrian and its beautifully-contrasted fellow 

 picture, the sorrowful Antinous. The book is one that 

 appeals to every cultivated taste, and overflows with 

 interest of the most refined description." — Saturday
