"There he goes now; to him nothing's happened; but to me, the skewer seems loosening out of the middle of the world. Haul in, haul in, Tahitian!
"A book to make women weep proud tears, and the blood of men to tingle with knightly fervor.... In 'Count Antonio' we think Mr. Hope surpasses himself, as he has already surpassed all the other story-tellers of the period." New York Spirit of the Times. NEW YORK: D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue. THE MANXMAN. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
