R E WE R I S E. A Novel.
By JOHN CORDY JEAFFRESOY.
"A clever novel, and one that, without any great wealth or
diversity of incident, contrives to be deeply interesting. The career of
a brillfant young man at college—us temptations, errors, and resolute
self-redemption from evil co:tress—makes the man interest o: the
story, which is set forrh with a vigour and reality that looks like a
daguerreotype ftom facts."—Athenaeum.
Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, successors to Henry Colbttrn.
