NOTICES BY THE PRESS
The plot simple and wrought out with entire absence
OF exaggeiaiion But We have not read book for many

tie first page to The last The drlneaton Of negro char
actef though this forms very small part Of story,
its aim. is admirable. The confdilg and aft ctonae

must be heard and we think will help silently strike
off many chains riyeted by custom and seshness NeW
