Our Book TABLE.-Messrs Bryan and
McCarter have kindly laid upon our
table copy of "Cord and Creese," by
the author of the dodge Club" "Cord
and Creese" is sensational story, which,
in our opinion, may be spoken of favora-
bly,. Viewed as novel, it is slovenly in
plot, improbable and marvellous in de-
tail, and inartistic and imperfect in
workmanship. On the other hand. it
contains chapters arousing the most in
tense excitement and interest. 'Cord
and Creese'' is q history of vengeance,
located alike in England and India, of
wonderful arrangement of circumstantial
evidence, put together at one time in the
lamest manner, and at another with
singular skill and adroitness. It con-
tains some strong dramatic points, in
spite of the exaggeration of fiction.
''Cord and Creese" is well worth the pc
rusnl, though scarcely the clever book
which might be expected from the raoy
pen of the author of the dodge Climb"
