not contain any Of the startling dsnous>
msnts that are 30 common in our literature
nowadays. The beok dses not claim to
have sny special moral, or mission. The
author has looked on life in soms Of its
quiet and little noticed phases, and upon
ner modest canvass has produced
sruthfully bright. warm picture. 1t will
bs read with interest by every lover Of
good healthy stories. TIE narrative, is not
over wrought. The characters are in the
main true to life.
Glovsrson and his silent partners. BY Ralph
keeler; Lee and shepard, Boston, Griggs,
Watson 4 Day, Davenport.
This 10 = book Of some value, among the
late contributions to the literature Of 70
nance. A peculiar vein Of quaint humor,
the best feature in the book, runs through
its psg.s. It contains some characters
which are well drawn, that can hardly fail
70 give the rssdsr kindlisr thought Of bis
fsllsw men. and kindlsr purposes towards
them. A psrtiality for German liter aurs,
in the treatment ofths dramatic personas,
10 evident, end rather Odds to the charm
Of The book. The story gives promi.s Of
better things from the same writer in the
future.
