The Days of Bruce, Story from Scottish
History; by Grace Aguilar. New
York, d. Appleton s. Co.
This is beautiful edition in two vol
umes of one of Grace Aguilar's best vol
umes as well as her last. The
Days of Bruce is an endeavor to place be-
fore the reader an interesting narrative OF
period OF history itself a romance and
one "a agreeable as could have been Sc.
lecred. There is combined with the story
of Scotland's brave deliverer an illustra.
tion of female character and descriptive
of much that is excellent in woman. In
Isabella of Buohan is traced high mind
and the resignation of heart wounded in
its best affections, yet trustful in the
midst of trouble. Isoline is the repre-
sentation of character of self-inhicted
unhappiness of too confident and self.
reliant nature. In another, the character
of Agnes, is one who in ipurity and inno-
cence was untitled to battle with the
stern and bitter life with which her path
way ia strewn. This the last work of
Grace Aguilar must meet large and
rapid sale, especially among the thou
sands who admire her writings and de-
light in their perusal.
