IDo1ATRY: A Romance. By Julian Haw-
thorne. Boston: James r. Osgood Go.
New Orleans: Kahn Il Co.
Were Julian Hawthorne but an Indifferent
writer, anything from his pen would still be
hailed with interest, in memory of his fathers
rare genius and subtle grace. He has, how
ever, peculiar talent of his own; some
what of inheritan and much that is ORR
ginal; crude yet, but full of promise. There
is the same tendency towards weird psy-
Geological mystery, though less morbid and
unearthly; decidedly radical bias in things
spiritual; a tinge of oriental imagery in de-
scription, that makes his tales strangely fasci-
mating. "Bressant wasa success in its way.
q" Idolatry will be success ALSO but only
with cultivated class of readers.
