"a raIr Rarbartnn.N

The above is the title nt ! new work
by Mrs. Francis HOdgsOn Burnett, an
English lady who had early made
America her home. Her first novel in
Scribner's Monthly was, "That Lass
Louries" but that established her re
putation as q writer. II was received
with euth usiasm in both continents,
and English critics have Wed with
Americas i'll its praises, while edition
after edition has been absorbed by an
eager public. "Haworth's" followed,
and fully sustained its author 8 reputa-
ton. Louisiana" which came next,
presented her in new and entirely
different field but it was, II anything,
even q greater literary success than its
predecessors. IL her latest novel, GA
Fair Barbarian We find Mrs. Burnett
amid etIll other scenes and characters,
and here she seems likely to eclipse, at
least az far as popularity is concerned,
all her earlier tr:umphs. The title OF
the story is in itself most happy con-
ception. The "Fsir Barbarian" is q
young American lady who has lived in
Nevada, and who comes upon an Eng
lish county town, with the suggestive
lame OF "5low bridge" to sstonish It's
inhabitants by an individuality o.
character wholly unique.
The merit of the novel is largely In
It's aimirable purpose and the exquisite
skill with which it is carried out. 1t
is refreshing vindioation ofthe Ameri-
can girl, whom it has been too much the
custom Of writer's to deprecate OF late
Mrs. Burnett knows her we'll and does
her ample justice. She knows Eng
land, too, aud we have the benefit
OF that knowledge in the types of Ens-
lish character presented.
Her pook is likely not only to sue
ceed In favor beyond her own previous
production, but to gain 3 popularity
which none other Of those novels which
have treated this phase ofths American
girl question have obtained.
