THE Rescue, a Virginia story, by Miss
Janey B. Hope, is published by J. H. Estill,
Of Savannah, Ga. as number Is Of the
Morning News Library. Miss Hope is the
accomplished daughter of Captain James
Barron Hope, the brilliant editor of the
Norfolk Landmark, and presents in herstory
faithful picture of life in the Old Dominion
at the beginning Of the eighteenth century
The plot is simple, but interesting the
characters distinctly drawn; the dialogue
we'll Ihandled and married by noanachronisms,
while the description of the York river
and its neighboring country-now historic
ground -adds to the local coloring. The
story, as whole, moves very evenly, and is
esq ecially noticeable for the absence of the
common fault Of padding, and we think
the general verdict will be that it is very
credtable work for beginner in field that
offers great opportunities.
