TWENTY EIGHT YEARS IN WALL STREET. By
Henry Clews. Irving publishing company,
New York.
Henry Clews' book, " Twenty-eight
years in Wall street, has been talked of for
a considerable time. 1t has excited great
amount of curiosity. and people everywhere
want to know what Mr. Clews will tell
about his twenty-eight years experience in
the great center of speculation. Curiosity
can now be gratitied. The book is out. 1t
consists of nearly 500 pages, elegantly
printed with clear type. and Mr. Cews de-
scriheS the leading features of his long ex
perience as a tinancier banker and broker,
IN a clear and comprehensive style He
makes no attempt at fine writing, or the
construction of highly polished periods.
The style has, therefore, the merit
of being void Of abstruseness or ambiguity,
though not without real inherent lit
erary merit hereft of any of the tricks of
false adornment which are sometimes used
by the popular author to supply lack of
matter or thought. The author discusses a
variety of subjects having practical bear
ing on Wall street business and financial
affairs intimately and remotely connected
Herewith all of pubic interest. One great
aim of the book is to demonstrate the per-
spnal honor and integrity of Wall street
men, and the honesty of their methods, i'll
opposition to popular but superficial opir
ion that they are defective in these quail
ties. Wall street, as the great money con-
ter, is shown to have been the mighty lever
of industrial development, imparting their
chief vitality to those wonderful pioneers
of civilization, the railroads, and thus ele
waiting the country to an international pO-
sition in the trade and commerce unprece-
dented in its progress in the history Of any
other nation.
