special Connecticut interest, it's autho
being a Southington man and withal 6
I most genial and companionable man

success, and the originality of style and

| that work is made even more NANTES
in this excellent story of the Maine
coast. The book has a distinct charm
and literary flavor of its own and viii
merit the evident success which is in
England its people and types of char
ter by heart, and if this book reminds
the reader Of David Harum in its char
acter delineation, it is not an
imitation of that monumental work as
this one of "Uncle Terry was half
completed before David Harum" APP
peared. Mr.. Mum presents in this sto-
ry a typical New England novel. Few
men are as qualified as he to deal with
the types of character ne presents
from actual knowledge thereof. While
the story is carried with a strength ard
knowledge which shows the keen man
of affairs in the author, there 10 rum
ming through the book the grace and
tenderness OF the truly sympathetic adj
mirer OF nature, and the tone Is every
where as pure and wholesome az the
green fields and mirthful brooks, to all
lovers of which the book is dedicated.
The book is intelligently and tastefully
Illustrated, and is more sumptuous in
its appearance than any novel which
has preceded it, having a holiday as
pect which we are glad to say the thor
oughly good story deserves.
