Happily blended in the story is Uncle Lews loving and tender care of his
 daughter, whose well being and 'eddi-
 cation" he assiduously provides for
 finally schooling her at a Catholic con
 vent in Brooklyn for the finishing
 touches of her school career A love story is interwoven and Uncle Lew has
 the satisfaction of seeing her happily
 married. There is much of human ma
 ture in the book which appeals to the readers heart. In an extended notice
 of the book the Mail and Express says:
 Your Uncle Lew" is so convincingly
 an individual that it is difficult to
 speak of him as MT. Sherlock's creation.
 The author could no more have con-
 structed MT. Dunbar out of the usual
 materials employed by fiction makers
 than Uncle Lew could have carved out
 the Cardiff giant with his own hands.
 The first complete story of the incep-
 ton and perpetration upon our Ameri-
 can public, which loves to be hum Ibugged, of the gigantic fraud known as the Cardiff Giant Is here told in full.
 Chicago will be proud to know that the
 'ancient statue" the "petrified man,
 was carved there, that Chicago once outbarnumed Barnum, and that nobody on earth was smart enough to trail the fraid to its lair, to track it to its birth place except Your Uncle Lew"
