 W. H. Venable, one of the promi- nent authors and historian of this country has expressed himself in the following words concerning the new novel, My Lord Farquhar," by Thos. Emmet Moore, which has just been published: q haveread Tom Moore's forthcoming novel, "My Lord Farqu- har," and I consider it a most lively and entertaining romance. The story is written in a crisp and delightful literary style and is full of dramatic action. While in no sense an imita- tion of any other authr, it is some what in the vein of Egerton Castles masterpiece, "The Pride of Jennico." Adventures in love and in war consti- tute the chief elements of the tale. There is every reason to expect that Mir. Moore's fiction will have run with novel readers everywhere. May the author become rich and famous.o , Mir. Moore is brother-in-law of Mrs. Frank R. Stewart of this city and the novel will shortly be placed on sale at the local news stands.
