The author has drawn some fine
characters in her book. Every one is
consistent throughout and presented
clearly and with the utmost care. The
writing is in places careless as though
the authors thoughts came faster than
her words and the work shows haste
in these places. On the whole, the
work deserves praise. While discuss

people, it has no tendency to morbidity

ing of the. Mexican war. prior to the
civil war. Historians have called it
the great age of expansion of our
country. The author pictures 1t to us
yividly. The hero was young man
with vigorous interest in every
thing. Seldom has this period, its So
cial and political atmosphere, been SO
clearly revealed.
The characters of the story are typi-
cal of the times, but have, besides, a
strong individuality of their own,
further carrying out the illusion of be-
ing real historical personages.
Mrs. Watts has thoroughly imbued
herself with the spirit OF the times, so
much so that her style Of writing will
probably be compared to that of Thack-
cray. She writes with much more per
sonal restraint than the great novelist,
and never grows too sentimental or, as
we might put it today, 'slushy." Her
style is leiSurely and the book is not
to be read at sitting. The reader who
takes his novels in gilps had best not
try this, for 1t must be read slowly to
be appreciated.
1t is not extravagant to say that
Mrs. Watts is alone in the field she has
chosen, and has brilliant future be-
fore her.

them all the water they wanted to
