THE HONORABLE PETER STIRLING.
A NOVEL.
By PAUL LEICESTER FORD. 12mo.
This is pre-eminently a story of American character and American issues. The hero, though a New Yorker engaged in Sixth Ward politics, keeps his friends true to him, and his record clean. Gotham’s Irish politician is vividly characterized, though the “boss” is treated rather leniently. A “Primary,” which to most voters is utterly unknown from actual experience, is truthfully described. But the book is far from being all politics, for both self-sacrifice and love are prominent factors.
JACK O’DOON.
An American Novel by MARIA BEALE.
16mo, (uniform with the Prisoner of Zenda) gilt top, with frontispiece. 75 cents.
The story of a great sacrifice. Quick in action, with stirring episodes on land and sea. The scene is laid on the coast of North Carolina. The picture of the profane old sea captain’s peculiar household is new in fiction. The tragic climax is original and impressive.
