     The many admirers of the brilliant historical romances of the 
     
     late Robert Neilson Step hens will be gratified at the announce- 
     
     ment of a posthumous work by that ifted writer. The rou h 
     
     draft of the story was laid aside for ot er work, and later, wit- 
     
     out completing the novel, the plot was utilized for a p.lay With 
     
     the playp completed Mr. Stephens again turned his attention to 
     
     the novel, but death prevented its completion. Mr. Roberts 
     
     has handled his difficult task of completing the work with care 
     
     and skill. 
     
    

    
     The story, like that of “ The Continental Dragoon, ” takes as 
     
     its theme an incident in the Revolution and, as in the earlier 
     
     novel, the scene is the “ debatable ground ” north of New York. 
     
     In interest of plot and originality of development it is as remark- 
     
     able as the earlier work, but it is more mature, more forceful, 
     
     more real.

     If this book 1s a criterion of what' is to come, Mr. Richardson 
     
     Will take high rank among American novelists. His writing has 
     
     a beauty ofg phrase, a poetry of expression that is unusual, and 
     
     joined to this is directness and power. 
     
    

    
     His plot is well conceived and well executed and his characters 
     
     are living, breathing men and women whose fortunes are fol- 
     
     lowed with ever deepening interest. 
     
    

    
     The scene of the story is Natchez, Miss, in about 1830, and 
     
     the central character is Sargent Everett, 3 young lawyer, in 
     
     whom many will recognize a portrait of the Hon. Seargent 
     
     Prentiss Indeed many of the incidents of the story are drawn 
     
     from the early life of that prominent statesman and silver- 
     
     tongued orator. 
     
    

    
     Young Everett’s struggle for recognition, his final success, his 
     
     brilliant progress in his profession, are matters of absorbing 
     
     interest. His love, his hope, his struggle with self, his temptation, 
     
     and his renunciation, and always his steadfast following of the 
     
     lead of honor, form the theme of ythis remarkable novel.
