The author of this work wrote la -I year a very strong novel, which was Ol only tine of the best seller of the year, bul ouh of the finest storn - oi the time. Its title was -Nathan Burke.'' It was primarily the inter pretation of a man's character, and aras SO masterly and vitally done as to cause astonishment that it should come from a woman. The author showed her ability to or lite from the man's standpoint, and to judge and discrimi nate very much as a man might do. There was also along with L h i s d lineation of the character of Nathan Burke, a keen study into the ChacaC-beristics ChacaC-beristics and nature of two women, hilling characters also in the book, and wonderfully drawn. The question then arose whether the author could do a like work for the character and vital mental processes and physical characteristics of a worn an The present work, "The Legacy' is the- answer to that question. That, this author has heen even more eue cessful in her delineation of the ehnr actor of a woman than she was with Nathan Burke in the study of the Characteristics ami nature of a man, there can be no question. Lelty Breen, who grows in the story from an alert, inquisitive girl to noble woman hood, ip the heroine, of the work, and she comes out strong, so much so (hat her little, step daughter admires her immensely, and pays her the greatest of ' omplfmente. She alone of an aristocratic aris-tocratic but rather no-account family, shows any evidence of spirit and iii her that spirit is intense, uncompromising, and triumphant. The si on is not only a deep, vital study into the nature of worn an. but is also most entertaininc as .i story, subtle in analysis, vivid in description, and keen in the drawing of characters and the analyzing or their motives and acts. It is a masterful master-ful novel throughout, and places tho writer in Ihe very highest rank of modern authors. A NEW ENGLISH STORY. The BarlV History of Jacob Stahl. Rv I D.
