BARROW'S THE FORTUNE OF WAR
A novel of the last year of the American Revolution. 12mo. $1.25.
The scene is laid mainly in New York City during the British occupation, partly on one of the prison ships, and partly in the patriot camp at Morristown. The life in the headquarters of the two armies is cleverly contrasted. The story has a strong "love interest."
N. Y. Times Saturday Review: "The story is a good one, the historical data accurate, and the ways and manners of the period are cleverly presented."
The Outlook: "Miss Elizabeth Barrow has done her work, not only well, but delightfully well."
Chicago Times-Herald: "Another tale of the time of Washington, but one that is more deserving both of popular and critical appreciation than some of the much-vaunted financial successes."
Springfield Republican: "It gives a good picture of New York City as it was in the eighteenth century.... The story is agreeable reading."
Hartford Courant: "She has done good work in her romance; ... it is told in a very attractive way.... The book is decidedly one that will entertain."
