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.
