THE MISSISSIPPI
BUBBLE
How the star of good fortune rose and set and rose
again, by a woman’s grace, for one
John Law, of Lauriston
A Novel by EMERSON HOUGH
Emerson Hough has written one of the best novels that has come out in America in many a day. It is an exciting story, with the literary touch on every page.—Jeannette L. Gilder, of The Critic.
In “The Mississippi Bubble” Emerson Hough has taken John Law and certain known events in his career, and about them he has woven a web of romance full of brilliant coloring and cunning work. It proves conclusively that Mr. Hough is a novelist of no extraordinary quality.—The Brooklyn Eagle.
As a novel embodying a wonderful period in the growth of America “The Mississippi Bubble” is of intense interest. As a love story it is rarely and beautifully told. John Law, as drawn in this novel, is a great character, cool, debonair, audacious, he is an Admirable Crichton in his personality, and a Napoleon in his far-reaching wisdom.—The Chicago American.
