Place and Power.
By Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler, Author of “Concerning Isabel Carnaby,” “The Farringdons,” etc. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
The story of an ambitious young man whose most cherished aims are frustrated through retributive justice. The story is full of interest and attractive characterization, the main action of the plot is skilfully hidden until the right moment, and the dialogue is entertaining and clever.
“A story as brilliant as it is wholesome. Wit and satire flash in the dialogue, and the love scenes are delightful.”—Evening Sun, New York.
“A better book in some respects than the much read ‘Isabel Carnaby.’”—Evening Post, Louisville, Ky.
“Keeps up her reputation for epigram, brilliant delineation of character, and social climaxes.”—Courier-Journal, Louisville, Ky.
“Full of intellect and brightness.”—Globe-Democrat, St. Louis.
“Miss Fowler’s old lightness and cleverness of touch show throughout the book.”—The World, New York.
“The same ring of keen insight, understanding of types of human nature, and ability to create brilliant conversations—the faint, whimsical describing of the hearts of her characters, which gives so vivid and lasting a conception of their personalities.”—Pioneer Press, St. Paul.
