The Career Triumphant.
By Henry B. Boone, joint Author of “Eastover Courthouse’ and “The Redfield Succession.” 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
It is always an entertaining subject when the life of the Old Dominion is made the theme for a well-written novel, but Mr. Boone has succeeded in placing in the environment of contemporary Virginia rural life a number of delightful characters set in that environment with absolute fidelity. The social life of the present-day Virginia, with the assured sense of culture and ease that comes of its well-defined social limits, is given with perfect coloring.
“Should take a prominent place among the early autumn books.”—Boston Transcript.
“As a study of Virginians, Bourbon and reconstructed, it is accurate and entertaining.”—Boston Advertiser.
