Mr. Wertheimber, of a scholarly Austrian family, went to Japan about the year 1870, and spent many years there, in the service of the Japanese Government. He was an extensive traveller among the inland districts and villages; and contributed many articles and series to the Japan Mail, and other publications. The present book is a romance of the sword, full of charming local color, true to life as it is in Japan, and full of deep and enchaining interest. Its mechanical make-up is sumptuous in every respect.
AGNES SURRIAGE. A Novel. By Edwin Lassetter Bynner, author of "Damen's Ghost," "Penelope's Suitors," etc. $1.50.
Founded upon a romantic episode in early Massachusetts history, introducing by name prominent people of the day, with descriptions of their characters and appearance, weaving in historical events, such as the Louisburg Expedition, Church Squabbles, and the Spinning Craze, and giving a realistic picture of life under the royal governors,—a book which, apart from the thrilling interest of the story, is of permanent value as a painstaking study of an historical epoch.
