Dodge, Henry Irving. Other Mr. Barclay; drawings by Nella Fontaine Binckley. †$1.50. Consolidated retail booksellers.
A tale of Wall street. “The plot concerns a certain Mr. Barclay, who was a bear, and went short to such an extent that he was ruined. After that he retired to a country town called Cosburg, and filled the place with frenzy. For he got the inhabitants interested in a pool, and later admitted them all as partners with himself in a joint stock grocery concern.” (N. Y. Times.) “The devastation wrought in a sleepy village by one stock gambler who fans the spirit of greed is forcibly depicted.” (Outlook.)
