Harrison, Constance Cary (Mrs. Burton Harrison). Carlyles, The: a story of the fall of the confederacy. †$1.50. Appleton.
A Civil war story whose opening chapters give a detailed account of the evacuation of Richmond. When the city is set on fire, the home of Monimia Carlyle is protected by a Union officer who supplants in the young maiden’s affection the place of her accepted Confederate cousin. Molly Ball, a Confederate spy “of that never extinct Amazon brood that springs from sleep at the trumpet’s call” (Nation) calls the cousin off from his initial love pursuits and rather monopolizes the remainder of the story.
