Barnes, James. Outside the law. †$1.50. Appleton.
“A detective story with the detective left out.” (Outlook.) Lorrimer, a man of great wealth, imparts to an old servant the secret process by which he can reproduce the works of old engravers with great fidelity. The servant’s treachery in joining a band of counterfeiters starts a series of situations which implicate the innocent Lorrimer, and weave a relentless mesh about him.

Barr, Mrs. Amelia Edith Huddleston. Cecilia’s lovers. †$1.50. Dodd.
A companion book to Mrs. Barr’s “Trinity bells.” New York life of to-day is portrayed, but Cecilia’s “Quakeress benefactor and Quaker home are the most pleasing and realistic features of the book. Her worldly friends and lovers are by no means satisfying to the reader.” (Outlook.)
“As regards the literary quality of the book there is not much to be said, but it is bright and pleasant, and likely enough to find readers.”
