Hilliers, Ashton. Fanshawe of the Fifth; being memoirs of a person of quality. †$1.50. McClure.
7–4159.
“Those who relish Besant’s novels, with their quiet movement, gentle sentiment, and abundance of detail, will be apt to like ‘Fanshawe of the fifth.’ The hero, who tells the story of his own life, is the younger son of a noble family. Not succeeding in the army, for which he was intended, he works his way to success through many hardships and perils. There is plenty of adventure.”—N. Y. Times.
