“His chief character, ‘Windbag’ Saunderson, just misses being a remarkable achievement. But only a few telling artistic touches, a little more here, and a little less there, would have made it a much more striking figure and the book much more significant.”

Noble, W. Arthur. Ewa; a tale of Korea.
$1.25. Meth. bk.
6–36433.
“Mr. Noble shows two Korean heroes with their Asiatic prejudices and beliefs crumbling away under the influence of western ideas. Both Sung-Yo, a son of rank, whose chief duty had hitherto been idleness and incapacity, and his friend, Tong-Siki, of a lower class but. greater ability, devote their lives to their country and their hopes of seeing it free.... This little story, with its love interest woven about a slave girl who becomes a convert to Christianity and suffers for her faith, may be relied on to find many eager readers.”—N. Y. Times.
