Vesey, Arthur Henry. Clock and the key. [†]$1.50. Appleton.
An American girl in modern Venice sets her two lovers the task of bringing to her a casket of jewels which disappeared five centuries before. One man is an Italian duke, the other an American. With the girl as the prize, the search for the jewels soon results in a series of complicated and exciting adventures, but at last by the aid of an old and intricate clock, which is itself the key, the jewels come to the girl, and the girl to the man she loves.

This volume “contains six copper plate engravings made by Edwin Davis French from views of New York in the early stages of its history.... ‘These views were selected with care, and graphically represent the gradual growth of the city from the little Dutch trading-post, situated at the Battery, to the more important city depicted in Rollinson’s view of 1801.’ Each view is accompanied by an explanatory sketch from a well-known authority.” (N. Y. Times.)
“The little volume is full of interest to students of New York history.”
