Friday, Dec. 26th, 1902.- “Oliver Langton.” We have received from thopublishers R. F Fenno & 00., N w York, a copy of “Oliver Langton," a novel written by Mr. George A. inlcs, for inner years teacher in the West Side High School, Chicago. and Son 01 our old frien 1, Mr. William Powles, of illt‘ township of Fenclon. We do not_pro- pose to 20 into detailsâ€"to write a re:- ular review of the book- for which we have neither 1111):.- nor space; but. harin;r given it. a careful perusal, we can com. mend it as a very readable, if not high rlass, story. hotter than many that hurt- sufiieicnt Sale to encourage the writer to try his “ prcntice hand” at a s cnnrl work. which we have rrason to know Mr. Powles is already doing. ” Diver Lanuton "will be much appreciated, and is already in great demand. in this country. because all the scenes are laid therein, and many old residents figure in the story; among them Dulphu: Levellcy, whose Franco-English speech esâ€"ospeeiaily the one in defence of O iver at the school trustees’ meetingâ€" nre exceedingly amusing. The hero of the novel makes his first appearance in the book as a boy unjustly accused of complicity in a theft, and towards the end marries the widow of the Rev. Mr Dudley, drowned with two others at Fenclon Falls. Hchad secretly loved her for years, and as Mr. Dudley had left her a large estate in England that he had inherited just before his death, the newly married couple went to the old country. where Mr. Langton soon afterwards became a member of Parlia- ment. Two or three American papers Mr. Puwles has sent us speak highly of his book. Promotion Examinations.
