A NOVEL. By EDMUND PENDLETON. 12mo. Cloth, $1,25.
"A Conventional Bohemian" is a society novel, the greater part of the action taking place at summer cottages on the shores of New England. The plot of the story is simple, the action direct, the movement often dramatic. Although a society novel, it reaches at times the heights of passion, and reveals a remarkable knowledge of the motives and conflicts of the human heart. The style is noticeable for epigrammatic wit and wisdom in the lighter scene, and for dramatic power in the serious ones. There are a number of well-drawn characters, the heroine being a peculiarly felicitous study, and the hero a virile and striking portrait. It is a novel sure of many admirers among those who delight in intellectual subtlety and artistic execution.
