Lamson, ’93). *9I—James Eugene Farmer’s histori- cal novel “The Grenadier—A Story of the Empire,” has been published re- cently by Dodd, Mead & Co. The fol- lowing is quoted concerning it from the New York Commercial Advertiser, under date of Oct. 22; “Among recent attempts at a French historical novel, the best which has come under our notice 1s a tale of the Empire, bearing the simple title of The Grenadier. The author, Mr. Farmer, who is already favorably known to the public for his admirable volume of ‘Essays on French History.” has succeeded at his first attempt in producing a highly creditable and en- tertaining story. As a historical novel it has the right ring to it; from the inti- mate details. of the daily life of the period to the manceuvres of the battle of Waterloo it is obvious that the writer has a firm grip upon his subject. The figure of Napoleon is made to live, and we see the “man of destiny” with all his faults and foibles. A brief glimpse behind the scenes along similar lines has been attempted already by Conan Doyle in his delightful ‘Brigadier Gérard”; but the triumph of Mr. Far- mer’s portrait lies in the fact that after showing Napoleon as more or less of a poseur, and betraying his pet weak- nesses, he still makes us feel his great- ness and share in the enthusiasm of his soldiers.” ’92—A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Hugh A.
