By W. H. BISHOP.
A striking novel of life at Monte Carlo. It embodies a curious picture
of the growth of the gambling spirit upon a young married man, whose
only fault is his weakness in the presence of alluring pleasure. In
addition to the very remarkable plot, the book is noteworthy for the
delicate and picturesque descriptions of the scenery around Monte
Carlo. Mr. Bishop's easy and very accurate English style adds to the
effectiveness of the book as a work of art.
