The Making of an Englishman
By W. L. GEORGE
Author of “A Bed of Roses,” “Until the Day Break,” etc.
More clearly and cleverly than most books which attempt to do nothing else, Mr. George draws in this novel the contrasted characteristics of English and French. But this is in passing and a frame, as it were, to a story of people who are undeniably and indelibly real. Among the crowd of ephemeral novels of the season it stands out by reason of that quality which is as rare in novels as in people—a strongly marked individuality.

What is Boston society; what kind of people is it composed of; what are its characteristics; what does it amount to in this busy age?
