Red City the Second Administration Novel Review
Literary notice reviews Dr. Weir Mitchell’s A Novel of the Second Administration of Washington set in 1792 Philadelphia with René de Courval and Margaret among figures like Jefferson and Hamilton. It praises historical detail and character portrayal, but finds the romance not very absorbing. Also surveys Hakluyt Egerton on liberal theology, Miss Lillie Hamilton French on decorative design, and holiday English weeklies, noting vivid period atmosphere and illustrated volumes.
