The Sectional Struggle and Barr's King James
A review contrasts the Harris study of tariff nullification era with Robert Barr's historical novel King James the Scots. It notes Harris's work situates tariff and nullification in early U S history and slavery’s economic role, while praising Barr’s lively portrayal of a young James VI, though warning the novel diverges from strict history.

Bylow Hill, a New England setting for a psychological study
George W Cable's new novel shifts from Southern flair to a New England backdrop.

Strong descriptive passages contrast with dull incidental figures and banal mother daughter exchanges. Colorful illustrations by F C Yohn accompany the work published by Charles Lerner’s Sons.
