***
The story of a young man who, with the help of Cupid, was cured of the habit of opium-habit, is told with undeniable power, though with the greatest simplicity of style.
This book is likely to attract attention strongly to its author.
Not only is there originality in the plot of Augustus M. Swift's story, but he is a writer of very unusual powers and reveals this in a rare combination of lightness and strength which this plot calls for. It is not often that the same hand can sketch with the piquancy and charming naturalness of the lighter side of this love-story, and can draw with such power as is used in the description of Blake's Struggle with Opium.
It is safe to prophesy a very unusual success for the book, if only from curiosity as to its striking plot; but it will have an importance beyond this in securing the immediate recognition of a very noteworthy pen in American fiction.
