The Bertrams. By Anthony TroUope. 



" ' The Bertrams ' are two brothers and a son of the younger. The 

 latter, the hero of the story, is as agreeable a hero as any we have met 

 for some time, being neither of the morbid, nor of the 'musculnr 

 Christian ' kind. The elder Bertram is a miser who has amassed half a 

 million of money. He is hard, shrewd, and cynical, but not without 

 affection for his nephew, whom he describes contemptuously, but with 

 some truth, as liaving 'a good heart and,' in spite of a double-lirst, 'a 

 bad head.' The hero's father is one of the be.st drawn characters in the 

 bot k. On the whole, we cannot say more of 'The Bertrams,' than 

 that it is one of the best novels of the season." — Daily A>rc'j-. (100)

" This book is full of genius, and contans many strikingly beautiful
