Henty goes back to the Civil War for the incidents of his story. The friends, as may be readily imagined, are drawn by circumstances to take opposite sides. This is a situation which readily lends itself, in the hands of a skilful artist such as is Mr. Henty, to the making of a good story ; and such the reader will find Friends, though Divided, to be.
