American Push. By Edgar Fawcett. (Sampson Low, Marston, and Co.1—

The splendours of life among the "upper ten" of New York, the social ambitions of mother and daughter, and other ,passions an i motives are described here with no little force. The scene is changed to a Continental Court, and we are permitted to see the courtship of a king. There is plenty of vigour in Mr. Fawcett's description, and no little skill in his drawing of character. American Push is a tale of more than average merit.
