Miss Sedgwick’s book is a tale of artist life in London and Paris, and the affecting development of the story is no less striking than is the author’s ability to fix in words the peculiar “color” of the places in which the scenes are laid. =Taken by Siege.= By JEANNETTE L. GILDER, Editor of _The Critic_, 12mo, $1.25. “Miss Gilder’s long acquaintance with New York journalism has fully equipped her for writing this novel. No one knows better than she the ins and outs of this life, the picturesque and the seamy side, the privations and joys, the defeats and successes. Her pictures of a reporter’s life, divided between Bohemia and the upper circles, of the clubs and haunts of newspaper men, of scenes before and behind the stage, are all fresh, clear and fascinating.”--Philadelphia _Public Ledger_.
