Hugh Wynne, Free Quaker, Sometime Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel on the Staff of His Excellency General Washington

xi, 567 pp. With illustrations by Howard Pyle. "This book should be a favorite with physicians on account of the fact that it was written by one of the guild, so well written indeed that it is destined to take rank with the leading favorites of the past, and it seems at last as if the present generation would have, in the person of Dr. Mitchell, an American novelist worthy of the name. This story is laid in the times of Washington and inside glimpses are given of early Quaker life in Philadelphia, and the names familiar to us in history are handled as familiar contemporary characters."
