JUSTICE IN THE BY-WAYS.
BY F.C. ADAMS.
_12mo., Cloth, $1.25._
The _Evening Post_ of June 23d says:
"Shortly will be published a new work, entitled 'JUSTICE IN THE
BY-WAYS,' from the pen of F.C. ADAMS, author of the popular anti-slavery
novel 'OUR WORLD.'
"It presents a life-like picture of that peculiar civilization which of
late has so signally blossomed in the ruffianly achievement of Brooks.

"Mr. ADAMS, the author, formerly editor of the _Savannah Georgian_, is
qualified by a residence of five years among the nullifiers of the
Palmetto State to exhibit a correct and graphic likeness of their
society and manners."
This is emphatically a work of our age. Its life is its TRUTH. Its
breath its FACT. It is history in the guise of fiction, history whose
accuracy is attested by public records and State documents. Each
character is a living reality. It is a book eminently suggestive of much
needed moral reforms. It is not sectional. It hits North and South. It
shows the social evils generated by Slavery in the one, and by neglected
poverty in the other. It pictures the follies and vices of worn-out
Southern chivalry; the crimes of the forsaken wretches in the Five
Points; and the sordid sin which luxuriates in our Fifth Avenue palaces.
It portrays how those who the world regard as beacons illuminating the
paths of virtue, grovel in sensuality--sought and loved for its own
sake; whilst the neglected of the world, in their depths of degradation,
yet emit some rays--feeble though they be--of a soul within. In fine, it
teaches the practical lesson that it would become the great to learn how
a true use of their wealth and influence may benefit poor fallen
humanity.
