Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Hazard of New Fortunes — Volume 5" by William Dean Howells is the fifth volume of a novel published in 1889. This installment continues the story of Basil March, who moved from Boston to New York to help launch a literary magazine.
