tone and
sentiment, its refined and poetic homeliness, and its strokes of quiet
humour. The author may be described as a refined or feminine Galt. In
the pathetic element we are not unfrequently reminded of Wilson's
'Lights and Shadows.'"--Scotsman.

THE MAID OF ORLEANS.

By the Author of "Whitefriars," "Owen Tudor," &c. 3 vols.

are alike powerful and attractive."--Athenaeum.

"A romance of surpassing interest, rarely equalled for vigour,
brilliancy, pathos, and dignity of style."--Weekly Chronicle.

The OLD WORLD and the NEW.

BY MRS. TROLLOPE. 3 vols.

the New' during the eventful epoch out of which we are emerging."--Post.

ROCKINGHAM;
OR, THE YOUNGER BROTHER.

Second Edition. 3 vols.

"We beg to call our readers' attention to 'Rockingham; or, the Younger
Brother,' a book which, from internal evidence, must have been written
by a person constantly mingling in the highest English society. The work
abounds in interest, and, indeed, we should be at a loss to name another
recent novel that shows anything like the same power of painting strong
passion."--Quarterly Review.
