most successful efforts."--_John Bull._ ADAM GRAEME OF MOSSGRAY. A STORY OF SCOTTISH LIFE. BY THE AUTHOR OF "MARGARET MAITLAND," &C. 3 vols. "A story awakening genuine emotions of interest and delight by its admirable pictures of Scottish life and scenery."--_Post._ "'Adam Graeme' is full of eloquent writing and description. It is an uncommon work, not only in the power of the style, in the eloquence of the digressions, in the interest of the narrative, and in the delineation of character, but in the lessons it teaches."--_Sun._ ANNETTE. A Tale. BY W. F. DEACON. With a Memoir of the Author, by the Hon. Sir T. N. TALFOURD, D.C.L. 3 v. "'Annette' is a stirring tale, and has enough in it of life and interest to keep it for some years to come in request. The prefatory memoir by Sir Thomas Talfourd would be at all times interesting, nor the less so for containing two long letters from Sir Walter Scott to Mr. Deacon, full of gentle far-thinking wisdom."--_Examiner._ MARY SEAHAM. BY MRS. GREY, Author of "The Gambler's Wife," &c. 3 v. "Equal to any former novel by its author."--_Athenaeum._ "A very interesting story."--_Observer._ "An admirable work--a powerfully conceived novel, founded on a plot of high moral and dramatic interest."--_John Bull._ CONFESSIONS OF AN ETONIAN. BY CHARLES ROWCROFT, ESQ, Author of "Tales of the Colonies." &c. 3 v. "The life of an Etonian--his pranks, his follies, his loves, his fortunes, and misfortunes--is here amusingly drawn and happily coloured by an accomplished artist. The work is full of anecdote and lively painting of men and manners."--_Globe._ THE BELLE OF THE VILLAGE. By the Author of "The Old English Gentleman." 3 v. "An admirable story, quite out of the common order in its conception, and highly original in its execution. 'The Belle of the Village' may take its place by the side of 'The Old English Gentleman.'"--_John Bull._ POPULAR WORKS OF FICTION. THE KINNEARS. A SCOTTISH STORY. 3 v. HELEN TALBOT. BY MISS PENNEFATHER. 3 v. "Miss Pennefather has in this work evinced much literary ability. The fashionable circle in which the principal personage of the novel moves is drawn with a bold and graphic pencil. We have no doubt that in Lord Montagu, Sir Reginald Talbot, Lord Ravensdale, and others, those conversant with fashionable life will recognise living acquaintances."--_Globe._ RAVENSCLIFFE. B
