"A Noble Woman," is the name of the new novel written by Mrs. Ann S.
Stephens. Its pages are replete with incidents of absorbing interest,
and her admirers will read it with avidity, and with a zest which would
indicate that the freshness and interest of each of her new novels are
still as potent as were her earliest productions. The leading characters
are carried through a series of exciting adventures, all of which are
narrated and drawn out with such ingenuity that the reader's attention
is kept on a tension of interest from the opening page to the close of
the volume. This is the great secret of Mrs. Stephens' success--her
readers cannot get out of her influence. She does not fatigue them with
the subtleties of metaphysics or philosophy. She gives you a thrilling
story, pure and simple, sensational if you please, and she leaves the
whole affair in the hands of her readers, feeling quite secure of a
favorable verdict on every new emanation from her pen. "A Noble Woman"
will prove to be the most popular novel that she has ever written.
