"Minnie Grey, or the Ancestral Curse," "Stanfield Hall," "The Will and The Way," etc.

Beautifully Illustrated.--Price 50 Cents.

This is a cheap reprint of a truly excellent Novel, that has had a very extensive sale ever since its first appearance, which will continue unabated until every lover of light literature has read the work. Ás a Romance, there is nothing objectionable about it; the most fastidious in these matters might read it with profit to themselves, and having read it, could not fail to recommend its perusal to others. A glance at its welcome pages recalls the pleasure of a first acquaintance with the charming heroine, at the pleasing period when, like spring and summer, girlhood and womanhood are blending, when the sylphlike outline begins to fill, the form becomes round, and the step, without losing its elasticity, firmer-and we earnestly follow her through many trials patiently and heroically borne-through her womanhood and widowhood-until she is united to Henry Beacham, who is as faithful a lover as the long suffering Dobbin in "Vanity Fair. "Amy Lawrence" is emphatically a "Lady's Book," but it has rejoiced the heart of many a hardened old sinner of the sterner sex; for as the General's faithful old adherent, Rigid, observes, speaking of Amy, "she is an Angel; I have not been deceived in her." Neither will you, gentle reader -British Whig.

CRAIGALLAN CASTLE;

OR,

THE STOLEN WILL.

BY MRS. GORE,

Authoress of "Abednego, the Money Lender," Etc.

Price 25 Cents.

This is the title of a new romance from the pen of Mrs. Gore, deservedly esteemed one of the very best writers of the age. We know not that we have ever been so deeply moved by the delineation of fictitious woes, as during our perusal of this heart-melting tale. The interest of the story is based upon the secret marriage of a wealthy young merchant, to a young, innocent, and trusting girl, whom circumstances prevent from ever seeing the father of her child, after the evening of the consummation of her nuptials. Her child, the heir of Craigallan Castle, is thwarted for many years by the machinations of a double-dyed villian, Ludovico, whose hellish schemes are, however, finally frustrated; but not before the youthful heir and his affianced sweetheart pass through perils of the most trying description, which are depicted with matchless force and naturalness. The book is one that must have an immense sale, if merit meets with its deserts.

The Following are some of the Notices of this Wark,

NEW WORKS.-Dr. Valentine's Comic Lectures.-The author of these Lectures is well known throughout the country as a man of a great deal of comic power. He has created a vast amount of amusement in this day, and has at length concluded to give the world the benefit of his series of Lectures-which have provoked so much laughter-in print. The book is well printed, and is embellished with several portraits of the Doctor in his various characters.-Prentice, of the Louisville Journal.

HARRY ASHTON;
ASHTON;

OR,

THE WILL' AND THE WAY.

BY THE AUTHOR OF

"Amy Lawrence," "Stanfield Hall," "Gus Howard," "Minney Grey,” etc.

Beautifully Illustrated.

Price 50 Cents.

This is another new Novel by the gifted author of "Gus Howard," and surpasses in point of ingenuity of intrigue and skillful combination any of this writer's former efforts. It has had immense success in London, where it has run through one of the weekly journals of that city, the circulation of which has been increased many thousands by its great popularity. Whoever has admired the deep interest and dramatic descriptions in "Stanfield Hall," and "Amy Lawrence," must certainly pronounce Harry Ashton to be equally felicitious and effective in these points. The author, without in the least imitating, has strongly reminded us of the wit, gallantry, and adventurous spirit so conspicuous in Lever's works. The work is destined to have a great sale.

A BOOK EQUAL TO MONTE CRISTO.

ELLEN DEVERE;

OR,

THE WAY OF THE WILL.

BY THE AUTHOR OF

"HARRY ASHTON," ETC.,

Containing 194 pages, which is 44 more than is embraced in any rival edition.

Price only 25 Cents.

The romantic character of this remarkable tale, blended with the profusion of incidents, and the powerful descriptive episodes, render it one of the most impressive and agreeable works of fiction that have appeared for many years. All of the tales by Mr. J. F. Smith exhibit a flowing style of description, and a knowledge of life, that one turns to with pleasure, after the ordinary vapidities of the novel press; and in none of his works has he concentrated all of his varied powers with more effect, than in the present romance. There is a charming bien seance observable in many parts of it, that remind us of Dumas; and in the chapters of passions where the heart is under the strong influence of Love, Hate, Revenge or Jealousy, the author far eclipses even the greatest efforts of the famous French novelist.

The present is the ONLY complete and unmutilated edition of this great Work now before the public. Any one can satisfy himself of this fact by examining the various editions in the market. The work now offered contains EIGHTY-TWO chapters, being SIXTEEN chapters MORE than are embraced in any rival edition.

Copies of either of the above justly celebrated works will be sent to any one by return of mail, on the receipt of the price in a letter. Address the letter to the Publishers, and you will then receive the work by return mail, free of Postage. Published and for sale by

A Charming Romance of Domestic Life.

WOMAN'S LIFE;

OR,

THE TRIALS OF CAPRICE.

By Emilie Carlen,

[ocr errors]

AUTHOR OF THE BIRTHRIGHT," "ROSE OF TISLETON," ETC.

Price 50 Cents.

Here is a work whose signal superiority over the every-day contributions to literature will insure it readers by tens of thousands. It is one of those rare productions whose first appearance is the forerunner of another great name in the world of letters. "Waverley" introduced the genius of one destined to command the admiration of his own, and of all subs: quent generations; the "Pickwick Papers" did the same for the illustrious author of "Bleak House ;" and "Woman's Life," will be found to have performed a similar service for Emelie Carlen. The work is a monument of the most sterling genius. It is rich in all the elements of a great work; and while it fascinates by the intensity of its interest, it also commands the admiration of the judgment by the superiority of its finish. The work abounds with incidents of a probable and natural sort-is filled with characters nicely discriminated, and is made the vehicle of a high and noble moral, showing the influence and redeeming powers of character. Miss Carlen writes with a delicacy, purity and vividness, which challenge our highest admiration. Her "Woman's Life" will be regarded as an important event in the history of literature: and the beauty and freshness of its highly interesting pages will insure it an immediate and wide spread popularity.— London Weekly Dispatch.

Such a story as "Woman's Life" could not fail to be welcomed by us. The tale is one which every true novel-reader will thank us for recommending to him.-Athenæum.

There is great interest in the book. Nothing can surpass the fascination of the scenes in which the heroine struggles against a passion to which her heart has entirely surrendered, while her pride would yet stubbornly resist its influence. In many of these scenes the effect is quite charming, reminding us of the love of Miss Milner and Dorriforth, in Mrs. Inchbald's "Simple Story."-Examiner.

A more spirited and interesting novel we have never read; with more of life than any of Miss Bremer's works, possessing the same kind of home interest as that charming roImance, "The Initials," pure in tone, and equally free from exaggerated sentiment and.. stupid commonplace.-Literary World.

Copies of the above justly celebrated work will be sent to any one by return of mail, on the receipt of 50 cents in a letter. Address the letter to the Publishers, and then. receive the work by return of mail, Postage free. GARRETT & CO., Pulishers,
