1. FLIRTATION. Third Edition. In 3 vols. post 8vo. 1l. 11s. 6d.
“Flirtation” is not merely the title, but the prevailing genius of this
novel; as indeed it ought to be. The noble authoress follows her
subject, and never wanders from it; every incident is metamorphosed into
it. How redolent of flirtation is every chapter! What an entireness of
subject pervades every line! Flirtation on the part of men; flirtation
on the part of women; flirtation abroad; flirtation at home; flirtation
in low life, and in high life; flirtation among the single, and among
the married; private flirtation, and public flirtation; and many phases
more than we have room to enumerate of the same vice. If this picture
should fail in reforming the male coquets who indulge in it, we
entertain confident hopes that the fair will listen to her Ladyship’s
exhortations, and be taught to renounce so dangerous a pastime.”—NEW
MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

“A complete gentleman, who, according to Sir Fopling, ought to dress
well, dance well, fence well, have a genius for love-letters, and an
agreeable voice for a chamber.”—ETHERAGE.
3. AT HOME. By the Author of “ENGLISH FASHIONABLES ABROAD.” 3 vols. post
8vo. 1l. 11s. 6d.
4, ENGLISH FASHIONABLES ABROAD. In 3 vols. post 8vo. 1_l_. 11s. 6d.
“In the article of young ladies, unlike all other national manufactures,
our exports considerably exceed our imports. Gentlemen may travel to
study laws and politics, artists may travel to improve themselves, but
few girls leave their home, except on speculation.”—INTRODUCTION.
