_FIFTIETH THOUSAND._
"A book by Mrs. Wood is sure to be a good one, and no one who opens

be disappointed. The keen analysis of character, and the admirable
management of the plot, alike attest the clever novelist."--JOHN BULL.

170 "Todhetly" changed to "Todhetley" (from Mr. Todhetley. That was)
188 "bank-notes" changed to "bank-note" (the bank-note did not turn
up)
223 "by-and-bye" changed to "by-and-by" (would join them by-and-by.)

284 "I" added (Section header)
324 "an" changed to "as" (give up Tom Rivers also, as you will)
