English fiction -- 19th century
ADELA CATHCART. By George MacDonald, M.A., Author of "David Elginbrod,"
&c. 3 vols.
"'Adela Cathcart' is a delightful book. Written in purest
English, quaint, sparkling, and graceful, anon delighting us
with flashes of humour, or winning us with true and subtle
pathos, it may at once take up its position among the
masterpieces of modern English fiction."--_Sunday Times._
DR. JACOB. By the Author of "John and I."
"There is much freshness and originality of conception about
this book. Fraulein Fink, with her school and her literary
tattle, the chaplain and his family, the professors and the
thousand and one little touches which make up the picture of
every-day easy genial life in Germany, have much of the
picturesque force and vivid reality of 'Villette.'"--_Saturday
Review._
PECULIAR. A TALE OF THE GREAT TRANSITION. Edited by William Howitt. 3
vols.
"Since Mrs. Stowe's 'Uncle Tom' we have had no tale of a
similar nature so true, so life-like, till the present
publication of 'Peculiar.'"--_Observer._
BARBARA'S HISTORY. By Amelia B. Edwards. Second Edition.
"It is not often that we light upon a new novel of so much
merit and interest as 'Barbara's History.' It is a work
conspicuous beyond the average for taste and literary culture,
and felicitous in its delineation of some very delicate and
refined shades of character. It is a very graceful and charming
book, with a well-managed story, clearly-cut characters, and
sentiments expressed with an exquisite elocution. The dialogues
especially sparkle with repartee. It is a book which the world
will like, and which those who commence it will care to finish.
This is high praise of a work of art, and so we intend
it."--_The Times._
"If Miss Edwards goes on writing such stories as 'Barbara's
History,' she will on some bright day of a lucky season wake up
and find herself famous. Miss Edwards has qualities superior to
mere literary facility; she has humour, insight into character,
and an extensive knowledge of books. We give her full credit
for having written a thoroughly-readable and deeply-interesting
novel."--_Athenæum._
WILDFIRE. By Walter Thornbury. 3 vols.
"An excellent tale, imbued with the strongest
interest."--_Daily News._
