Gladstone, J. H. (John Hall)
Faraday, Michael, 1791-1867
"_One of her most successful little pieces ... just what a

no preaching or moralizing, and yet the moral coming out most
powerfully, and the whole story not too long, or with the least
appearance of being spun out._"--LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
THE PILLARS OF THE HOUSE; OR, UNDER WODE, UNDER RODE. Second Edition.
Four vols. crown 8vo. 20_s._

sweetness of tone and absorbing interest from first to last has
never been rivalled._"--STANDARD. "_Miss Yonge has certainly added
to her already high reputation by this charming book, which,
although in four volumes, is not a single page too long, but keeps
the reader's attention fixed to the end. Indeed we are only sorry
there is not another volume to come, and part with the Underwood
family with sincere regret._"--COURT CIRCULAR.

the gracefulness, right feeling, and delicate perception which
they have been long accustomed to look for in Miss Yonge's
writings._"--GUARDIAN.
