“Her writings have that originality which wit gives to reality, and wit is the great characteristic of her pages.”--_Bulwer’s New Monthly Magazine._ “Light spirited and clever, the characters are drawn with truth and vigour. Keen in observation, lively in detail, and with a peculiar and piquant style, Mrs. Charles Gore gives to the novel that charm which makes the fascination of the best French memoir writers.”--_London Literary Gazette._ * * * * * In Two Volumes, 12mo. THE STAFF-OFFICER. OR, THE SOLDIER OF FORTUNE. A TALE OF REAL LIFE. “The web of life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together; our virtues would be proud if our faults whipped them not, and our crimes would despair if they were not cherished by our virtues.” BY OLIVER MOORE. “We are prepared to admit that our extracts do not do justice to the work: the writer’s power is in discriminating _female_ character; but as he judiciously makes it develope itself by incident, to illustrate this would require scenes and pages to be transferred to our columns. As a whole, this novel will be read with interest: it is light and pleasant; with many very natural scenes, many excellent and well-drawn characters, and without one line or word of affectation or pretence.”--_Athenæum._ “This is a most entertaining work: it is written with great spirit, elegance, and candour. The delineation of character (particularly that of many distinguished individuals officially connected with Ireland during the Pitt administration) is skilfully and vividly drawn; and the multifarious incidents--several of which are of a highly _piquant_ description--are given with a tact and delicacy creditable to the judgment and talent of the author. We can say with truth, that we have fairly gone through this tale of real life without being cloyed or wearied for a single moment; but that it excited, and kept up, an interest in our minds which few volumes designed for mere amusement have been able to inspire.”--_Brighton Herald._ * * * * * In Two Volumes, 12mo. MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS. “The best novel of the season--a faithful, exact, and withal spirited picture of the aristocracy of this country--an admirable description of what is called high life, and full of a more enlarged knowledge of human nature.”--_Spectator._ “A very lively and amusing panorama of actual life.”--_Lit. Gazette._ * * * * * In one Volume, 12mo. CARWELL, By Mrs. SHERIDAN, Author of “AIMS AND ENDS.” “A story which for minute fidelity to truth, for high tragic conception, both of plot and character, has few equals in modern fiction.”
