“But everywhere you see that rarest of all literary beauties, a beautiful mind--an intimate persuasion of the fine and great truths of the human heart--a delicate and quick perception of the lovely and the honest--an intellect that profits by experience, and a disposition which that experience cannot corrupt.”--_The Author of Pelham._ * * * * * In one Volume, 12mo. THE GENTLEMAN IN BLACK. “It is very clever and very entertaining--replete with pleasantry and humour: quite as imaginative as any German diablerie, and far more amusing than most productions of its class. It is a very whimsical and well devised jeu d’esprit.”--_Literary Gazette._ * * * * * In Two Volumes, 12mo. THE INVISIBLE GENTLEMAN. By the Author of “CHARTLEY,” “THE FATALIST,” etc. etc. “It is a novel which may be termed the whimsically supernatural.”--_Athenæum._ “The present narrative is one of the most entertaining fictions we have met with for a long time; the idea is very original, and brought into play with a lively air of truth, which gives a dramatic reality even to the supernatural.”--_Literary Gazette._ “The adventures follow each other with delightful rapidity and variety; occasionally there is a deep and thrilling touch of pathos, which we feel not a bit the less acutely, because the trouble and wo of the parties have originated in the familiar and somewhat laughable act of pulling an ear.”--_Court Magazine._ * * * * * In one Volume, 12mo. LEGENDS AND TALES OF IRELAND BY SAMUEL LOVER. * * * * * In Two Volumes, 12mo. FIVE NIGHTS OF ST. ALBANS. “Some man of talent has taken up the old story of the Wandering Jew, to try what he could make of a new version of it. He has succeeded in composing as pretty a piece of _diablerie_ as ever made candles burn blue at midnight. The horrors of _Der Freizchutz_ are mere child’s play compared with the terrors of the Old Man or the demon Amaimon; and yet all the thinking and talking portion of the book is as shrewd and sharp as the gladiatorial dialogues of Shakspeare’s comedies.”--_Spectator._ “A romance, called the ‘_Five Nights of St. Albans_,’ has just appeared, which combines an extraordinary power of description with an enchaining interest. It is just such a romance as we should imagine Martin, the painter, would write; and, to say the truth, the description of supernatural effects in the book, fall very little short in their operation upon different senses of the magical illusions of the talented artist.”--_John Bull._ * * * * * In Two Volumes, 12mo.
