Trevethlan: A Cornish Story. Volume 3 (of 3)
Watson, William Davy
Cornwall (England : County) -- Fiction
"A very pathetic tale--very singular; and so like truth, that
it is difficult to avoid believing that much of the characters
and incidents are taken from life. Though woman is called the
weaker sex, here, in one example, is represented the strongest
passion and the strongest principle, admirably supported. It is
an episode in this work-day world, most interesting, and
touched with a daring and delicate hand. The execution of the
painting is as perfect as the conception. It is a book for the
enjoyment of a feeling heart and vigorous
understanding."--_Blackwood's Magazine._
ROSE, BLANCHE, AND VIOLET.
By G. H. LEWES, Esq.
Author of "Ranthorpe."
"Mr. Lewes takes a high position among our novelists: he
possesses no ordinary insight into the human heart."--_Fraser's
Magazine._
BEAUCHAMP; OR, THE ERROR.
By G. P. R. JAMES, Esq.
"One of Mr. James's most successful tales. It has plenty of
adventure, some pretty bits of landscape, much good-hearted
sentiment: in short, all the elements of variety and
interest."--_Examiner._
SIR THEODORE BROUGHTON
Or, LAUREL WATER.
By G. P. R. JAMES, Esq.
"'Sir Theodore Broughton' is founded upon the case of Donellan,
who was hanged some seventy years ago for poisoning his
brother-in-law. Mr. James has a knowledge of the age, and he
indicates it both in manners and incidents; the persons, also,
are well discriminated."--_Spectator._
ADVENTURES OF AN AIDE-DE-CAMP;
Or, A CAMPAIGN IN CALABRIA.
By JAMES GRANT, Esq.
Author of the "Romance of War; or the Highlanders in Spain."
"Overflowing with adventure--adventure in the camp and in the
chamber, and by the road-side; soldiers' adventures,
travellers' adventures, lovers' adventures, murders and
abductions, battles and sudden deaths, in the romantic land of
Calabria."--_Atlas._
THE GAP OF BARNESMORE:
A Tale of the Irish Highlands, and the Revolution of 1688.
"These volumes are not unworthy of being placed in the same
book-case with those of Sir Walter Scott."--_Morning Post._
THE CONVICT;
A TALE.
By G. P. R. JAMES, Esq.
"The volumes are well filled with incident; the sentiments are
those of a reflective and well-constituted mind; there is a
perpetual flow of invention in the conduct of the story; and it
agreeably combines a spirit of romance with a just delineation
of social life and manners."--_Britannia._
