"_The readers of 'Christina North' are not likely to have
forgotten that bright, fresh, picturesque story, nor
will they be slow to welcome so pleasant a companion to
it as this. It abounds in happy touches of description,
of pathos, and insight into the life and passion of true
love._"--STANDARD. "_One of the prettiest and best

a long time._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE.

her._"--GUARDIAN.
PORTRAITS. Second Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
