The above novels, by the talented daughter of the late Captain
Marryatt, were written in compliance with the wishes of her father,
expressed a short time previous to his death; and the fair authoress
alludes to this circumstance by way of apology, in the preface
to "Temper." We predict for them a wide spread popularity. They
are original in style, truly moral and religious in tone, and are
calculated to accomplish much good, as the author aims some telling
blows at the tendency of the present generation towards _Infidelity_,
and other modern evils.

Works by the Author of "Zaidee."
ADAM GRAEME OF MOSSGRAY.
12mo. Cloth. Price $1 00.
The characters are painted in bold relief, and seem to live, move
and speak before you. Not one is overdrawn, and yet each comes up to
the popular standard, in point of interest, individualization, and
spirit. The tale is, indeed, "sad, high and working; full of state and
woe;" but it is pleasant enough for all that, and the sober, truthful
earnestness with which it is related, will at once communicate itself
to the mind of the most fastidious and hypercritical peruser of modern
volumes.

MAGDALEN HEPBURN;
A Story of the Scottish Reformation.
12mo. Cloth, Price $1 00.
This charming novel, by the author of "Zaidee," will be welcomed by
all who have had the pleasure of reading the former production. The
quaint originality, the healthy and cheerful religious tone, and
charming simplicity and good sense of this volume, will render it a
general and permanent favorite. A work which will be read as long as
any volume of our time. We know of no fiction, in fact, that we would
sooner recommend; for, while it will fascinate all who merely read
for amusement, it will delight as well as improve those who seek for
something even in a novel. It is fascinating from beginning to ending,
and no reader will lay it down, after perusal, without wishing the
author had extended its pages.
