B. Peterson and Br others. An experienced critic says this novel "must bit the public taste and !be a brilliant success. That it is by a 'new writer, is evident; it ia equally obvious, from the delicacy and force with which tbe plot has been framed and worked out to a legitimate conclusion, con-clusion, as well as from tbe develop-ineut develop-ineut of the respective characters, tbat a young lady is the autbor. It is pure as well us passionate. Moreover, the inc ' .m, sometimrs startling, are put lonelier in a skilful manner, and are all within the legiti mate limit of probability. Thesceue, alternately in Virginia sud in Europe, is alwavs accurately realistic wbetber tbe ae'lien takes placo on a southern estate, or amid fashionable society in London, or (till more difficult to depict) in an earl's ancestral castle in rural England. Nothing can exceed ex-ceed tbe easy grace and truth of the last. Tbe diakgue is at once natural and expressive; and, above all, tbis is, most intensely, a thorough love tale. The hero and heroioe marry in the opening chapter, and if jou would know bow 'A Heart was Twice Won,' do not fail to read this strange, Isentimental and absorbing story. It is just the book to create a sensation, and meet with a warm welcome trom i the public, ii any book will." |
