A ROMANCE.
By MRS. OLIPIL&NT.
OPINIONS OF THE PILESF.
"It is no commonplace compliment, but the honest truth, to
say that It would be difficult to tuenuon any work of a partly
imaginative character, of all those which have been published
within the last few years, which excels it iu brilliancy of dialogue ,
rich descriptive writing, and powerful portraiture of character."-
—Morning Post.
' Zaidee,' however, romance though it avows itself to be, is
at thee saute time so true, so fresh, so sweet from first to lust, as
a representation of the would about us now•a-days—so perfect' ,
so accurately, so distinctly does it portray the various phases of
the social state in England during this feverish core of the
nineteenth century—central point in an age of steam engines
and electric telegraphs—that we conceive it to be altogether, Ls

such, beyond the reach of imitation."—Sun.
" The work combines with the highest ethical standard an
abounding vein of artistic humour in the delineation of hums!'
life, and the quaintness and eccentricity of some of the subor-
dinate characters is no less attractive than the heroic virtue of
those which take the lead in the plot of the story."—John
"The tale of ' Zaidee ' has been up to its close one of the inol
popular with which Blackwood's Magazine, long distinguished
for effective stories, has ever presented its nuntherless readers.'
—Daily Express.
" The tale is admirably toll, and cannot fail to give high rank
to the authoress among the novel-writers of the day."—Edi,
burgh Courant.
