THE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE.
This day, in 3 vols. post Bvo.,
SHAK SPEAR E
AND HIS FRIENDS;
OR, THE GOLDEN AGE OF MERRY ENGLAND.
44 We have been better pleased with this work than with any we
have met with for a lona. time.- The ground upon which the
Author has ventured is 'fearfully full of difficulties, but he has
threaded his way with considerable skill. Shakspeare, Burbage,
Ben Jonson, Sir W. Raleigh, Lord Burghley, Elizabeth, are
brought in vivid portraiture before us; the generous disposition,
ready wit, and noble bearing of the immortal poet, being pic-
tured with rare success. There are few scenes, even in Scott,
more powerful than the one between the miser Gregory Vellum,
and his would-be murderers ; whilst for practical fun and reckless
humour we would introduce Harry Daring as a capital specimen of
a right mischievous, but right brave youngster. The adventures
of Sir Walter Raleigh are skilfully interwoven with the plot.—
Age.
