THE NEW NOVEL.
•
Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols.,
LUCILLE BELMONT.
A NOVEL.
"A new star has made Its appearance in the heaven of Invention.
The reader of 'Lucille Belmont' will rise from the perusal delighted
with an eloquent history of human feelings, human sufferings, and
human weaknesses, charmingly epitomised in a most romantic tale of
love. The navel abounds, too, in graphic descriptiois of high and of-
ficial society, In vigorous sketches of distinguished statesmen, and in
life-like portraits of eminent persons in the world of fashion, politics,
and literary eminence, whom our readers would recognise at first
sight. With regard to the question of the authorship of `Lucille
Belmont,' we are certain that the writer is a man of extensive poli-
tical and diplomatic knowledge, and of exalted station, a poet, a
philosopher, and a man of the world."—Morning Post.
