SECOND EDITION OF ROCKINGHAM;
OR, THE YOUNGER BROTHER.
" Rockingham, from first to last, rivets the reader's attention.
Under the alluring garb of fiction more of wisdom and truth is con-
♦eyed than is often to be met with in works of professedly far more
serious character. The author has studied the female heart with all
the acuteness and accuracy of Miss Edgeworth herself."—Times.
This work abounds in interest. From internal evidence, it must
bave been written by a person constantly mingling in the highest
English society."—Quarterly Review.
