T ADY JANE GREY.
-fa 41 By the Author of
" Royston Gower," " Fair Rosamond," &e.
" Mr. Miller already occupies a high rank among the writers
of historical romance. In the present performance we have,
on the one hand, Edward IV., Lady Jane Grey, Northumber-
land, Suffolk and his Duchess, Guildford, Cecil, and others,
painted with singular fidelity ; and on the other, a being sup-
posed to be possessed of supernatural powers ; Wardour, a lover
of the hapless Lady Jane Grey ; and Amy, her faithful friend,
involved and producing extraordinary effects in the plot which
it has pleased the writer to invent to give a deep dramatic in-
terest to his story, and enable him to introduce his inferior and
general portraits with the costume and manners of the age.
This work does honour to its author. and places him in
the front. rank among the most eminent cultivators of this spe-
cies of literature."— Literary Gazette.
