OLD S SteeAl Nl by Fran
Tklin,
PAUL'S:
A TALE of the PLAGUE and the FIRE.
By W. HARRISON AINSWORTH, Esq.
IS NOW READY.
" We are glad to meet Mr. Ainsworth again in the region
of historical romance, a department of literature in which he
has already distinguished himself above every author of the
day. A better subject than that which he has chosen for his
present volumes could not have been selected. It is replete
with ihcidents of the most varied, striking, and affecting cha-
racter. These Mr. Ainsworth has turned to the account which
every reader of his former works must have been prepared to
expect. He has interwoven historical facts into a web of most
pleasing fiction, thereby investing history herself with new at-
tractions. Many passages remind us of the simple pathos and
truthfulness of Defoe. "—Observer.
