" will not undertake the invidious task of pointing out the
originals of clever portraits hung up for public exhibition in these
volumes, nor intimate the domestic dramas from which the well-
painted scenes are taken ; they who know aught of the world of ton
will have no difficulty in assigning the likenesses and the pictured
events to their proper prototypes; but we cannot refrain from re-
marking that the author has shown artistic judgment in her admix-
ture of the gay and grave, and that her light colours of satire and
comedy are rendered more effective by contrast with the sombre
hues of sentiment and pathos."—Morning Post.
