" CONFESSIONS OF A PRETTY WOMAN" is the title
which Miss Pardoe, an 'authoress already known a
three
to the
public by several charming productions, has given to
volume novel now on the eve of publication ; and a work

mised revelations, and to create an eager desire to profit by
them amongst, all classes of her Majesty's lieges, where such
privileged culprits aro to be found, it is impossible to con-
ceive. It is reported in the best informed circles that the
title of this attractive book is not more piquant than the
materials of which it is composed.
