THE DISCIPLINE of LIFE,
A NOVEL.
Rumour—we believe with trutli—attributes this work to the
Lady Emily Podsonby, daughter of the late Earl of Besborough. It
requires, however, no titled name to secure for it extensive circulation.
It is long since we have perused stories so absorbing. We commend
the work to novel readers for its interest, to the literati for its liter-
ary merits, and to readers of all classes for the instructive lessons it
sommunicates."—Morning Herald.
