EMILIA WYNDHAM. —A cheap edition of this
charming work, price 6s. bound, has just appeared, as
the new volume of " Colburn's Standard Novels," and: it
will doubtless
be considered one cf the most attractive of
this popular series. " Let no one (says the John Bull)
who wishes to read a work of fiction with the stamp of
genius upon it hesitate in procuring Emilia Wyndham.'
This novel
has the merit of rivetting the attention, rous-
ing the feelings, and creating an interest that never flags.
It is a tale of domestic life; all the incidents are inci-
dents of the fireside, all the characters are characters of
home;
and they form a living group in the memory of
the readrThe author has considerable humour, ap-
proaching that of Moliere or Addison, while his dialogue
e.
is essentially dramatic and full of vigour. A lofty moral
tone pervades the whole, which is enforced by a style at
once powerful, rapid, and graceful."
