TIME THE AVENGER.—By the author of "Emilia
Wyndham," " The Wilmingtons," &c. This new work
seems likely to command even a greater share of attention
than any of the former productions of this popular author.
We cannot hesitate (says the Critic) to pronounce it the
most substantially 'minable contribution to the highest class
of fiction that has been presented to the public for many
years. It is not a book for the mere novel reader. It ad-
dresses itself to a higher class. It appeals to the intellec-
tual, the reflecting, the pious: it has a lofty purpose, it is not
to be read and thrown aside and forgotten with the novels
of the season, but to be treasured in the library, and perused
again and again as a lesson of virtue taught by example, to
be a profitable recreation for the oppressed with care and
thought, and a study for those whose hearts the world has
hardened."
