NIODERN SOCIETY in ROME.
By J R. BETE, Esq., Author of " The Wabash."

"Air. Reste's novel, which is not without interest, is made the
more valuable as a book by the abundance of the social and political
information contained in it. The book mainly calls attention to the
inner political life of Rome. It abounds in anecdote and incident,
told as certain knowledge."—Examiner.
"This work is singularly interesting. It contains striking narra-
tives of most of the principal events that occurred from the acc,s-
sion of Pio Nono to the occupation of Rome by the French, with
spirited and truthful sketches of the leading characters who took
part in the politics of that memorable period."—Literary Gazette.
