A HISTORICAL •ROMANCE.
OPINIONS OP THE PRESS.

"As a historical rornancist Mr. Warburton takes a first rank, The
present romance possesses r.,11 the value of a history. It Is replete
w th power and interest."—Literary Gazette.

"Certainly no historical tale of great r power has been written
since the time of Sir Walter Scott."—Messenger.
"An autobiography, so historcally correct and naturally written,
that It might be welcomed as a veritable record from the muniment-
room of unconquered Lathom."—lirltannia.
" Never have the civil wars of Lugland been invested with greater
fasc nation or interest than in th present work, and we predict for
it a popularity commensurate with the historical importance of the
events therein so truthfully and so charmingly pourtrayed."—Moru-
ing Herald.

Mr Warburton's' Reginald Hastings' belongs to a high order
of historical romance. The story is told with great dramatic effect—
the characters are delineated with admirable distinctness—society in
those troublesome times is depicted with no less fidelity to truth
than artistic power. The contrast between the high-toned cavalier
and the fanatical pariban is admirably drawn."—John Bull.
