EUGENE SUE'S "DE ROMAN;
Or, THE COURT CONSPIRATOR."
An Historical Romance.
" This work is perhaps the best of Eugene Sue's productions.
There is no class of readers, even the highest and most cultivated,
who may net derive both amusement and instruction from it as an
illustration of historical truth; while, on the other hand, its vivid
Tainting, its wild and exciting incidents, the vigour and verisimilitude
cf its delineations of human character, and the rapid movement and
told simplicity of its style, give it a peculiar charm for those who
*eels, in works of this nature, the mere excitement of the moment."
