THE COUNTESS of BLESSINGTON'S
NEW NOVEL,
" STHATHERN; OR, LIFE AT HOME AND ABROAD."
A STORY OF THE PRESENT DAY.
"This novel presents a series of exciting tableaux vtvans of society,
each as no writer of the present day except Lady Blessington has
the courage to paint, and the ability to execute. Her portraitures
are full length ; her dissection of the human heart is scientific and
unsparing. In • Strathern' we have exhibited all those attractive
graces that distinguish the pen of this accomplished novelist. Pathos,
sentiment, romance, wit, humour, satire, ridicule, by turns rule the
Lout."—Morning Post.
