.UNS TER CASTLE.
.JV A TALE OF THE GREAT REBELLION.

By T. J. HEWLETT, M.A.

"The author of ' Peter Priggins,' and 'Parsons and Widows,' has
established a reputation which 'Dunster Castle' will extend and
confirm. The entire work has all the vigour of a master's hand.
The characters are forcibly drawn, with that nice discrimination
which gives prominence and individuality to each. The manners of
the period are well preserved, and the historical incidents are not
overlaid with historical accessories. The death of Hampden is
cleverly connected with the story, and helps to work out its denoue-
ment. Upon the whole we unhesitatingly pronounce Dunster
Castle' not only the best of Mr. Hewlett's novels, but among the
best of modern works of fiction."—John Bull.

Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-strest.
