THE NEW HISTORICAL NOVEL.
Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols.,
31. AIDS OF HONOUR;
A TALE OF THE COURT OF GEORGE I.
" The Author knows the character of English society of a hundred
years ago, is practised in its memoirs and correspondence, and writes
with spirit and vivacity. We have amusing sketches of the broader
vanities of the times, saunteriags among gay historic haunts on the
banks, of the Thames, and peeps into the first Guelph Court at St.
James. ' Maids of Honour' is a book certainly superior to the run of
its class now-a-days."—Examiner.
