" The Shakspeare 'Novels are now generally known and justly ap-
preciated. They are valuable additions to our literature ; and the
two preeeding divisions of the design are rendered doubly valuable
by this completion of it, which carries us on to the close of the bard's
felicitous career. ' The Secret Passion' is fully equal in spirit,
vivacity, and truth of paintin", to its popular predecessors."—Naval
