A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.
By CHARLES WHITEHEAD.
Author of " The Solitary," &c.
" In the trial scene we seem to be present in the court. The
intensity of interest which is excited in the breasts of specta-
tors, when the fate of a fellow being hangs trembling in the ba-
lance, is felt by the reader. The poet, pining in poverty and
Buffeting within the walls of a prison—the death.bed scene of
the gifted but intractably imprudent son of genius—the unna-
tural neglect of his childhood, and the persevering efforts pur-
sued by his depraved Countess-mother to destroy him in after-
life, with the incidental notices of the associates, good and bad,
who shared his pleasures. ministered to his wants, or stimu-
lated his depravities—supply materials which 111 r. Whitehead
has judiciously wrought up to form a most interesting and in-
structive narrative."—Globe.
