DIGNAN,

Author of " A-Romance of Liverpool Life ;" with

by Landells.
" We had occasion to speak in warm terms of Mr. Dignan's
Romance of Liverpool Life,' but the present work of fiction
far transcends, in our opinion, the former one."—.4lbion.
" The editorial habits of Mr. Dignan have insured condensa-
tion and a striking brevity of detail, while the hand of the
practised littirateur is to be traced in the clever setting of the
ornaments and the elaborate polish of the entire work."—
Liverpool Journal.

really and truly. The . uty of the book, added to its local
interest, is its origina ' ."—tiverpool Lion.
" Oar practical wledge of Mr. Dignan's talents and style
of composition ' uces us to recommend him to prosecute his
present care n imaginative literature."—European Times.

" The Slave Captin' is written in a graceful, pleasing style ;
the plot of it is interesting and well developed, and the hand
of the practised literary man is to be traced throughout."—
Liverpool Mail.
" Mr. Dignan has displayed all the requirements of a no-
velist ; skill in construction, great power of conception and
delineation of character, combined with perfect purity of taste
and expression. Above all, the morn! conveyed throughout
the work is excellent."—Liverpool Slaudard.
