The novelty and interest of this cxtraor.
dinMy publication may be Judged from the
fact, that il is mn undisguiscd revelation of
the Authors Courtship of Miss Gamble, tie
great American hvrcss, and is full of The
most romantic and amusing scenes and in
cidcnt, win1ing up with the Authors deten-
tion in IN ltaIian prison. The distinguish
ed persons, both Of Europe and the United
States, who took part 10 this exciting and
mysterious drama, a'e all brought forward
with their private correspondence. The in
credible and piqucnt deveIopements of this
lively book must create deep sensation
and command mn unprecedented sale. The
painful necessity of this erpoSe will be ad.
mtted by all, when they come to see that
both the British Government as well as the

Author except by offers Of money, which bc
repeatedly nd scOrnfully refused.
