Col. Joe Shillington.
England cannot boast Of an authoress equal
to Miss Psrdoe in point of genius, ability and
industry. Her works on the era of Louis the
Fourteenth, occupy high place among the
standard literature of Great Britain, and she
was equally successful in giving faithful
and interesting picture Of the "City of the
Sultan" Admitted, while at Constantinople,
into the secret precincts Of Sersglio point,
and the more charming Harems which border
the Bosphorus, she is not forced to draw
upon her Imagination for a description Of To-
calities,. nor is she at loss in narrating the
indoor life of the degl AIDED Moslems Of her
own sex The recent invasion Of English
and French troops has made sad innov ations
on Mahommedan social life, and this work Of
Miss Pardce has consequently historical
value not often attached to work Of hctisn
The plot is, nevertheless, an ingenious web
Of romance, embroidered with the beauties of
Oriental passion, and deeply interesting
Fetridge d Co., by publishing this sterling
romance, have added to their reputation as
purycyors Of superior order of works for the
