H. SouTHwoRTH. Complete in oae large
volume, neatly bound ia cloth, for One Doll
lar and Twenty-Five Cents or two volumes,
paper cover, for One Dollar
This work will prove to be the most attrac-
tive one ever written BY Mrs. Southworih, for
she is exceled by no living female writer
Whoever reads the first page, is sure to be
carried on TO the last. Her style is free from
inspdi.y on one hand, and bombast on the
other and though we meet with forcibie, we
are never startled With inflated language. Her
characters are rarely under, bat never over
drawn. Her scenes are life pictures, her inc-
dents founded on facts, and her sentiments are
characterized by singular purity both ofconcep-
ton and expression. 10 short, she possesses in
an eminent degree those qualifications which are
the peculiar characteristics ofa good and great
writer; while she delights the readers imagina-
ton with her descriptive beauty, she applies
home truths to his understanding with the force
OF rational conviction. The 'Lady OF the Isle"
will be pronounced by all those who examine
it, to be her best work. This is sufficient to
commend it to perusal by all, aad We anticipate
for ta large sale and unvepled popularity.

say nothing whatever about him, leaving him
