Notes: "The Publishers have great satisfaction in issuing a cheap edition of the Lady Catherine [sic] Long's "Sir Roland Ashton."  They have been induced to add this well-known and valuable work to their list of publications, in the full conviction that the talent it displays, no less than the prinicples [sic] it inculcates, will secure for it a popularity quite as extensive as that which has been accorded to Miss Wetherell's "Queechy." and the "Wide, Wide World;"--works which have equally won their way in public estimation on both sides of the Atlantic.  The Publishers feel assured, indeed, that "Sir Roland Ashton" will become even more popular than Miss Wetherell's tales, not merely because the authoress is a native of England, but because she has evinced talent of the highest order, and a disposition to advance the moral, intellectual, and religious character of society."--Notice to the Reader.
