THE GREAT EXPERIMENT,

BY MISS MOLESWORTH,

Author of "The Stumble on the Threshold," &c.

"The Great Experiment, consists in pointing out to the world the evils arising from ill-assorted marriages, and we venture to predict that it will attain a degree of celebrity that will not be surpassed by any other novel in the year 1860.”Globe.

"Lessons of something more valuable than those of worldly wisdom can be gathered from Miss Molesworth's novel. The married may find how to render their state permanently happy -those about to marry, are told with what feelings they should enter upon their new duties, and those who are seeking husbands and wives will do well to study and ponder Miss Molesworth's axioms in the 'The Great Experiment.'"-Guardian "A powerful and correct deleniator of character and an originality of thought and expression.”—Court Journal,

THE HOME AND THE PRIEST,

BY SIGNOR VOLPE.

"It peculiarly illustrates the spirit and motives of the present movement in Italy, especially in exposing, by the force of a personal story, that intolerable, corrupt, and corrupting tyrany, which the Roman priesthood exercises alike over the commonwealth and the home."-Globe.

"The author relies, with reason, upon the universal interest now felt in all that relates to Italy. The work portrays the crimes, intrigues, cruelty and treachery of the tonsured orders, and it is wrought out with considerable skill.”—Athenæum.

"The actual working of the Italian church system is shown not only in relation to the Italian's private home, but in relation also to his country. Sig. Volpe sees no hope for Italy, but in the uprooting of the spiritual as well as temporal dominions of the Pope."-Examiner.

"The machinations of priestcraft, the unscrupulous tendencies of Popery are here laid down with a vigorous and an usurping hand. These volumes afford a broad picture of Italian social and political life."-Dispatch.

"It is admirably written and abounds in vivid representation of strong passion.”—Guardian.

"Actions and feelings are delineated with such truthfulness as give evidence of a remarkable and minute observer of the writings of a woman's heart. It is written for the best purpose a novelist can employ his pen."—Leader.

"" -Advertiser.

66 The best novel of the season." "There is no individual whose history and private experience, if honestly and freely told, would not be interesting, and we can truly say this of the present work."-Express,

MY VILLAGE NEIGHBOURS,

BY MISS G. M. STERNE.

"This Tale will prove a most agreeable companion for the long winter evenings. We have not read anything equal to it since the Publication of Miss Mitford's 'Our Village' which it much resembles."-Scotch Press.

"Miss Sterne writes agreeably and with facility after the fashion of Miss Mitford.' -Athanæum.

"There is a great deal of power in these volumes-the author possesses a very unusual command of language and a rare degree of pathos."-Morning Herald.

The style is rustic, simple and thoroughly entertaining. Miss Sterne is the Great Cousin of Lawrence Sterne the author of "The Sentimental Journey," and bids fair not to diminish the illustrious name she bears.". -Court Journal.

"Contains pleasing sketches of country scenery and agreeable details of the varieties of character proper to such a locality."-Globe.

By HENRY COOKE, Esq.

"A tale of the Vendean war, invested with a new interest. Mr. Cooke has done his part most successfully. His vivid, graphic colouring and well-chosen incidents prove him a master in the art of historical delineation."-Guardian.

"Of Mr. Cooke's share in the work we can speak with deserved approbation."-Press.

"It has the merit of keeping alive the excitement of the reader till the closing page."-Morning Post.
