RANK AND TALENT;
A NOVEL.

BY THE
AUTHOR OF “TRUCKLEBOROUGH-HALL.”

When once he’s made a Lord,

Who’ll be so saucy as to think he can

Be impotent in wisdom?

Cook.

Why, Sir, ’tis neither satire nor moral, but the mere passage of an history; yet there are a sort of discontented creatures, that bear a stingless envy to great ones, and these will wrest the doings of any man to their base malicious appliment.

Marston.

IN THREE VOLUMES.
