Disowned.
1s. 6d. (1855). Large Edition, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.
The “Disowned,” with a more defective narrative and less sparkling diction, gives glimpses of a much loftier tone of mind, of greater capacities for pathos, of grander ideals of human character and the nobler aims of human life. Perhaps a finer picture of the Christian Stoic than is given to us in the effigies of the principal hero in the “Disowned,” Algernon Mordaunt, is not to be found in prose fiction.
