FRIENDS AND FORTUNE;

A MORAL TALE.

BY ANNE HARRIET DRURY.

One volume 12 mo. paper cover 50 cents, cloth 75 cents.

“It is a tale delightfully told, and abounding in passages of great feeling and beauty. Again we are reminded of Goldsmith, and that which reminds us in a right sense of the “Vicar of Wakefield” must be a production of no mean order.”—Literary Gazette.

“Life, motion, delicacy, and humor are to be found in Miss Drury’s Tale.”—Atheneum.

GRACE LESLIE;

A TALE.

From the last London Edition. One volume 12mo., cloth 75 cents.

“Simplicity is the charm of this story. It can scarcely be said to have a plot. The tale embraces the history of a month in the life of a young girl suddenly thrown into society, and for young people it was originally written. It has been generally popular, however, for every thing in it is natural. There is neither sameness nor tameness in the narrative; the characters are numerous, and each is kept distinct. Moreover, the moral of the story is unexceptionable.”—Com. Adv.
