John Halifax, Gentleman. A Novel. By Miss Mulock. Portrait. 12mo, cloth, gilt top, $1.00.
The book is from the pen of one who combines a careful study of life with a rare genius in depicting its real experiences, and who renders charming even a simple story of actual life, by the glow of a warm and loving heart with which she transfuses it.—Frederick Mynon Cooper.
