Translated, without Abridgment, from the 110th French Edition.
MR. BUTLER'S WARD.
By MABEL ROBINSON.
"A charming book, poetically conceived, and worked out with tenderness and insight."—Athenæum.
"The heroine is a very happy conception, a beautiful creation whose affecting history is treated with much delicacy, sympathy, and command of all that is touching."—Illustrated News.
"'Mr. Butler's Ward' is of exceptional merit and interest as a first novel.... All the characters are new to fiction, and the author is to be congratulated on having made so full and original a haul out of the supposed to be exhausted waters of modern society.... A writer who can at the outset write such admirable sense and transform the results of much minute observation into so pathetic and tender a whole, takes at once a high position."—Graphic.
THE CORSARS; OR, LOVE AND LUCRE.
By JOHN HILL.
Author of "The Waters of Marah," "Sally," &c.
"It is indubitable that Mr. Hill has produced a strong and lively novel, full of story, character, situations, murder, gold mines, excursions, and alarms. The book is so rich in promise that we hope to receive some day from Mr. Hill a romance which will win every vote."—Saturday Review.
