MISTRESS BEATRICE COPE:
Or, PASSAGES IN THE LIFE OF A JACOBITE'S DAUGHTER.
By M. E. Le Clerc.
"This is a new one-volume edition of one of the prettiest stories that has been written for a long time. It has all the charm and glamour of the most romantic and heroic period of English history yet it never for an instant oversteps the limit of sober fact and probability in the way which mars, so many romantic stories. The tone of the book is absolutely fair and just, and so good qualities of both parties are done justice to. Not that politics as such do more than form a background for the sweet figure of Mistress Beatrice, one of the simplest, most charming, tender, and heroic maidens of fiction. It is a good story well and dramatically told, which gives a life-like picture of the end of the most stirring and heroic period of our national history."—Queen.
