ASPENWOLD.
The claims of this work to a high place in the front rank of our national literature will be admitted by every reader whose critical abilities enable him to appreciate authorial excellence.
It is written in the form of an autobiography, like the works of Marryatt, and will favorably compare with the best of that popular writer's productions.
It is free from the hackneyed incidents which comprise the principal stock in trade of most of our modern novelists, and is emphatically
A FRESH BOOK
in the ripest sense of that much-abused term.
For its strength and naturalness of description, the reader will be reminded of Cooper; in the flowing style of its narrative, of Marryat; in the earnestness of its thought and diction, of Currer Bell; and in the completeness of its characters, of Charles Dickens.
The power and originality of the work will ensure it a wide sale, and secure a popularity for its author enjoyed by few.
Embellished with a beautiful Frontispiece.
