“THE RIGHT HONOURABLE.” A ROMANCE OF SOCIETY AND POLITICS. By Justin McCarthy, M.P., and Mrs. Campbell-Praed. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; half bound, 75 cents.
“The moral is sound. It is one of duty victoriously achieved though at great cost; and perhaps verisimilitude is not strained by the idealization which imputes to the woman’s superior strength of renunciation and moral stamina the successful passage through the last and most fiery trial. Incidentally there is much bright description of fashionable life and people. Nowhere is there any lack of power or knowledge.”—New York Tribune.

“Miss Warden has surpassed herself in ‘Scheherazade.’ In originality, daring, and startling incident it goes far beyond her previous works.”—London Morning Post.
“Miss Warden has conceived and wrought out a plot of peculiar ingenuity.... We are not aware that any girl exactly like Nouma is to be found within the limits of contemporary fiction. She is entitled to the rank and dignity of a creation.”—London Globe.
“Nouma is a subtle character, far more subtle than anything Dickens ever attempted.... The book is full of real life.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
