1. SOUTHENNAN, A TALE OF THE REIGN of Queen Mary. BY JOHN GALT, Esq. Author of "Lawrie Todd," &c., &c. In 3 vols, post 8vo.
"This new work is illustrative of that period of Scottish history which intervened between the arrival of Queen Mary from France and the murder of Rizzio. The story turns on the attachment of Chatelar to Mary. Among other historical characters introduced are, the Earls of Murray and Morton, who were both afterwards Regents of Scotland."—Courier.
2. LAWRIE TODD; or, THE SETTLERS IN THE WOODS. BY JOHN GALT, Esq. Author of "The Ayrshire Legatees," "The Annals of the Parish," &c. In 3 vols. post 8vo.
"Oh, that all real autobiographies were like this piece of admirable fiction! If we were to express the genuine feelings of delight and admiration with which we have perused this work of Mr. Galt, we should be thought guilty of extravagance. It has impressed us with so high an opinion of his genius, that it would be with hesitation that we placed any other poet or fiction writer above him."—Spectator.
3. WOMEN AS THEY ARE; or THE MANNERS OF THE DAY. A Novel. Second Edition. In 3 vols. small 8vo.
"We may venture to predict, that this production will be frequently resorted to, not only as furnishing a degree of amusement seldom to be met with in books of this class, but as an authentic record of the manners of the Day; particularly of the state of female society at the present time; which we think has never been so thoroughly examined, and so attractively depicted. It is, in the true sense of the word—a lady's book. Some of the comic personifications would not disgrace the author of the School for Scandal."—Literary Gazette.
4. CARWELL; or, CRIME AND SORROW. In 1 vol. post 8vo.
"This new tale of domestic life, which has for its second title 'Crime and Sorrow,' is from the pen of the widow of the late Mr. Thomas Sheridan. The plan of the story is a complete departure from the beaten track of fiction, and involves the rarest eloquence and pathos. The authoress is mother to the Honourable Mrs. Norton, who has lately distinguished herself in the literary world. The family of Sheridan is indeed illustrious for genius."—Sun.
