"WALTHAM," A Novel.
"We sincerely recommend "Waltham" to the perusal of our readers; and most heartily do we wish success to the "Library of Romance." Many a flower, otherwise "born to blush unseen," will, we trust, be drawn from its obscurity by the spirited undertaking of Mr. Ritchie."—Brighton Herald.
The Fourth Volume, published on the 1st of April, contains
THE STOLEN CHILD, A TALE OF THE TOWN, FOUNDED ON A CERTAIN INTERESTING FACT.
By John Galt, Esq., author of the "Ayrshire Legatees," "Annals of the Parish," "Lawrie Todd," &c.
"The Stolen Child is a most cleverly managed story, with consequences and contrivances worthy a lawyer's brief—we do not think any one ever exceeded Mr. Galt in sketching national portraits—they are preserved as if for a museum of natural curiosities."—Literary Gazette.
"The Autobiography in this volume is equal to Mr. Galt's best days, and even his subordinate characters are worthy to be recorded in the Annals of the Parish."—Athenæum.
