III.
THE DEAN’S DAUGHTER;
Or, THE DAYS WE LIVE IN.
By Mrs. Gore. 1 vol. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, 75 cents.
“The ‘Dean’s Daughter’ will doubtless be one of the most successful books of the season. It abounds in all those beauties which have hitherto distinguished Mrs. Gore’s novels. The management of the incidents of the story is as clever, the style is as brilliant, the satire as keen, and the conversation as flowing, as in the best of her works.”—Daily News.
“It will be read with pleasure by thousands.”—Herald.
“Mrs. Gore is perhaps the wittiest of modern novelists. Of all the ladies who in later times have taken in hand the weapon of satire, her blade is certainly the most trenchant. A vapid lord or a purse-proud citizen, a money-hunting woman of fashion or a toad-eater, a humbug in short, male or female, and of whatsoever cast or quality he may be, will find his pretensions well castigated in some one or other of her brilliant pages; while scattered about in many places are passages and scenes of infinite tenderness showing that our authoress is not insensible to the gentler qualities of our nature and is mistress of pathos in no common degree.”—Examiner.
“A WORK WHICH BEARS THE IMPRESS OF GENIUS.”
