THE HEIRS
OF
RANDOLPH ABBEY.
A NOVEL.
[From the Dublin University Magazine; edited by CHARLES LEVER.]
Notices of the First Edition.
"The publication of this novel was commenced in the International Magazine, and the portion which there appeared was so much admired by readers, that there was a general expression of regret that it had not been completed before the International was discontinued. It has been reprinted from the Dublin University Magazine, edited by Charles Lever; and although the author's name is not mentioned, we judge from its powerful delineation of human character and passions, that it has not been attributed erroneously to a popular writer. There have been few works of fiction published of late years that can be deemed superior.—Commercial Advertiser.
"In skilfulness of plot, vividness of portraiture, and expressiveness of style, it has not been exceeded by any novel of the season."—Courier & Enquirer.
"It is the ablest and most poweful fiction of the day."—Daily Times.
"This work has created a profound sensation, and would seem to mark the commencement of a new and brilliant career in the world of romantic fiction equal to that of SCOTT himself. We have never read a more vivid or powerful work in this school of writing."—Morn. Star.
"We have seldom read a work of fiction more thrillingly wrought out than this. It is a tale which excites, by its fearful incidents, and enchains by its continuous and sustained power; while the vivid portraitures of individual character are worthy of DICKENS or BULWER."—Home Journal.
