RANK AND TALENT;

A NOVEL.

BY THE

AUTHOR OF "TRUCKLEBOROUGH-HALL."

When once he's made a Lord,
Who'll be so saucy as to think he can
Be impotent in wisdom? Cook

Why, Sir, 'tis neither satire nor moral, but the mere passage of an history; yet there are a sort of discontented creatures, that bear a stingless envy to great ones, and these will wrest the doings of any man to their base malicious appliment.

Marston.

IN THREE VOLUMES.
