1s. 6d. Railway Library. Large Edition, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.
“Pelham” is at once the most finished as a narrative, the most vigorous in execution, and taking its exuberant wit and daring originality into account, it must be considered as the most decided indication of what is rather felt than defined by the word genius.
Paul Clifford.
1s. 6d. Railway Library. Large Edition, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.
“Paul Clifford” is a work sui generis. It is a political and social satire worked out through the gravest agencies;—in form, a burlesque—in essentials, a tragedy.
Eugene Aram.
1s. 6d. Railway Library. Large Edition, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.
“Eugene Aram” attests an immense progress in the resources of art in fiction; it grasps the materials of terror and pity with a master’s hand, and connects them with all the gradual progress of the drama, into tragic completeness.
