1s. 6d. Railway Library. Large Edition, cloth gilt, 4s.
“Night and Morning” is the most generally popular of the author’s works; its materials are of a homelier and coarser kind than many of them; but their texture is strong and their hues brilliant. And in proportion as the work dispenses with the more reflective beauties that distinguish “Maltravers,” it gains as an animated and powerful story of human life.
The Pilgrims of the Rhine.
1s. Railway Library. Large Edition, cloth gilt, 2s. 6d.
The loveliest and most fanciful of this varied catalogue of fiction. It gathers together, as into a garland of flowers, the associations, the history, the legends, the romance of the Rhine. Nothing like it, for the comprehension of the poetical aspects of places hallowed by tradition, exists in our language; and its originality is so toned down into familiar sweetness, that it is scarcely detected till we search for some work with which to compare it, and—find none.
Last of the Barons.
2s. Railway Library. Large Edition, cloth gilt, 5s.
The chief attraction of the book is in the brilliant gallery of contemporary portraits—Edward IV.; Henry VI.; the grand, affectionate, wayward, fiery King Maker, the accomplished, able, inconstant Hastings; the portentous youth of Richard of Gloucester, learned and witty, dauntless and aspiring.
Godolphin.
