Leila; or, the Siege of Granada.
Calderon; or, the Courtier.
1s. (1855). Large edition, cloth gilt, 2s.
Both these must be regarded as bold and rapid sketches, by a master-hand, rather than elaborate and finished performances of careful art.
Harold.
1s. 6d. (1855). Large edition, cloth gilt, 4s.
So truly national is this work in its spirit, and so replete with interest and value is the information it contains, whether of manners, customs, the origin of various races that people our island, the causes of political events that, however remote, have bequeathed influences which rule us at this day, that the careful perusal of “Harold” becomes almost the duty of every well-instructed Englishman.
Lucretia.
1s. 6d. (1855). Large edition, cloth gilt, 4s.
“Lucretia; or, The Children of Night,” rather errs from the over-exertion of strength. The vigour of its descriptions is not sufficiently restrained by art, and carries terror too far into the regions of pain.
