Just published, in Three Volumes, post 8vo. 31s. 6d. boards, SIR EDWARD GRAHAM. BY CATHERINE SINCLAIR, AUTHOR OF "THE JOURNEY of life," "THE BUSINESS OF LIFE," "An exceedingly clever gallery of groups from the genteel comedy of ordinary society. The characters of the upright good-natured baronet, and of his diplomatic cousin, that 'splendid specimen of the middle ages,' who manœuvres herself successfully into the position of Lady Graham, are admirably drawn." John Bull. "A novel from this lady's pen comes to us recommended by the ability of her former works, and the popularity of her name. . From the first chapter, in which we are introduced to a somewhat varied group in a ballroom, to the last page, there is nothing to excite our displeasure.

THE author, having for the last three years occupied much of her abundant leisure in a careful study of the best anti-Romanising authors, has thought it possible that the riddlings of all she has read on that subject might be useful to those who, being more unavoidably pre-occupied than herself, are nevertheless liable now, in whatever society they enter, to hear discussions connected with that faith which, depriving men of Holy Scripture, teaches Popish legends instead of Bible truths. Thus a Popish Priest, as he illuminates his altar with candles in the clearest daylight, so does he also prefer the uncertain glimmer of tradition to the glorious effulgence of Scripture,obscuring the rays that come from Heaven, to display the tapers that he kindles himself. On the death of Vincent De Paul, Madame De Sévigné, who knew him well, writes “He an agreeable man-only he cheated at This individual is now a canonized was cards!" * Quarterly Review, No. clxviii. p. 482. |
