THE BY THE SAME AUTHOR. DUCHESS EMILIA. A Romance. 16mo. $1.00. "The plot is as weird as one of Hawthorne's wildest, but the picture is wonderfully painted."- The Churchman. "One of the literary events of the season. One of the most striking features of this romance of metempsychosis is the delicate poetic feeling with which he has invested it. The plot is one Hawthorne would have chosen."- The Springfield Republican. "The leading conception is very noble, especially after the hope of redeeming one's self is exchanged for the higher aim to lose one's self in the happiness of others." - The Nation. "It is an original, ingenious, and, in some respects, powerful story; its materials the rich and august elements of Roman life."- The Literary World. "It is an admirable and poetic romance of Rome of forty years ago,the mysterious and semi-feudal Rome of Pope Gregory and his Cardinals, full of rich reminiscences of the ancient papal families, the Barberini, Colonna, and others, and saturated in the dreamy atmosphere of the Campagna in the States of the Church."
