Author of "THE IMPROVISATRICE," "ROMANCE AND REALITY," &c.
"But in prose she lives with us: now sanctifying; now satirizing; now
glittering with the French in their most brilliant court, playing with
diamonds and revelling in wit; then reposing on one of the finest
creations that human _genius ever called into existence--the holy
friendship of Guido and Francesca_. The whole range of modern fiction
offers nothing like the portraiture of these two cousins; it is at
once beautiful and sublime, and yet perfectly natural and true."--_New
Monthly Magazine._
"A sparkling and brilliant performance. The observations on life and
society have all the acuteness of Le Sage."--_Literary Gazette._
"A book of remarkable power and genius; unquestionably superior to any
other production of the present time, with the single exception of the
writings of the author of 'The Last Days of Pompeii.'"--_Examiner._
"A novel it is of beauty, grace, eloquence, noble thoughts, and tender
feelings, such as none but a lady--and a lady of exquisite genius,
too--could write."--_Fraser's Magazine._
