A novel of absorbing interest.
"This is the novel of the year. The love-making in it is charming
and it is interesting up to the very end. It gives a sad picture of
lives of the men of the present day in our large cities,
particularly in New York and Philadelphia. Like Thackeray's Barry
Lyndon, it is an elaborate study of selfishness."--_The World, New
York._

Princess Sophia-Adelaide.
The deserted daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
"The authoress asserts in the most emphatic way, that she is
Sophia-Adelaide, Princess Royal of England and Duchess of Saxony,
and that she was born in Windsor Castle, on November 21, 1840, that
her father was Prince Albert Edward of Germany, and that her mother
is Queen Victoria. The portrait of the author printed in the volume
bears an unmistakable resemblance to Queen Victoria."--_Minneapolis
Tribune._
