1. SOUTHENNAN, A TALE OF THE REIGN of QUEEN MARY. BY JOHN
GALT, Esq. Author of "Lawrie Todd," &c., &c. In 3 vols, post 8vo.
"This new work is illustrative of that period of Scottish history
which intervened between the arrival of Queen Mary from France and the
murder of Rizzio. The story turns on the attachment of Chatelar to
Mary. Among other historical characters introduced are, the Earls of
Murray and Morton, who were both afterwards Regents of
Scotland."--_Courier._
2. LAWRIE TODD; OR, THE SETTLERS IN THE WOODS. BY JOHN GALT, Esq.
Author of "The Ayrshire Legatees," "The Annals of the Parish," &c. In
3 vols. post 8vo.
"Oh, that all real autobiographies were like this piece of admirable
fiction! If we were to express the genuine feelings of delight and
admiration with which we have perused this work of Mr. GALT,
we should be thought guilty of extravagance. It has impressed us with
so high an opinion of his genius, that it would be with hesitation
that we placed any other poet or fiction writer above
him."--_Spectator._
3. WOMEN AS THEY ARE; OR THE MANNERS OF THE DAY. A
NOVEL. Second Edition. In 3 vols. small 8vo.
"We may venture to predict, that this production will be frequently
resorted to, not only as furnishing a degree of amusement seldom to be
met with in books of this class, but as an authentic record of _the
manners of the Day_; particularly of the state of female society at
the present time; which we think has never been so thoroughly
examined, and so attractively depicted. It is, in the true sense of
the word--a lady's book. Some of the comic personifications would not
disgrace the author of the School for Scandal."--_Literary Gazette._
