ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES OF THE FORGED WILL! will be sold in a short
time, and it will have a run and popularity second only to Uncle Tom's
Cabin. The Press everywhere are unanimous in its praise, as being one of
the most powerfully written works in the language.
THE FORGED WILL is truly a celebrated work. It has been running through
the columns of the Philadelphia Dollar Newspaper, where it has been
appearing for ten weeks, and has proved itself to be one of the most
popular nouvelettes that has ever appeared in the columns of any
newspaper in this country. Before the fourth paper appeared, the back
numbers, (although several thousand extra of the three former numbers
were printed,) could not be obtained at any price, and the publishers of
the paper were forced to issue a Supplement sheet of the first three
papers of it, for new subscribers to their paper, which induced the
publisher to make an arrangement with the popular author to bring it out
in a beautiful style for the thousands that wish it in book form.
If Emerson Bennett had never written his many delightful and thrilling
stories of border life, of prairie scenes, and Indian warfare, this new
story of the 'Forged Will' would have placed his name on the record as
one of the best of American novelists. The scenes, principally, of this
most captivating novel, are laid in the city of New York; and most
glowingly the author pictures to us how the guilty may, for a time,
escape the justice of the law, but only to feel the heavy hand of
retribution sooner or later; how vice may, for a time, triumph over
virtue, but only for a time; how crime may lie concealed, until its very
security breeds exposure; how true virtue gives way to no temptation,
but bears the ills of life with patience, hoping for a better day, and
rejoices triumphant in the end. In short, from base hypocrisy he tears
the veil that hides its huge deformity, and gives a true picture of life
as it exists in the crowded city. We do cordially recommend this book
for its excellent moral. It is one that should be circulated, for it
_must_ do good.
Price for the complete work, in one volume, in paper cover, Fifty Cents
only; or a finer edition, printed on thicker and better paper, and
handsomely bound in one volume, muslin, gilt, is published for One
Dollar.
