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.
