THE NEW NOVELS . —» TERVERSION ; or , The Causes and Consequences of Infidelity . A Tale for the Times . In 3 vols . " The tale is designed to illustrate some of the phases of modern infidelity , and in , the various characters introduced it is shoWn how infidelity is developed . The description of the college life of Archer , and of the influence by which hp was led to become an avowed infidel , is full of instruction and warning . There are entertaining scenes of life at school , in barracks , at college , among tho Mormons and in what is called the religious world . It really deserves to dp called 'A Tale for the Times , * and is the ablest novel that has appeared for many a day . "—Literary Gazette . " ' Perversion' is powerful as a composition . There is a good deal of matter derived from an observation of society and an interest in the questions of the day ; there is a know ' ledge of life , especially as it exists in schools , the universities , the parish , and the classes connected with education and religion . The thoughts of tho writer are well presented with the power of unconscious mastery which his training gives to the scholar ; an unflagging energy sustains the wi Iter from first to last . "—Spectator . " This work is extremely clever . It is intended to show the different phases that inndelitv _ assumes , and to trace the practical result in their different social manifestations . Tho book is well and temperately written . The story has a touching interest , which lingers with tho reader after lie has closed the book . There is no attempt at eloquence or line writing ; the style is rigidly simple , but firm and strong . " —Athenceum . 11 . LEONORA . By the Hon . Mrs . MABERLY . In 3 volumes . " In the story of ' Leonora' Mrs . Maberly has described the career of an ambitious , beautiful , but unprincipled woman . Many of the scenes are drawn with great skill , and lively sketches of fashionable life are introduced . "—^ Literary Gazette . " Mrs . Maberly does know something of the society she undertakes to depict- Her pictures appear to bo correct ; there is an air of truthfulness about them . Her characters are individuals , not abstractions . Leonora , the heroine , is drawn with more than usual power . "—Critic . " Leonora is an astounding character—a Lucrezia Borgia without the poisoning . Tho story is told with a fearful amount of fascination . "—Dispatch . III . BEYMINSTRE . By the Author of " Lena , " " King's Cope , " & c . 3 volumes . " We have still some good novel writers left , and among them is tho author of * Beyminstre . ' The conduct of the story is excellent . Many of the subordinate parts are highly comic ; an air of nature and life breathes through the whole . It is a work of unusual merit . " —Saturday Review . " There are admirable points in this novel , and great breadth of humour in the comic scenes . Boyrainstre' is beyond all comparison the best work by the author . "Daily News . " The characters are interesting , the plot possesses originality , the dialogue a great deal of spirit and liveliness , and the interest is maintained to the end . "—Sun . " There is not a dull page in tho work . " — Globe . London : Smith , Elder aud Co ., 05 , Coruhill .
