THE NEW NOVELS . +. PERVERSION ; or , The Causes and Consequences of Infidelity . A Tale for the Times . In 3-vols . "The tale iscle&igned to illustrate some of the phases of modern infidelity , and in the various characters introduced it is shown how infidelity is developed . Tho description of the college lifo of Archer , and of the influence by which he was led to become an avowed inildel , i s full of instr uction 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 be called 'A Tale for the Times , ' and is tho 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 the writer are well presented with the power of unconscious mastery which his training gives to the scholar ; an unflagging , eftergy sustains the wi Iter from first to last . " —rSaectator . " This work is extremely clever . It is intended to show the different phases that infidelity assumes , and to tr ace the practical result in their different social manifestations . The book is well and temperately written . The story has a touching interest , which lingers with the reader after he has closed the book . There is ho attempt at eloquence or fine writiug ; the style is rigidly simple , but firm and strong . " —A . theiiCBum . 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 fashfonablo lifo are introduced . "—Literary Gazette . " Mrs . Maberly does know something of tho society she undertakes to depict . Her pictures appear to be 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 . " —Cri tic . Ji * Leonora is an astounding character—a Lucrczia Borgia without the poisoning . The story is told with a fearful amount of fascination . " —Dispatch . IIX . BEYMINSTRE . By the Author of " Lena , " " King ' s Cope , " &c . 3 volumes . " We have still some good novel writers left , and among them is the author of ' JBeyminstre . ' The conduct of the story is oxcellent . Many of the subordinate parts are highly comic ; an air of riatunraud life breathes through the whole . It is a work of unusual merit . " —Saturday Review . "There are admirable points in this novel , and grrat breadth of humour in the comic scenes . ' Bcyminstrc' is beyond all comparison tho 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 .
