"As a narrative it possesses the invaluable merit of being intensely interesting ; : and in point < of style , it leaves nothing to be desired , "but , on the contrary , presents much for our admiration . ' DeverelF ia altogether a very superior work of fiction , and those who are not insensible to the charms of this l > raocn of literature will experience much , gratification in its . perusal . ...... Xie story is related with much nervous vigour and dramatic effect , and keeps a firm hold upon the mind throughout the entire tbreo volumes . " JLiiADER . " The character of Deverell is drawn urath mwoh power , and the manner in which the young girl gradually develops her schemes is at once natural and striking . In one respect the book is singular : Its moral ana the illustrations will be approved by the most orthodox and conventional , while they will bo cordially ¦ welcomed by the most advanced 5 and yet again , while the moralist will read with pleasure , the arclinary novelreader will bo drawn on "by that agreeable and "Piwmrl variety—a mystery that he docs not penetrate from the first .
