THE MIDSUMMER MEDLEY. 

 A Series of Comic Tales and Sketches. By the 

 Author of " Brambletye House," " Gaieties and 

 Gravities," &c. &c. In 2 vols, small. 8vo. 



" The Rejected Addresses were filled with good tem- 

 pered mimicry of the living poets. In the ' Midsum- 

 mer Medley/ the author has given specimens of the 

 different styles of a more popular race, — the living No- 

 velists. The imitations are inexpressibly ludicrous, and 

 the work we have no doubt will be universally re- 

 lished." — Sun. 



XLI. 



CARWELL ; or Crime and Sorrow. In 1 

 vol. post 8vo. 



" This new tale of domestic life is from the pen of 

 the widow of the late Mr. Thomas Sheridan. The 

 plan of the story is a complete departure from the bea- 

 ten track of fiction, and involves the rarest eloquence 

 and pathos. The authoress is mother to the Honourable 

 Mrs. Norton, who has lately distinguished herself in the 

 literary world. The family of Sheridan is indeed illus- 

 trious for genius."— Sun.

 rican, and Australian, form the groundwork of a series 

 of interesting Tales, worthy of the clever author."—

 of novel reading seek in vain among works of a similar 

 class in the present day. The style of the work is va- 

 rious and spirited, the characters extremely original, 

 and the moral as honourable to the writer as that of the 

 distinguished work which probably formed his model."

" A work of unusual interest and attraction." — 

 Courier. 



" Of this we are sure, that five pages of it contain 

 more vigorous talent and literary power than any 

 three volumes which have recently become fashionable. 

 It is pathetic, characteristic, ludicrous, poetical, histo- 

 rical, &c. The narrative of the occurrences of the French 

 revolution, in which the hero himself is made to be a 

 principal actor, is the very perfection of literary paint- 

 ing." John Bull.
