 A ROMANCE OF PENDLE FOREST, 



OR, 



THE LANCASHIRE WITCHES. 



BY W. HARRISON AINSWORTH, 



Author of "Dies Turpin," "Tower of London." Got Fawzes," " Jbrrt 

 Abershaw," &c., &o. 



Price 50 Cents. 



NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 



Mr. Ainsworth in this romance has made an excellent use of much profound 

 and curious knowledge, both of the time and of the scene in which the action is 

 laid. — London Examiner. 



Mr. Ainsworth jnay be styled the Salvator Rosa of novelists. He delights in 

 the thrilling — the terrible — the wildly rojnantic. In gorgeous depth of coloring, 

 in vivid reality of portraiture, in enthralling interest, Mr. Ainsworth's romances 

 are almost unrivalled. -'A Romance of Pendle Forest" excites a powerful and 

 undiminished interest throughout. — Sun. 



Many persons who have recognized Mr. Ainsworth's great power of fascinat- 

 ing his reader, have, for that very reason, taken occasion to censure him, in that 

 he has availed himself of this talent for exiciting interest to invest with fictitious 

 attractions the exploits of thieves and highwaymen. No such objection can attach 

 to " Pendle Forest." The startling events of the narrative — interesting as they 

 are in a romantic point of view — are doubly valuable as types of the struggle 

 between the principles of good and evil continually carried on in the human 

 heart. — Athenaum. 



THE MISER'S DAUGHTER 



BY W. HARRISON AINSWORTH,

Price 50 Cents. 



NOTICES OF THE PRESS, 



The delineation of such characters as these I consider as very moral instruction 

 to mankind, and a lesson moie demonstrative of the perfect vanity of unused wealth, 

 than has lately t)een presented to the public. — Topham. 



One of the most popular novels which has appeared for a long time. It is of 

 absorbing and enthrallmg interest. — Blackwood's Magazine.
