STRINGER & TOWNSEND 



Have just issued a perfect and faithful translation of this powerful and magnificent 

 Romance — a work which the Paris Reviewers assert to have thrown Hugo, Bal- 

 zac, and Sue, in the shade, and which has already taken the reading community 

 here by surprise. 



" This brilliant work is worthy of the reputation of one of the most popular 

 and successful cultivators of fiction. We have done but imperfect justice to the 

 numberless excellencies of this really great work." — Morning Chronicle. 



" Unsurpassed in interest and power by any thing from this author's pen." — 

 Athenaum. 



"One of the greatest works yet written by Dumas, abounding with passages 

 inexpressibly touching in their beautiful simplicity." — Sun.

" Dumas, the great master of historical-romantic portraiture, with equal eru- 

 dition and creative fancy, has here presented to us a living portrait of Louis 15th. 

 This work is truly an epic in prose." — Athenaiim. 



" The author is no coinmon writer — he touches the secret springs of the heart's 

 passions — he enchains our sympathies." — Speciutor.
