TEN THOUSAND A-YEAR. 



BY THE AUTHOR OF 



DIARY OF A LATE PHYSICIAN." 

 Complete in 1 vol. 8vo. 



" We have more than once alluded to this remarkable story since the 

 commencement of its publication in Black wood's Magazine, as one of the 

 most interesting and powerfully written fictions in the English language. 

 It is by Samuef Warren, LL.D. author of ' Passages from the Diary of a late 

 Physician, 1 and portions of it equal the best scenes in those celebrated 

 sketches. The object of the writer is, apparently, to exhibit in the strongest 

 possible light, the inherent superiority of the aristocrat to the plebeian ; and 

 for this purpose he translates his hero, Tittlebat Titmouse, from behind the 

 counter of Dowlas, Tagrag &, Co., shopkeepers in London, into the proprie- 

 torship of an estate, yielding ' ten thousand a-year,' where he enacts such 

 extravagances as might be expected from an ignorant and base-born mil- 

 lionaire. Contrasted with Tittlebat Titmouse, is Mr. Aubrey, a man of ho- 

 nour, education, and refinement, who, in yielding to his successful adver- 

 sary all his property, and the influence thereto pertaining, preserves his 

 high character, and remains the ' perfect pattern of a true gentleman.' The 

 characters are admirably drawn, and well supported, though some of them 

 are doubtless caricatures of the classes they are said to represent," JVew 

 Yorker. 



" The grandest story of the age." 



a Whoever has within him a sympathy for the pure and good whoever 

 would feel his better nature elevated, and his belief in the generous and 

 noble feelings of the human heart strengthened, let him read ' Ten Thou- 

 sand a- Year.' "

" This differs from most of the American works on gardening, in being an 

 original composition from beginning to end. It is most judiciously adapted 

 to the country in which it is published ; and the author, R. Cuist, of Phila- 

 delphia, ia one of the best cultivators in the United States. There is no 

 American work that we know of, at all to be compared with it in point of 

 usefulness." London's Gardener's Magazine.
