Our Detachment. By Katherlne King, 

 Author of ' ' The Queen of the Regiment, " 



"This new production of an authoress who has already attained the 

 highest reputation from those who have a love for the best kinds of 

 reading will add to her fame, and we recommend ' Our Detachment ' as 

 a vigorous novel that ought to be on every drawing-room table. The 

 characters are most artistically drawn, the language is full of graphic 

 power and pathos. The plot is a charming one, exquisitely told, and 

 every page is conspicuous for taste and literary culture." — Court 

 Journal. (355)
