"One of the best novels lately produced. In several important respects, it

 Illustrated Londmi News. 



"We may confidently predict for it a warm welcome from Miss Braddon's 

 numerous admirers." — Graphic. 



Lost for L'oye ' must be placed high among Miss Braddon's novels. It has a 

 quiet power, which makes it attractive in a high degt:ee."—Scatsma>!.

 admirers, and please that which we hope is a wider pvihlic."— A t/ie^iaum. 



Byron's (Lord) Letters and Journals, 



withNotices of his Life. By Thomas Moore. A Reprint of the 

 OriginalEdition, newly revised, complete in a thick volume of io6opp. , 

 with Twelve fine full-page Plates. Cr. 8vo, cloth extra, gilt, 7j. 6d. 

 "We_ have read this book with the greatest pleasure. Considered merely as a 

 composition, it deserves to be classed among the best specimens of English prose 

 which our age has produced. It contains, indeed, no single passage equal to two 

 or three which we could select from the Life of Sheridan ; but, as a whole, it is 

 immeasurably superior to that work. The style is agreeable, clear, and manly, 

 and, when it rises into eloquence, rises without effort or ostentation. Nor is the 

 matter inferior to the manner. It would be difficult to name a book which exhibits 

 more kindness, fairness, and modesty. It has evidently been written, not for the 

 purpose of showing — what, however, it often shows— how well its author can write, 

 but for the purpose of vindicating, as far as truth will permit, the memory of a cele- 

 brated man who can no longer vindicate himself. Mr. Moore never thrusts himself 

 between Lord Byron and the public. With the strongest temptations to egotism, 

 he has said no more about himself than the subject absolutely required. A great 

 part, indeed the greater part, of these volumes consists of extracts from the Letters 

 and Journals of Lord Byron ; and it is difficult to speak too highly of the skill which 



has been shown in the selection and arrangement It is impossible, on a 



general survey, to deny that the task has been executed with great judgment and 

 great humanity. When we_ consider the Hfe which Lord Byron had led, his petu- 

 lance, his irritability, and his communicativeness, we cannot but admire the dex- 

 terity with which Mr. Moore has contrived to exhibit so much of the character and 

 opinions of his friend, with so little pain to the feelings of the living."— Lord 

 Macaulay, in the Edijtbur^h Review.
