By Mrs. GORE. 1 vol. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, 75 cents.
"The "Dean"s Daughter" will doubtless be one of the most successful books of the season. It abounds in all those beauties which have hitherto distinguished Mrs. Gore"s novels. The management of the incidents of the story is as clever, the style is as brilliant, the satire as keen, and the conversation as flowing, as in the best of her works."--_Daily News._
"It will be read with pleasure by thousands."--_Herald._
"Mrs. Gore is perhaps the wittiest of modern novelists. Of all the ladies who in later times have taken in hand the weapon of satire, her blade is certainly the most trenchant. A vapid lord or a purse-proud citizen, a money-hunting woman of fashion or a toad-eater, a _humbug_ in short, male or female, and of whatsoever cast or quality he may be, will find his pretensions well castigated in some one or other of her brilliant pages; while scattered about in many places are pa.s.sages and scenes of infinite tenderness showing that our auth.o.r.ess is not insensible to the gentler qualities of our nature and is mistress of pathos in no common degree."--_Examiner._

=Opinions of the Press.=
We know not where we will find purer morals, or more valuable "life-philosophy," than in the pages of Miss Sewell.--_Savannah Georgian._
The style and character of Miss Sewell"s writings are too well-known to the reading public to need commendation. The present volume will only add to her reputation as an auth.o.r.ess.--_Albany Transcript._
This novel is admirably calculated to inculcate refined moral and religious sentiments.--_Boston Herald._
The interest of the story is well sustained throughout, and it is altogether one of the pleasantest books of the season.--_Syracuse Standard._
Those who have read the former works of this writer, will welcome the appearance of this; it is equal to the best of her preceding novels.--_Savannah Republican._
n.o.ble, beautiful, selfish, hard, and ugly characters appear in it, and each is so drawn as to be felt and estimated as it deserves.--_Commonwealth._
A re-publication of a good English novel. It teaches self-control, charity, and a true estimation of life, by the interesting history of a young girl.--_Hartford Courant._
Katharine Ashton will enhance the reputation already attained, the story and the moral being equally commendable.--_Buffalo Courier._
Like all its predecessors, Katharine Ashton bears the impress of genius, consecrated to the n.o.blest purposes, and should find a welcome in every family circle.--_Banner of the Cross._
No one can be injured by books like this; a great many must be benefited. Few authors have sent so many faultless writings to the press as she has done.--_Worcester Palladium._
The _self-denial_ of the Christian life, in its application to common scenes and circ.u.mstances, is happily ill.u.s.trated in the example of Katharine Ashton, in which there is much to admire and imitate.--_Southern Churchman._
Her present work is an interesting tale of English country life, is written with her usual ability, and is quite free from any offensive parade of her own theological tenets.--_Boston Traveller._
The field in which Miss Sewell labors, seems to be exhaustless, and to yield always a beautiful and a valuable harvest.--_Troy Daily Budget._

MRS. COWDEN CLARKE"S NEW ENGLISH NOVEL.
The Iron Cousin, or Mutual Influence.
BY MARY COWDEN CLARKE,
Author of "THE GIRLHOOD OF SHAKESPEARE"S HEROINES;" the "COMPLETE CONCORDANCE TO SHAKESPEARE," &c.
One handsomely printed volume, large 12mo. over 500 pages. Price $1.25--cloth.
"Mrs. Clarke has given us one of the most delightful novels we have read for many a day, and one which is destined, we doubt not, to be much longer lived than the majority of the books of its cla.s.s. Its chief beauties are a certain freshness in the style in which the incidents are presented to us--a healthful tone pervading it--a completeness in most of the characters--and a truthful power in the descriptions."--_London Times._
"We have found the volume deeply interesting--its characters are well drawn, while its tone and sentiments are well calculated to exert a purifying and enn.o.bling influence upon all who read it."--_Savannah Republican._
"The scene of the book is village life amongst the upper cla.s.s, with village episodes, which seem to have been sketched from the life--there is a primitive simplicity and greatness of heart about some of the characters which keep up the sympathy and interest to the end."--_London Globe._
