THE PEER'S DAUGHTERS;

A Novel. By Lady Bulwer Lytton.

She has a vigorous imagination, a lively wit, superior power of eloquence, and skill in the production of dramatic effect: and those characteristics are forcibly developed in the new novel of "The Peer s Daughterso that is now before us. The court of Louis Quinze, with all its gorgeous vice and glittering depravity, and the court of George the Second, in which the vice was unadorned and the depravity undisguised, are reproduced with vivacity and truthfulness, that indicate botha mastery of the subject, and talent of a very graceful and commanding order.-Bell s New Weekly Messenger.
