l experience, and, given a nature like that of Mrs. Keith, the consummation is entirely logical. There are many passages of thrilling interest, and, in spite of the painfulness of the theme, the book has a strange fascination.--_Beacon_, Boston. LOVE LETTERS OF A WORLDLY WOMAN. 16mo, Cloth, $1 25. There is abundant cleverness in it.
