NEW MONTHLY VOLUME. THE PARLOUR NOVELIST, A SERIES OF WORKS OF FICTION BY THE MOST CELEBRATED AUTHORS. Under this title, the Publishers are now issuing a series of Tales, Novels, and Romances, by the most distinguished authors. Each work is, with a few exceptions, comprised in one neat duodecimo volume of about 400 pages, a size suitable either for the travelling carriage or the library, and is printed in a style which can bear a comparison with any of the series now in course of publication. The majority of the works selected for publication are either copyright editions, on the purchase of which a considerable sum has been expended, or translations from the French and German languages by competent persons, Keeping in view the style of production, this may be pronounced the cheapest series of novels which has ever been offered to the public. WORKS ALREADY PUBLISHED. TALES BY THE O'HARA FAMILY. Part First. Price 28. sewed, or 2s. 6d. in cloth boards. "This work is perhaps the most powerful altogether of the whole class of Irish novels. * The author is one of the most * masterly painters of national character that has yet appeared in Ireland."- Edinburgh Review. [OVER. NOTICES OF THE PRESS. "The author is truly a man of talent and genius."-Literary Gaz. "No writer has, we think, yet arisen, who has exhibited the great resource of Irish romance with nearly the effect which the author before us has produced. Since the appearance of the earliest and best of the Waverley Novels, nothing in the way of literature has so excited the public mind as the Tales by the O'Hara Family."-New Monthly Magazine.
