TWO OLD MEN'S TALES:

THE DEFORMED

AND

THE ADMIRAL'S DAUGHTER.

"Two Tales of a remarkable character, displaying striking talent, a profound anatomy of human emotions, nervous, eloquent, and fearfully distinct.Atlas..

"Upon us the impression of these Tales was such as we recollect to have received from the novels which we stole and secretly read, in the days of our boyhood: we found them interesting and affecting to a degree which made us begin again to think the serious occupations of life weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable. With that power by which the writer can reach the heart of the reader, it is plain that this author is eminently endowed."- Quarterly Review.
