The Lancashire Witches.
BY W. HARRISON AINSWORTH, ESQ.—PRICE 50 CENTS.
“Mr. Ainsworth in this romance has made an excellent use of much profound
and curious knowledge, both of the time and of the scene in which the action
is laid.”
—Examiner.
“Mr. Ainsworth may be styled the Salvator Rosa of novelists. He delights in
the thrilling—the terrible—the wildly romantic. In gorgeous depth of coloring,
in vivid reality of portraiture, in enthralling interest, Mr. Ainsworth's romances
are almost unrivalled. `The Lancashire Witches' excites a powerful and undiminished
interest throughout.”

The Prince; or the Life of an Adventurer.
BY THE AUTHOR OF “VALENTINE VOX.”—50 CENTS.
“It is refreshing to turn from the sentimental kind of novel to this amusing
volume—the appearance of which, at this cheerful season, is so apropos. The
varied fortunes of the hero afforded opportunities of hepicting the phases of life,
both grave and gay. These have not been lost upon the ingenuity of the author,
who alternates touches of pathos and traits of humor, with admirable effect.”
