THE LIFE
OF
LADY JANE GREY.
BY D. W. BARTLETT.
In One Volume, 298 pp. 16mo. Price 75 Cents.
Few women have ever lived whose unfortunate history
has more deeply enlisted the sympathies of the world than that of
Lady Jane Grey. The beauty of her person, the activity of her mind,
the sweetness of her temper, and the purity of her character, were
alike subjects of universal praise. That one so brilliant, so lovely, and
so pure, should have fallen by the ax of the executioner, excites, even
at this day, in all readers, a thrill of horror. Her history is peculiarly
interesting, and embodies the story of one of the most charming heroines
of history.
Her melancholy fate will ever constitute one of the most
striking illustrations of the cruelty, the madness and folly of religious
bigotry and persecution, and of the recklessness of unscrupulous political
ambition.

most interesting portions of English history.

A judicious biography of one of the most charming heroines of history.

Herald.
Mr. Bartlett always writes well, and he sustains his high reputation in this work, which
is well set off by the publishers.

A very readable book.

We could wish that this volume might find a place in every young lady's library, to
the displacement of some of the pernicious novels of the day.
—Albany Courier.
Very well written, and certainly worthy of becoming widely known.
—Arthur's Home
Gazette.
His chapters and sentences are symmetrically constructed, while his ready perception
appropriates all the points of interest in his subject, and rejects that which is irrelevant
or not authentic.
—Hartford Times.
An easy, graceful writer, he seldom fails to add interest to the subject on which he
writes
—Christian Secretary.
