_THORNd.y.k.e MANOR:_
A Tale of Jacobite Times. By MARY C. ROWSELL. With 6 full-page Ill.u.s.trations by L. LESLIE BROOKE.
Crown 8vo, cloth extra, $125.
Thornd.y.k.e Manor is an old house, near the mouth of the Thames, which is convenient, on account of its secret vaults and situation, as the base of operations in a Jacobite conspiracy. In consequence its owner, a kindly, quiet, book-loving squire, who lives happily with his sister, bright Mistress Amoril, finds himself suddenly involved by a treacherous steward in the closest meshes of the plot. He is conveyed to the Tower, but all difficulties are ultimately overcome, and his innocence is triumphantly proved by his sister. The story, is an excellent representation of English life in the earlier part of the eighteenth century.
"The lifelike characters and agreeable style in which the tale is written will charm youthful readers."--_Leeds Mercury._
