JUST PUBLISHED, SEVENTH THOUSAND, THE UNCLAIMED DAUGHTER: A Mystery of our own day. Small 8vo., with two Coloured The contents of the volume bearing this title are so startling and extraordinary, that, were it not for the testimony of well known and trustworthy persons, the public might be excused for casting the work aside as a tale too improbable to excite the interest which the apparent reality of fiction alone can create. The work is, however, strictly, A NARRATION OF FACTS. A child, bearing the marks of high birth and careful nurture, cast upon the world without a single link to any known residence or locality; A lady, by various indications supposed to be the mother or near relative of the child, murdered before the infant's eyes; A house in flames, and unknown mourners forming a funeral procession carrying the dead no one knows whither ; This child, year after year unsought for and unclaimed ; Are facts that appear rather to belong to the dark ages of history than to an age of peace and civilization; yet, this is a mystery of the present day, and it is in the hope of unravelling its intricacies, of answering the question, "WHO IS SHE?" and of restoring the long lost child to her home, that her story is now made public. The subject of the memoir is now about 19 years of age. Two portraits from life have been given, the one representing the young lady when first discovered as a CHILD, the other as she appears NOW.

"This is a real school-boys' book; a story of school days and school life; and here we have as pleasant and truthful a picture of them as was ever drawn. We heartily commend the story. Boys will eagerly devour it."-Critic, London Literary Journal. "This is a truly Christian volume, comprising the temptations, trials, punishments, and final happy change of views of a young heir, who, ignorant of his responsibilities,-forgetting that riches have cares,-indulges in selfish egotism, arising, not from badness of heart, but from a faulty education, the virtue of selfgovernment being totally neglected. After more than ordinary battle during his young life, Clifton is brought, through Divine grace, to feel a deep sense of duties to be fulfilled, led to ask for strength from above, and 'to trust in the living God."" --Sharpe's London Magazine.
