BY MARY HOWITT.
Three Vols.
THE COST OF CAERGWYN.
A STORY OF LIFE IN WALES.
“A story that must live and increase in popularity as its great merits become known.... Mrs. Howitt has done for the Principality what Scott and Lever have done for the sister kingdoms.”—Daily News.
“To construct a novel of a powerful and sustained interest, demands very high and exceptional qualities, which Mrs. Howitt was known to possess, but has never exhibited them to so much advantage as in ‘The Cost of Caergwyn.’ Simeon Hughs is a real creation.”—Standard.
“Enriched from first to last by the grace of writing, and the far nobler grace of Christian earnestness, that are sure to be found in everything penned by Mary Howitt.”—Examiner.
“Mrs. Howitt makes you live amongst Welsh scenery and people by the marvellous fidelity of her descriptions, and the life-like reality of her sketches.”—Sun.
“The tale is one of unabated interest. It is one of the happiest descriptions of Welsh life and manners that we ever came across.”—John Bull.
“It is delightfully written. Its pictures of Welsh exteriors and interiors are wonderfully life-like.”—Sunday Times.
