JUST PUBLISHED, SEVENTH THOUSAND, THE UNCLAIMED DAUGHTER; A MYSTERY OF OUR OWN DAY. Small 8vo., with two Coloured Portraits, elegant cloth, price 3s. 6d. 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. "To the charms of romance, this tale adds the excitement of reality. The 'Unclaimed Daughter' is not a mere creature of imagination, bat is a LIVING HEROINE of an affecting story, whose strange eventful career is authenticated by persons of unimpeachable integrity.". "-Globe. "The 'Unclaimed Daughter' is published with the hope that the facts made known may lead to the discovery of the forsaken child's parents, and unravel the secret of her birth. There is an Appendix of documents attesting the character of the chief agents in the narrative, &c."-Illustrated London News. "A literal narration of facts, the most extraordinary and startling that we ever recollect perusing." "-Kentish Gazette. "A remarkable story."-Critic, London Literary Journal. "A truthful history."-Morning Advertiser. "I shall be most happy to bear testimony to the truth of the history of the 'LOST CHILD;' and this I am enabled to do, not only from my long acquaintance with her protectress, and my entire reliance on her integrity and truth, but from the fact of the child being brought to me immediately after it was found, and my being made acquainted with all the circumstances of the case."-From Sir Philip Crampton, of Dublin, M.D., F.R.S., Surgeon-General to the Forces, and Surgeon in Ordinary to Her Majesty in Ireland.

The Family of Glencarra' is sure to be a favorite."-Christian Times.

"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.
