--By M. E. Braddon--Ayres & Wade, Richmond.--We have received this work, which is written by the author of Aurora Floyd, and Lady Audley's Secret two works which have created a in literary circles in England, and have proved so popular that they have been dramatized by some dozen persons, and have had extraordinary fun on the boards of theatres there and in the United States.
The present work is said to be equal to the two named.
The publication of the book is executed with much neatness.
Aurora Floyd.--West & Johnston.
--This is a new work by the author of "Lady Audrey's Secret," which has just been published by Messrs. West & Johnston.
It is what may be termed a thrilling novel, without anything of the yellow cover style about it. It is fully up to the first literary performances of Mrs. Braddon.

Aurora Floyd.
--We have received a copy of this work from Messrs. West & Johnston.
Its author is also author of "Darrell Markham," and other works well known to the public.
The tale is a very simple and, we think, not a very edifying one.
A retired merchant, of great wealth, falls in love with and marries a fourth-rate actress, whose splendid promotion makes her the envy of all the surrounding old maids and gossiping widows, who, having no business of their own to attend to, very charitably fill the void which want of occupation is so certain to occasion in the minds of all persons who possess such a thing as a mind, by taking the affairs of other people under their charge.
In the course of a year or two the lady who has excited so much interest dies, leaving an only child, the heroine who gives her name to the novel, and who from that time becomes the idol of her father.
The heiress of boundless wealth, indulged in every whim and caprice, suffered to learn or not to learn a
