THE BRIDE OF THE WILDERNESS.

BY

EMERSON BENNETT.

AUTHOR OF "CLARA MORELAND," "THE FORGED WILL," "THE PIONEER'S DAUGHTER," "WALDE-WARREN," "VIOLA," "KATE CLARENDON," ETC., ETC."We must pronounce this superior to anything we have yet seen from the pen of Mr. Bennett. As a writer of western romance, he has no superior. The plot is well laid, and the characters are admirably sustained throughout. There are no dull, prosy chapters, where the interest lags, or the reader turns the pages carelessly with a yawn and a stretch, in search of the next dialogue. Those who are familiar with the fascinating pen of Bennett, love to follow him out into the wild and gorgeous scenery of the west, for there he is in his element. On the boundless prairie, diamonded with sparkling dew, bathed in the radiance of a summer sunset, or swept by the wild, bursting tempest; in the grand old forest, and the ragged mountain defile, he is at home, and there the reader loves to wander with him. In his description of the Indian character, the author is hard to excel. Mr. Bennett has a host of admirers, and we are sure the present work will not disappoint any expectations they may have formed from the announcement of a new work from his pen.—Literary Gazette.
