THE HEIRESS OF BELLEFONT.

BY

EMERSON BENNETT.

AUTHOR OF "CLARA MORELAND," "VIOLA," "FORGED WILL," "PIONEER'S DAUGHTER," "BRIDE OF THE WILDERNESS," "KATE CLARENDON," "ELLEN NORBURY," ETC. "Mr. Bennett is a native author of talent, experience and industry, whose novels are always exceedingly popular. Nor are we surprised at his success, after reading the present fiction. The interest of the story begins with the first chapter, and is maintained unabated to the close, ever varying but over absorbing. Like all Mr. Bennett's novels, the moral is an instructive one. To read tales like these cannot be considered a waste of time. The disguise of fiction has been, in all ages, a far more effective way to inculcate lesson of life than dry didactics. We pay what we think the highest possible compliment to Mr. Bennett, when we say, that he makes his novels as useful as they are fascinating."—Evening Bulletin. "Mr. Bennett has already gained a wide popularity through his works before published. He has written several works, the scenes of which have been laid along our western borders, and for delineation of border life and character he has no superior. The story throughout is of deep interest, and conveys a powerful moral lesson. The characters are all lifelike, and drawn with a skillful and brilliant pen. The publisher has issued the book in a handsome style."—Christian Freeman.
