LILY. A Novel.
BY THE AUTHOR OF "THE BUSY MOMENTS OF AN IDLE WOMAN." "She was not very beautiful, if it be beauty's test To match a classic model when perfectly at rest; * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Said I she was not beautiful? Her eyes upon your sight Broke with the lambent purity of planetary light." N. P. WILLIS.
