ADVERTISEMENT.
Lady Anne Granard is a domestic story of the present day, and is therefore decidedly different to those captivating romances already given to the world by L. E. L.; but all who have enjoyed personal acquaintance with that highly-gifted lady, will immediately perceive that the story is written in her own peculiar conversational style. It combines a playful and keenly satirical vein, with a good-humoured willingness to escape from her own perception of the ridiculous and the blameable, in order to rest on those recollections of the benevolence she loved, the virtue she venerated, or the poetic sense of all that was excellent and beautiful, with which her spirit was so essentially imbued, and to which her thoughts were constantly habituated. It is necessary, however, to acquaint the reader that the plan and first portion of the work only are the production of the late Mrs. Maclean (L. E. L.). They are the last literary labours of that deeply-lamented lady. The friend who has seen the work through the press, and ventured to conclude the story, so prematurely bereft of its true parent, can only entreat indulgence for her humble efforts, which she believes to be in strict accordance with the intentions of the author.
