Marshal Val 6 e was at that time Governor-General . He and the Prince Royal went to Constantine , and attempted what was then
thought impossible , to return to Algiers by land . This enterprise aroused great enthusiasm . There is a contemporary account of it , written

From Messrs . Sampson Low , Marston & Co . — * The New Prince Fortunatus , ' by William Black . ( Three volumes . ) Mr . Black _ _ ' s _ latest
. story is concerned v with aristocratic s society and life on the stage . The hero , a * happy-go-lucky ' troubadour , is a young actor of handsome
presence , who takes London by storm , and receives marked attention from a number of titled people . The whirl of a London season
is cleverly described , and the demands which society makes on its favourites are sketched with vividness and skill . After a while the scene
shifts to Scotland ; and this gives Mr . Black an opportunity of describing with even unusual felicity the characteristics of the romantic
scenery of the Highlands . Lionel Moore returns to London violently in love with a lady of rank , who , during his sojourn in the Highlands , has
taught ' Prince Fortunatus' the art of salmonfishing . Up to this point the ' New Prince Fortunatus ' has received so much homageand
even adulation , that he imagines himself to , be irresistible , but he quickly finds his level when he ventures to propose marriage to the lady in
question . He is next entrapped into an engagement with a leading lady at a Lond > n theatre , but speedily pines for liberty under
circumstances which enlist the reader ' s sympathy . A . young Neapolitan girl , Nina , whom Prince Fortunatus had met whilst a student at Naples
is the true heroineand she saves the Prince , from dire disgrace and , wins his deep affection . Nina is the most charming character in the
book , and , though wayward and variable in mood , is full of Southern enthusiasm and radiant in good humour and vivacity . There are some
graphic and amusing pictures of journalistic life in London in the book , and the story throughout is told with practised skill .
