    edition has been issued in one volume of Edna Lyall ' s successful novel ' In the Golden Days / The plot treats of the time when Charles the

    from Second end was to king end , an by d th the e country revelations was a of gitated the notorious Dr . Oatesand ib depicts with much

    skill and correct colouring , events supposed to have taken place about that period . In the course of her narrative the authoress introduces

    various historical personages , such as John Evelyn , Sir William and Mary Denham , Algernon SidneyBetterton the actorDrydenand others

    but the , historical element is , always , kept within , bounds and never allowed to obtrude to the detriment of the general interest of the story .

    The account of the loves and misfortunes of Joyce and Hugo Wharnclifle is very pathetically told ; and in the narrative of the latter ' s escape from '

    Newgate we have as exciting an episode as any \ to be found in modern fiction , without anything ; nauseating or unwholesome . Miss Avail's novel
