Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lord of Creation
The present improving work has the good fortune to appear in a variety of delightful circumstances. First of all, the public are respectfully invited to remember that what may herein be read rippled for a matter of ten weeks through the columns of that excellent journal Tbe Gentlewoman - preceded weekly, however, by a handsome editorial apology which proclaimed to the female nobility and gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, not to say of Britain Beyond the Seas, that the views expressed were but the views of Mr. Crosland, and would at least create comment and amusement. This, of course, was flattery. It is also a statement of fact, calculated, we hope, to throw the polite reader into a reverie. The Jobsonite reviewers too will no doubt make a strong point of it.
