Description

The special charm of 'No Name' is the uncertainty in which the reader is kept.

The most experienced of novel-readers is unable to predict whether Magdalen succeeds in her scheme, or marries Capt.

Kirke, or retires from the scene to die, baffled and broken-hearted.

Each crisis in the progress of the story takes the public by surprise.

The death of the elder Vanstone, the marriage of Magdalen with his son, the trust by which Noel Vanstone prolongs the contest, even after his decease -to quote the word which he himself preferred to the vulgar one of 'death' - are all startling surprises, unpredicted and unforeseen Much higher praise cannot be given.

There is, too, both about Capt. Wragge and Old Mazey, a dry, delicate humour, for which before one should hardly have given Mr. Collins credit. 'No Name' has added to the author's fame and many readers have derived so much pleasure in reading it, that it is hard to speak ungratefully of this book.

Still it is fair to warn the novel-reading public that, if they want really to enjoy the great sensation novel, they should read it at the rate of not more than a chapter a day.
