THE

HOUSEHOLD OF BOUVERIE;

OR,

THE ELIXIR OF GOLD.

A Romance,

BY A SOUTHERN LADY.

"For over all there hung a cloud of fear;

A sense of mystery the spirit daunted,
And said as plain as whisper in the ear,

The place is haunted,"

THOMAS HOOD (The Haunted House).

"Dark lowers our fate,

And terrible the storm that gathers o'er us,

But nothing, till that latest agony

That severs thee from nature shall unloose

This fixed and sacred hold, in thy dark prison house,

In the terrific face of armèd law,

Yea, on the scaffold, if it needs must be,

I never will forsake thee."

JOANNA BAILLIE (De Monfort-A Tragedy).

IN TWO VOLUMES.
