A Tale



BY
SIR EDWARD BULWER LYTTON, BART.




               " He that knows most men's manners, must of necessity
          Best know his own, and mend those by example.
                                  . . . . . Pure and strong spirits
Do, like the fire, still covet to fly upward."
                                     The Queen of Corinth, Act 2, Scene 4.
