Zanoni [Edward Bulwer-Lytt (3)
EurB 12.373 23 The story of Zanoni was one of those
world-fables which is so agreeable to the human imagination that it is
found in some form in the language of every country...
EurB 12.374 1 We read Zanoni with pleasure, because
the magic is natural.
EurB 12.374 14 ...Zanoni pains us and the author
loses our respect, because he speedily betrays that he does not see the

opened his mind to Mr. and Mrs. Ripley, and with some care they invited

constitution.
