Author Description

BUNGAY CASTLE: A NOVEL. BY MRS. BONHOTE. Author of the Parental Monitor, &c. In Two Volumes Astonished at the voice he stood amaz'd, And all around with inward horror gaz'd. Bungay Castle, a Gothic novel written by Elizabeth Bonhote. This is a faithful transcription of the original 1796 printing of this novel. All archaic words, alternative spellings, and inconsistencies of grammatical form and fashion, have been preserved. Castle-Building appears to have been the passion of all ages; while some have been raising their fabrics on the most solid and lasting foundations, others have been forming them in the air, where the structure has been erected with infinitely less trouble, as their own invention led them to wish, and very pleasant, no doubt, was the delusion of the moment.
