1848, Flies in Amber in 1850, Reginald Lyle in 1854, The Jealous Wife in 1855, Lady Arabella in 1856, A Life-Struggle in 1859 and The Rich Relation in 1862. Travelogues and cultural studies While travelling abroad, she wrote her first travel book, Traits and Traditions of Portugal, which was published in 1833. In 1835, while at Constantinople, Julia witnessed the horrors brought on the population by the plague epidemic of that year. She was inspired by her travels with her father to publish The City of the Sultan and Domestic Manners of the Turks in 1837. Previously, Europeans had an aggrandized view of the Ottoman Turkish people, but Pardoe's work presented its upper class with sympathy and humanity. The book became so popular it was republished in a three-volume set in 1838, 1845, and 1854. In 1838, Pardoe published The Beauties of the Bosphorus and The River and the Desart. The latter is a collection of letters to a friend, offering a personal account of her own experiences. The City of Magyar, published in 1840, includes thorough research into Hungarian economic and political life. It was also considered an easier and more accessible read than her other books. Histories Her most enduring works, reprinted in the 20th century, were her historical writings on the French 16th and 17th-century courts. These included Louis the Fourteenth and the Court of France in the Seventeenth Century (1847), The Court and Reign of Francis the First, King of France (1849), and The Life of Marie de Medicis, Queen and Regent of France (1852). Editing In editing and working on the writing of others, Pardoe translated Guido Sorelli's La Peste (The Plague) in 1834 and edited Anita George's Memoirs of the Queens of Spain, published in 1850. In 1857, she wrote the introduction to The Thousand and One Days; a Companion to the Arabian Nights. Critical reception Contemporaries recalled Pardoe as warm-hearted and animated, as well as extremely talented. Samuel Carter Hall said of the late author, she was a "fairy-footed, fair-haired, laughing sunny girl" in her youth, but he poked fun at her attempts to appear girlish in middle age, due to a horror of ageing. Early in her career, Pardoe caught the attention of Princess Augusta of Cambridge, who became interested in her work and asked her to dedicate her next work Traits and Traditions of Portugal (1834) to her, which Pardoe obligingly
