DISPLAY : A NOVEL. By AIRS. MABERLY. 3 vols. ---•
This tale is a most attractive one, with the great merit
of highly-finished social portraiture. It is one of the
most exquisite specimens of its class. We have never
met with more natural conversation than we find in this
novel ; and, wl tether in the country, in London, or in
Baden, the tone, of society is admirably preserved, and
the personages v ;ho appear upon the scene are charac-
tereci and cost= led with the nicest propriety. Fach
figure is distinct , and evidently drawn with all the light
and shade, the foibles and peculiarities, of life.—The
P2'0,19.

au humble acid ress to her Majesty, stating that the
House of Corms tons is half inclined for a vigorous prose-
cution of the v ar.—Punch.
