SAM SLICK.--The new work by Sam Slick, bearing
the attractive title of " Nature and Human Nature," is
to appear in a few days. In this production it is said
that Judge Haliburton has surpassed all hisf ormer efforts,
in wit, humour, character, and originality. There is
perhaps no living writer so well acquainted with "Human
Nature" as the inimitable Sam, and a better subject for
his pen could not have been found.
