LITERATURE.
ZEIL AAT 110 ALE. By AZ2/C Fraser Tytler.
Llatchard.
To write a really good " children's hoek" is no
easy tush. Among the tnultiaide of work, for the
young which are continually iesuiug from the press,
very few entirely accomplish the object at which they
aim, but thor.e few achieve no mean success. Unfor-
tunately, those authors and authoreeses who can
Succeed in this species of literature ere, for the most
part, ambitious of higher honours, and anxious them-
selves to instruct "children of a larger growth,"
they leave the direction of youthful minds and youth-
ful hearts to writers of inferior abilities. In so doing
i'3voe cannot but think they err, for the composition of
al'a of the kind alluded to is not within the range
of inferior abilities. A wonderful appreciation of
nature, a genuine simplicity, not; so much of style
as of heart, a truthful faith in the good of
human nature, a. charity that thinks no evil,
and a gaiety of manner and of sentiment--3 gaiety.
11°1: assumed, but springing from a
blessin glad appreciation
of the beautiful, and a cheerful gratitude for all the
gsof life, joined to a practical hourly applica-
tion of the teachings of Christianity,—all these are
among the qualities most akin to the loving heart of
childhood, and in consequence, most essential in the
author of a good " children's book." Hence it is
small matter of astonishment that few, as we have
said, are enabled to accomplish the beau ideal of such
a Work. In addition to which qualifications consi-
derable intellectual abilities are required. No small
judgment is necessary to mingle the due proportions
of " grave and gay," of amusement and instruction—
" Cosi alt'egro fauciul poreiamo aspersi
Di spare licor gli orli del vaso,"
according to Tesso's well-known simile. Bearing in
Mind all the facts above mentioned, it is with a very
cordial appreciation of her great abilities, and of the
excellent use to which she devotes them, that we con-
Rratulate. Miss Fraser Tytler on her most beautiful
and valuable contributions to juvenile literature.
Among her numerous works the most attractive are

three voluines of `'Leila in the Eland," "Leila in
" and " Leila at Home," which has recently

,tharming; the freshness and naturalness of the por-
tr"ait can only be appreciated by a perusal of the
iak, • Raving been shipwrecked on her way from

lier "acquaintance with all the forms of civi-
zed life
gives occasion to the most ludicrous
at the same time, the excellent
instructions of her father having developed the moral
qualities. of her nature, Leila is a mixture of wisdom
and. ignorance, of goodness and childish simplicity, •
e hlch as we have said, perfectly charming. If our
Juven
re can be the means of introducing Leila in any
ile circles, we are confident we shall earn the
sTatitude of both old and young—of the young who
:all be charmed with such a delightful companion,
ad of the "parents and guardians," who will, at
~° small trouble to themselves, be materially aided in
loe education of. their charges. No lessons are like
ose of example, and the examples of Leila and her
LTapanions will, we are assured, prove far more effec-
tual, besides being more delightful, than written
at the '°Lbilies or spoken " lectures." We hope and trust
authoress of Leila will not be disposed, for
age

vallia°ori a branch of literature of so much real

Tin Slick, who has already, in his own person,

Unteur of America, not content with that very re-
toksble instance of the capacities of his country in
se respects, has now presented us with three
volumes brimming over with la creme de la creme of

nl,erkable specimens, both as regards the manner and

t studious observer. To the general reader their

collection of tales and sketches of an interesting, gro-
tesque, and amusing nature, these volumes will be re-

where the characters of those people, and the motives
of those actions, are considered and analysed :

world is as unnatural and fatal as it is in the
material world, where development and progress
are imperative, where even decay evolves reconstruc-
tion, and life is springing up from the cold grasp of
death. Nothing stationary can satisfy a mind like
Sanley's, and to he felt it ; he knew ho was not formed
for a tranquil life of inaction, he never made a cessation

and battle-strife is man's appointed destiny as long as
life is his, and ha was grateful for the moral and intel-
lectual power which hod been granted him to fulfil his
aPpoint-d vocation. He felt as if a!l difficulties, all
!weariness were welcome, if the inmost sanctuary of his
lean could be illumined by the tenderness of such
love as Mariana, as if that would preserve him from
the world, in which lay his appointed path, and bridle
his higher and loftier feelings towards the highest good
and the purest beautiful."
