MR. AINSWORTH'S NEW ROMANCE, CRiell.
ToN.—Among the characters given in full length in Mr.
Ainsworth's popular Romance, " Crichton," that of Cathe-
rine de Medicis—liable et ange—stands prominent, but chiefly
under the former aspect. Her daughter, Marguerite de Va-
lois, surnamed Marguerite des Marguerites, or pearl of pearls,
figures also ; although the wife of Henry of Navarre, she falls
desperately in love with the " Incomparable," and her love is not
returned. We are also introduced to the witty Brantome, with his
compeer Ronsaid the poet, both of whom are made jovially to
jest and chat. Among the minor personages, one of the best
is Dame Tredegonde, hostess of the Falcon, who, like her
wine, improved with age, and vintner-like, wishing to please
both Catholic and Huguenot, was apt to misplace her accom-
modating ejaculations of " Holy Virgin !" and " The blessed
Luther 1" Poetry is scattered in rich profusion throughout the
work. As a whole, " Crichton" is, without controversy, the
best novel that has appeared this season.
