THE NEW WORK, BY THE AUTHOR OF " VI-
VIAN GREY," AND " HENRIETTA TEMPLE."—The hero of
" Venetia" is Lord Byron. Amongst the individuals who are
drawn into the drama, under various titles, are Lady Caroline
Lamb, and Percy Byshe Shelley. The portraits are full of
power, and have a breath of vitality in them that gives assu-
rance that they are studies from the life. " The Lord Cadur-
cis" of the novel is touched with the wilfullness and humours
of Lord Byron, with that misanthropy which grew upon dis-
appointment, with his high genius and uncompromising pride.
How far Mr. D'lsraeli was justified in using such materials for
a work of this description, is a question which we leave the
public to decide.—Atlas.
MISS PARDOE'S RESIDENCE IN TURKEY.
This work, so long announced, has at length appeared. We
may now venture (on paper I) with our fair traveller, into the
Mosque of St. Sophia, at midnight, when detection would
have involved certain death ; and to the summit of Mount
Olympus among the eternal snows. We may listen in her
company to the thrilling service of the Howling Dervises,
and to the Fairy Zebec of a turbaned beauty in an Imperial
Harem. We are indebted to her for a special audience of a
Cabinet Minister, and we have—but we will betray her no
further, but refer our reader to the work itself, which cannot
fail to create a great sensation in the reading world.
