LADY BLESSINGTON'S NEW WORK, " THE
VICTIMS OF SOCIETY."—Lady Blessington has here, we thin).,
written her best book. With more than her usual share of
quick, lively, and accurate observation of persons and thir.gs,
she has made some deep and lasting incisions into that te.ixeil
and solid mass of ignorance, insipidity, hard insensibility, and
insincerity, which enter so largely into tho formation vi what
is called the exclusive or ultra-fashionable society ot. L
The expression of character is admirable throughou'.: f4entence
after sentence tells replete with sense and satire, and the main
purpose of the book is always kept in the reader's \ itm. With
ease, precision, and sparkling effect, we have cona'oined the
glare of the 'world of fashion, with glimses of the world of
fancy.—Examiner.

hilt. It. P. vl A RD, s NEW WORK, 'cl-lUMANI
LIFE."—It is a real pleasure to fin'tl this gifted writer again
contributing the treasures of his mind to the general stock of
our literature. As a delineator of human life and -charaf.:ter,
Mr. Ward stands out distinctly from the viliole e:lass of ),ivios
novelists. His pre-eminent qualities are depth, sweittness,
and tranquillity. His scenes of human nature and its varied
accessories are like the landscapes of Claude ; full of sunshine
and serenity : they serve at (Ince to warra and to soothe the
imagination. His writings leave the reVier in that temper of
mind, which it is most agreeable as we'd as most beneficial to
cultivate. • They are of higher purpc,se and value than to be
read and forthwith. dismissed : t'aey are of the kind to be stared
in private libraries, and recurriJa to from thne to time, as tt, still
fresh solact, and delight. .‘
TURKISH SERAGWIOS.—Aniong the nuraerot7.s
n, in the forthcoming novel of " Gentle-

man. Jack," is, we uriderstand, the whole mode and manner in
which Mahomcdan females are brought up and ',rented. It
will be remembered, that in " Cavendish," the a'athor took is
with him into Turkey, but in his new work the,. e is said to 11.
one of the most eoraplete descriptions of the. vdinutire of a s,!-

MEMOIRS OF A PEERESS ; OR, THE "JAYS Or
Fox.—The only question. that prese'ats itself to the mind. as
the perusal of these remarkable voluraes, is--" Why have they
been suffered to remain so long I:xipublished ?" Hrr mireas
of dry and heavy Volumes might have been superseded on our
shelves by these light,but striking, sketches of a period e s, pry:A.2lC
in great men as the, days of; King Arthur. We aro thiw st
introduced to the illustr ous Fox- in the playful e tie of eO-
- life; and riveted tc, a narrative of the last rue xs hs of his
existence, surpassing irk interest the most pathetic work of
fiction. . .
