SAi SLICK'S WISE SAWS AND MODERN INSTANCES ;
OR, WHAT HE SAID, DID, OR INVENTED. 2 VOLS.—We
do not fear to predict (says the Standard) that these de-
lightful volumes will be the most popular, as beyond
doubt they are the best, of all Mr. Haliburton's admir-
able works. The " Wise Saws and Modern Instances"
evince powers of imagination and expression far beyond
what even his former publications could lead any one to
ascribe to the author. We have, it is true, long been
familiar with his quiet humour and quaint, racy narra-
tive ; but the volumes before us take a loftier range, and
are so rich in fun and good sense that to offer an extract
as a sample would be an injustice to author and reader.
It is one of the pleasantest books we ever read, and we
earnestly recommend it to all who can enjoy such works.
