ATHERTON. By MARY RUSSELL MITFORD, author
of "Our Village," &c.— " Atherton' (says the A tliencount)
is a charming tale, written in a cheertnl, kindly, buoyant
spirit, and refreshes the reader like a drive in the country.
It abounds in those descriptions of English scenery in
.which Miss Mitford is always felicitous. In the preface
there is a brief and placid record of the painful ciream-
stanoea under which Atherttne was written. It will
excite the sympathy and respect of all who read it, and
if there be any virtue in the earnest good wishes of all
whom she has made her friends, Mary Aland ought to
fee, l their iiiillience—she has ,inlisted the very selfishness
of litanan nature in her favour, for there are few who
would not wish her a speedy restoration to health, if only
that she utight writo another story as pleasant
Ather-
ton.' "
