THE HONOURABLE GRANTLEY BERKELE
NEW WORK " BERKELEY CASTLE."—" This romance," °l' ,
serves the Examiner, " has great merit in its details.
Berkeley has a ready eye for the striking aspects of nature;
and knows how to present, in his scenery and the groups whice
enliven it, a proper romantic union of the picturesque with th
natural. The story is told in the shape of an auto-biographP
Herbert Reardon, one of the retainers of Sir Maurice Berkeley?
is supposed to have been the writer. Prefixed to his advea-
tures is a striking sketch of the present state of Berkeley
Castle, with a very interesting retrospect of the fortunes of it
owners before the birth of Reardon. The history of the latter
commences in the midst of the strife and litigation which fol-
lowed the death of the fourth and greatest Earl BerkeleY'
The volumes contain many delightful snatches of nutural de'
scription."
On Friday night a party of night marauders amused
themselves in the village of Wisbeach St. Mary's,
up about forty young forest trees in front of Mr. Abbott'S
premises ; they removed a fleak from Mr. Bothway's garden
put a waggon of Mr. Welldon's in a pond; stripped the best
apple tree in Mr. Dawes' garden ; and committed several other
mischievous tricks.—Lincoln Gazette.
