LITERATURE.

°,IVENSTE/N. 2 Vols.—Whitt,her. London, i 836.
111 e volumes are the production of Miss Jane
nilherts—..., lady
favourably known by a work 1)111)-
1;1 ed within the last one or two years, entitled " Two
Years at Sea." Her present work, however, is tic~
eidedly an
. improvement on her former) showing more
ItP"ess of thought, and general felicity of language.
to is in fact a production of a high order of mind, full
wit°,7erfinwing of. descriptions of sylvan scenery, painted
'' it Claude-like warmth of colouring ; and develop-
"ig touches of the gentlest and most unsophisticated
na_ture. The inhabitants of the German forest, with
'whom the fair authoress undertakes to make us ac-
ivainted, are far above the common run of characters,
being imbued with much of the subtlest poetical tem-
perament, and therefOre resembling the creations of a
fertile fancy, rather than of a strict matter-of-fact ob-
server. But indeed the tale throughout is scarcely
c'ne of this world ; it is instinct with the most ctherial
the
of imagination, and so far reminds us of one of
enchanting fictions of the Baron de la Motte.
iii e two Ernestines, mother and daughter, are essen-
tlY a the Baron's school ; and so, to a certain ex-
te,nt, is Lowenstein, a character wholly built up of
rne imaginative. The love scenes, which are nume-
t°4---as they should always be, when a lady pour-
thra3rB Them—are replete with delicacy and refinement;
'eY are, in fact, in prose, what " Genevieve" is in
11°1 etry, and it is impossible that we can bestow on
ea" higher praise. We hope the book will be suc-
cesaful, for it has been evidently penned with care.
and with a view to work out a valuable moral. We
can imagine no pleasanter reading under the shade of
a tree, inthe sunny evenings of Midsummer.

FINE ARTS.

WISSERLAND. Part XXII.

Virtue, London. 1836.
The present Part consists of four landscape en-
rlings of some of the most celebrated scenes in
for sserland, executed from designs supplied expressly
quick
work, by William Bartlett—an artist who has
and lively apprehension of the picturesque.
kish, most interesting, and perhaps the most happily
1,11:u of these engravings, is the view of the
hic7Pice of the Grand St. Barnard"—a scene with
:h. ,no doubt, many of our readers are familiar, and
8414 they will gladly recall to memory. The lights
Hiceat,mg from the front windows of the Hospice, and
of 'ering with a faint radiance along the dark bosom
ai_the lake immediately beneath, are pourtrayed with
aougular skill and knowledge of effect. The solitary
ilagrdt°,°---an animal, of course, of the famous St. Ber-
mif breed—who is represented standing on the shores,
listening attentively to the toll of the Convent
taodwnich is to summon him to his duties, is aptly in-
tut need, and greatly heightens the interest of the pic-
by et' Mont Blanc, from Chamouni," is engraved
114,3,b Buckle,- and does that artist credit ; the landscape,
wri"ever, has been so often sketched, and so often
fortten, and talked about, that there is no need
0v us here to comment on its peculiarities. " Bridge
er the Rhine" is a bold, rocky scene, consisting of a
black' deep-sunk glen, with crags piled confusedly
Jrcrags, towering away to an immense height on
side, and a shallow, brawling stream foaming
its channel at the bottom of the ravine, half-
4-t43' 1-113 which a wooden 'bridge, of the rudest con-
41eti°11, is thrown across, reminding us not a little of
hO-otrevirs Bridge, which is situated in the neighbour-
r °f the Duke of Newcastle's princely seat at
a'°(l- The brief literary illustrations attached to the
