NEW STORY OF TILE SEA, BY THE AUTHOR OF

" THE PILOT"—" HOMEWARD BOUND ott Tun CDASE."—TI'is book is
really what it professes to be—" A Tale of the Sea," and in many re-
spects it is the finest novel of its elite yet produced by the Smollett of
America. The plot is simple, and yet what diversity of incident—what
startling situations--what singular characters—what change of
scene does it not involve! The reader feels as much interest
in the fate of the good ship Montauk, chased by her In-
veterate pursuer, the English corvette-of-war, as he does in the
fortunes of Goodwin's poor " Caleb Williams," haunted by the eternal
presence of his tormentor Gines. In the adventures and perils of the
Montauk, a sympathy is excited by thi rare powri of the hoVeiiist, ors
though the ship were a human being. ller flight throtigh the vast
waste of waters, her dangers by storm and wreck, and the strange
circumstances that 132fel her on the coast of Africa, keep curiosity per-
petually on the alert, and urge the reader onwards in the narrative with
the same breathless haste ar tint by which the vessel herself was pro-
pelled before the wind. The story,too, is fell of mystery, and the cha-
racters art exhibited with great dramatic power. Such are Capiaie
Truck, Captain of the Naplauk, Saunders the Illack Steward ; the two
Effinghams ; Monday, the dissipated Enlishman ; Nanny Shiley, arid
her gentle mistress, Eve, the heroine of the tale. In " Homeward
Bound," Cooper has exceeded his firmer literary a-liievernents.—Miyirj
and Military Gazette.
