IN Altsts."—This Novel forms an excellent sequel to
ScoTis " 'Tales of the Crusaders." The story con:I-
-mpacts just as the Crusade against SALA DIN was over ;
and the whole kingdom was agitated by the question of
PuruP's divorce, and whether INGERBUILGZ Or AGNES
were the lawful Queen of France. The dislike of l'untr.
to the Danish Princess is singularly unaccountable, since
all the writers of the time enlarge on her great personal
beauty. From their first meeting, however, he hated her,
and almost immediately procured a divorce on the pretext
of consanguinity. Soon afrer he beeame attached to
AGNES DE MERANIE, married her, and the subsequent
unhappiness of the royal lovers, produced by the Papal
opposition, is advoirahly pourtrayed in thew pages. If
" Darnley," and "De L, Orme " acquired for this writer a
very high reputation, " Philip Augustus " will assuredly
extend it.
