HOCHELAGA ; OR, ENGLAND IN THE NEW WORLD.
—Edited by Eliot Warburton, Esq., author of" The. Crescent
and the Cross."—This work has already reached a third edi-
tion. We shall be surprised if it do not go through many
editions. It possesses almost every qualification of a good
book—grace, variety, and vigour of style— a concentrated
power of description, which has all the effect of elaborate
painting—information carefully collected, and judiciously
communicated—sound ankl enlarged views of important ques-
tions—a hearty and generous love of country—and the whole
pervaded by a refined but sometimes caustic humour, which
imparts a constant attraction to its pages. We can cordially
recommend it to our readers, as well for the amusement of its
lighter portions, the vivid brilliancy of its descriptions, and
the solid information it contains respecting Canada, and the
position, generally, of England in the New World."—John
Bull.
