" Full of talent, equal to the most:touching pictures of human life
and descriptions•of rural scenery, to the development of character,
and to those minute touches of the pencil which prove great acute-
ness of observation, and a peculiar skill is illuminating a whole sub-
ject by a brilliant stroke of nature and art. The author displays
sound sense on grave topics affedting sentiment on human vicissi-
tudes and sorrows, quiet humour on subjects susceptible of playful
illustration and simplicity combined. We welcome him as a very
smart and able accession to the scanty roll of our most successful
living novelists."—Literary Gazette.

The Deed of Settlement of this Company having been approved by
the Registrar, and the number of Shares prescribed by the Act having
been subscribed for, the Directors will proceed upon the let or-May
ttext, ensuing, to issue Sea Policies under their Common Seal.
For the effectual protection of both shareholders and the assured,
the constitution of this Company is based on the principle of limit-
%g the amount entertained in and upon individual vessels, or their
4tiargoes, in rateable proportion to the capital subscribed, and remelti-
ng clear in hand according to a graduated scale, constructed with the
etoatest care, thereby securing a wide and equalised distribution of
9,tstanding risks, to the entire exclusion of gambling profits, and
ruinous losses, from both sides of the account.
Under special clauses inserted in the Deed, no single Insurance,
jhe space of twelve months, from the date of issuing the first
will exceed 5001. For the space of three years from the same
date the limit has been fixed at 1,000/. ; and for the space of seven
mare at 1,5001.,—a method of proceeding obviously calculated to
a steady and remunerative business, and avoid the disastrous
1V: incidental to an opposite system.
