LITERATURE."-file efforts of literary
.genius
must-be always gratifying to people of t.3.;t_e
'liberality, but when they .flow froth a fe!-1:ulc. ,Liu-
thor, there is a chivalrous spirit excited in every
elegant and well formed mind, which gives
double glow •of animation to the langna,,e of
praise. "Miss 1-IvicHlNsoN, the, elegant and

-arrestii their keenest attention„,wbilefthe
of sentiment and elegance of diction which adorn
.every page, cannot fail to improve the heart atgl
judgment, and correct the taste Of every age and
set. The moral principles wbioh tha fair author
inculcates, unlike the romantic and flimsy vehicles
too often resorted to by. modern uc,yel writers, to
..convey the most poisonous. doctrines, are of the
purcstAnd most practical kind. She has also pro-
