TEE KELLY'S AND THE O'KELLY'S ; OR, LANDLOR
AND TENANTS, a Tale of Irish Life. By A. Trollop„
Eq. We like this novel (says the Atheneum) better
thae Mr. Trollopo's former one, because, though nut ,
more powerful, it is less painful. Its pages are animated
by characters distinguished from mere virtues and vices.
Humour pervades its scenes, and it is the true "emend.'
humour, as incomparable after its kind as the genuinb
potato spirit battled with by the apostle of teinperanco.
Widow Kelly is Irish to the backbone, in her triumphant
scolding and nnselfish generosity. There is a touch of
the unfeigned Hibernian jontleman. in Lord Ballandind;
anditot Blake shows us that even so cosmopolite a stir
ence as gambling take's a local colour from the Curra,,,eh,
the Bois .de Boulogne, or the Downs at Epeoin. Then,
though they are less national, Lord and Lady,Cashel
srb
a pair whom Miss Austen need not have disowned. •
