MARSTON ; OR THE SOLDIER AND STATESMAN, By
the Rev. G. Crolv, LL.D.—This work presents a singular
contrast to the "Salathiel" of the same author. That exhi-
bited the most important period and the most eventful
scenes in the annals of antiquity, restoring the genius, the
thoughts, and the circumstances of the Christian era ; this
gives to view the leading features of an age almost too closely
connected with our own to be termed the past. But both
are marked by the same kind of ability, though exercised on
widely different themes, and are in their spirit much more
essentially historic than fictitious. In " Marston" it appears
to be Dr.Croly's design to place on record his impressions
and recollections of the last half century. The whole work
has the spirit of truth, and in its notices of the French Revo-
lution, of the war, and of the politics of England and Ireland,
presents some of the most vivid portraits of illustrious per•
sonages, and some of the most magnificent pictures of me-
morable events that have yet been given to the public. The
varied qualities of the-work will ensure it a wide circle of
readers, and we believe a lasting popularity. The imagina-
tive will esteem it for the romance of its fiction , the
thoughtful for its sentiments and its principles; and the. men
of public life for its copious eloquence and glowing images.
