MISS BREMER'S NEW NOVEL, " BROTHERS AND
SISTERS." TRAN.SLA.TED BY MARY HOWITT.--TO the
novel reading public a new novel by Miss Bremer, is
indeed a treat of the most refined and elegant descrip-
tion, as the one before us amply testifies. The peculiar
character of Miss Bremer's works, the simplicity and
beauty of her style, and the freshness and thought dis •
played in her execution, have long made her a very great
favourite, and placed her high in the class of novelists,
where, as a pourtrayer of domestic lite and what we
may term the domestic affections, she need yield the
palm to no competitor. " Brothers and Sisters" is of
this class. The story is exceedingly interesting, and the
tale throughout is told with the excellence and grace of
style which always adorn the works of this authoress.
"Brothers and Sisters" is indeed a first-rate novel, and
equal to any of the former productions of Miss Bremer.
