A NOVEL. o 0 D.
" The author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. lie is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard ot morality and religion, and by a laudable love I
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage 1.2 which he expressos his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing moat eloquent essays
On matters that are the prima mobilia ot the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities. to the school of the Dlsraells, Max.
nersee. and Sinythes.

"` Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages owft
exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure ^.n.l forcible language,
good taste and power. It is one o: the most interesting and en
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Koss we have already spoken, and the extract we ]
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have ,
said. The other ladies who play coaspicuons parts in the tale are .
Florence flOWArd, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and I
impulsive genius, passionately tons of music and poetry : and Julia ]
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all.
