pudeut frauds is, as the author truly remarks,
to be ascribed to the unwillingness of dupes
to admit that they have been trdien in ; and rather
than endure the ridicule of their friends, they suffer
rogues to prosper and honest and simple men to
be swindled. We are glad to see in the present
work that the author has taken the advice given
hin from more than one quarter to do himself jus-
tice, and with his unquestionable knowledge of
sporting matters to introduce a thorough sporting
gentleman, and not confine himself to the tagrag
and bobtail of the hunting field, nor to the loafers
Who follow a hunt for the sake of an invitation.
Mr. Jovey Jessop is decidedliir the most respectable
character yet introduced by the author into any of
his novels, and we trust that he will sustain this
gentleman's character to the (-ad of the work.

A simple and pleasing story, narrating the for-
tunes of a young lady left alone in the world, who
devotes herself to works of charity and utility.
She resolves upon continuing her single life, and
shrinks from the thought of change. However,
she meets with a gentleman wl to is about to emi-
grate to Australia, who induced her to change her
Mind. She becomes his wife and accompanies him
to his new home. We have some agreeable pic-
tures of colonial life given us, taid the tale ends by
leaving the hero and heroine in doubt whether or no
they shall avail themselves of a favourable oppor-
tunity of returning to their native country. There
is nothing very striking in its pages, but it gives
some pleasing pictures of home and colonial life.
