Two Hearts : a Talc. Edited by Mrs. Grey,
authol• of " Cousin Harry," &c. Hurst and
Blackett.

This is a very peculiar work. The author evi-
dently possesses great power of description, and in
some passages there is an earnestness that attracts ;
but the general impression conveyed by its perusal
is not an agreeable one. There is too much senti-
mentality pervading its tone, to the exclusion of
real feeling. Had Aimee Eden been truly attached
to De Walden, and conducted herself in a straight-
forward manner, things would have been very diffe-
rent. It seems impossible to sympathise with
sorrows so wilfully occasioned, and the right-
judging will feel indignant with one who took
upon herself a false position, and occasioned suffer-
ing to many from want of proper courage. Her
ideas were obscured by her habit of looking at life
through a false medium, and she is certainly a
warning to all persons similarly mystified to rouse
themselves from the dangerous delusion. .Armine
De Walden • himself is more deserving of notice,
although he is rather exaggerated and unreal in
his conduct. The self-control which he exercised
in the painful position in which he was placed,
after the marriage of Aimee to Colonel Dartmouth,
is very creditable to him, and, under happier aus-
pices, he might have become an ornament to
society. Colonel Dartmouth is a relief in his manly
straightforwardness and independence, after the
morbid characters which have engaged the reader's
attention. Mr. and • Mrs. Dc Walden, the parents
of Armine, are charming sketches—the picture
drawn of their quaint simplicity and old-world life
is a redeeming passage in the work, and one which
the eye delights to contemplate. There is ample
evidence of talent throughout this story, and there•-
fore the author has a chance of succeeding better in
the future, by avoiding the extravagancies of the
present work. _ •

The Settler's Guide to. the Cape of.;Good Hope

and Colony of:Natal. By W. Irons, Stanford.
This is another of those usefUl -little volumes,
addressed more especially to intending emgirants,
which give a succinct de ,cription of a colony, its
.chief pecularities of soil,_climate, &c., the principal
sources of wealth, the openings for settlers, and all
similar information. It must be an invaluable
assistant to the emigrant, who thus becomes ac-
quainted with his new home, and learns what
trade he had better adopt. It will also enable
those who are undecided to consider whether there
is an opening for their particular calling, whether
the climate, population, &c., is such as they have
been led to suppose. The gentleman who has com-
piled these statistics, from authentic sources, is the
Secretary to the Cape Town Mechanics' Institution,
and is therefore well qualified to judge. He freely
states what trades and what classes had better not
come out. One of Mr. Stanford's admirable maps
is prefixed to the work.

The Court Journal Register for 1858. Mitchell.
This work is issued by the proprietors of the
Court Journal, and presents to the fashionable
world a register of the presentations and attend-
ances at Court during the season, thus giving a
lasting record of what otherwise appears to the
uninitiated a somewhat evanescent glory. The more
generally useful portion of theiwork is the full and
complete list of all official personages, from the
Members of the Cabinet to the Yeomen of the
Guard. An historical account of the various offices
of the Royal household will be interesting to the
curious, and the work is likely to be useful as a
reference, to those connected with the political and
fashionable world.
