A NOVEL. 0 0 D.
" fhe author, we are convinced. Is young, otherwise we could
hardly tee disAaved met fiwith and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of hS heroes and heroines. lie is a w riter of genius, inspired
ty a high standard of morality mid religion, an by a.landable love
of ;he purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage t which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects lust mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
ha= marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraeli', Man-
nerses, and Smythes.”—Observer.
• Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and Is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gszflig novels which the present season has pro.luced. Of the cha-
racter 3f Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
laid. The other ladies who playtcoospicaons parts In the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
Impulsive genius, passionately fond" of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Poet.
