A NOVEL.

" The author, we arc convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. lie 13 a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality *and religien, ant by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just 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
has inarke4 per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
nerses, and Smythes."—Observer.

“ • Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and foreiLle language, with great
good taste and power. It is cne of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has proanced. 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 ladles who play conspicuous parts in the tale are
F!orence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Illaithuhl, the noblest and best of them all.”—Morning Post.
