THE TRUE RELIGION.
By JOHN EVELYN. Author of "Sylva," Sze.
Now First Published from the Original MS.
"Scarcely could a moment have beet chosen more seasonable than
the present for the publication of this posthumous work of the Chris-
tian Philosopher of Wptton. The views and principles advocated in
these volumes are of a Strict and decisive Chureh character. The
work is one likely to contribute in no small degree, especially at the
present day, to the healing of existing differences, and to the vindi-
eatien of the principles of our Church. alike against Romish super-
stition and latitudinarian unbelief."—John Bull,

A NOVEL. 0 D.

, " The author, we fire convinced, is young, otherwise we could
lizally se: displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
imr, of his heroes and heroine'. He is a writer of genius, inspired
bya high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
gnage in which he expresses his feelings, sentimdits, 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 niobliia of till actions which cha-
acterlee nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
nerve!, and Stnythes."—Observer.
• ' Sllwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good Lista and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has prostuced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross 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 conspicuona parts in the tale are
Florence [lnward. 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 Post.
