A NOVEL. • 0 D.
" The author, we are renvinced. is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage i 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 mobilla of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. Tha writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraeli.% Man-
Larses, and Smythes."—Observe-.
sa wood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ng beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Rom 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 conspicuous parts in the tale are
Florence. Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
mpnisive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.
