A NOVEL. 0 B

" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly se3 displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
haltof his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, an 4 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 arc dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobllity. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the DisraellS, Man-
series, and Smythes.' —Observer.
and no ordinary work ; tt contains passages of exceed-
ng beauty, 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 bas produced. 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 conspicuous parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
Impulsive genius, passionately fond of music anti poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.
