COUNT KONIGMA.RK, AN HISTORICAL ROMANCE,
BY CAPTAIN CHAMIER, R.N.—Captain Clumsier is an adept
at choosing a subject, but he has never before pitched upon a
more happy nne than in that of" Count Konigsmark." Not-
vi ir hstand ing Konigsmark's many bad qualities, and the personal
vanity which was the leading feature of his character, and
which tempted him into all his errors and crimes, he was a
man of courage, a gallant soldier, a gentleman by birth and
bearing. and a man with generous impulses, high aspirings, and
a most active and fertile imagination. All these are excellent
materials of which to make a hero of romance, and Captain
Chamier has very happily and skilfully availed himself of them ;
blending th -m also with many of the actual scenes and cireum.
seances in which his hero was engaged during his eventful life,
arid (Ailing to his aid his own fertile tane,, w lien needed, to
heighten by fiction the facts of history. There is an easy, off.
hand mariner about everything Captain Chamier does, which
falls in very well with the tone and spirit of reckless adventure
and exuberant life depicted in this novel, which is by far the
best of all the author's works which do not treat of nautical
