" This work will, front what we have seen of it, give
Air. Washington Irving a prodigious increase of fame.
The novelty of fact exhibited will command wonder,—
only to be explained by the circumstances which have
given the author access to public as well as private archives,
hitherto ' a fountain shut up, and a book scaled.' The
chaste and nervous elegance of the style, and the liberal
and truly philosophical east of thought and sentiment, are
what no one need be surprised with, who has read some
of his previous writings : but this performance is every.
way a more elaborate one than any of those, and of higher
pretensions,—pretensions • which we have no doubt the
world will pronounce to be justified in the result. To
throw an air of total novelty on a theme of ancientinte-
rest,—to write a history, where previously there had been
only memoires pour servir,'—such has been our Ameri-
can countryman's prowl attempt; and with unmingled
pleasure do we contemplate the fruit of his long and ar-
duous labours."—Literary Gazette, Feb. 2.
