In viewing the general advancement of Litera-.
tore during the present -age, it is gratifyint4 to re-
Mark, that a complete and salutary reformation
has taken place in the art of Novel-wririog. The
nomerous productions of the French Revolu-
tionary School of Fiction, consisting chiefly of
vapid imitations of ROUMAU, have, been con-
signed to merited oblivion ; and the mystic deli-
rvions of the German Illuminati have either,
shared the same fate, or are remembered only to
he execrated. Sentimentalism, that monstrous
combination of all that was improbable in inci-
dent, inconsistent in character, dud hyperbolical
both in 'conception anti expression, has been ex-
ploded by the joint force of serious .censure,. and
of comic satire ; the public, taste has at the same
tinie been improved and refined by the introduc-
tion, of better models in this depearttnent of the
Belies Lettres, and no performance can now coot-
tumid an extensive and lasting popularity which
does not present sound views of life, and faithful
delineations of human nature. This, beneficial
change is chiefly attributahle to the exertions of
Writers, who are still living ; and among them,
Miss O'KERFFS has entitled herself to, a distin-
guished place, by the:Work now before di, in
which are united the attractions of a lively series
of correspondence, with those of a well-con-
structed ati,l tri6st interesting Tale. Many of the
Letters might be teparately adduced as happy, spe-
cimens of . flog .prightly, and graceful ease in,
epistolary writing so frequently aimed at, and so
seldom attained or, in other words, of that fa-
miliar yet polished manner which forms the in-
termediate_ gradation between the tone of com-
mon discourse among %.I.eil-bred people, and tb,
more deliberate and nicely balanced style of lite-
rary composition. Taken collectively, and in re-
ference- to the-subjeet, they form a more appro-
priate vehicle for -it, than if they"4mad been em-
bodied into fornial-Nerrativy .It Is but justice
to add, that the various puts in this animated
aurl bustling Comedy are anstailyzd with admir-
able spit it and co aiistertcy; that the ladies to
%nom Miss OatliFFE has introduced tis, betray
not a shade of the &as bleu; and that 'the Gentle-,
men write—like Gentlemen, as Mr. CONGRfiVE
would say, anti not like, authors.

_ .
The basis of the story is exceedingly simple,
and we are rather surprised that it Shuttla have af-
forded scope for the display of so many charac-
ters. - Sir Eliot Howard, .di.stractedat the loss of
a beloved wife, who dies suddenly in the bloom
of youth, departs from his country, and secludes
I.imSelf in the recesses of the Canary Islands,
where he forms MI acqttaintanee witha ble
Spaniard, 'the Count of Almeida, ts hose romantic
adventureS-oc'etipy no inconsiderable part of the
work. IVhen time has in ,some degree mitigated
his grief, and reconciied him to the duties of his
station, Sir Eliot sends ro., his infant daughter,
Claudina, the sole 'pledge of hiS hapless union,
and- he snbsegnently. adopts Dudley, one of the
sons of his friend the Rev. Henry Clonmore.7--
Dudley and Claudina, therefore, become the Paul
and Virginia of the- Tale. The other leading
charaCters are the two widowed Sisters. of:-Sir
,Elint, Mrs. Grantley and Lady Alford, and .a be-
nevolent but eccentric physician named Dr. 1-I.
We shall introduce them to our Readers by quot-
ing a Letter to the Baronet from -Mr. Clonniore,
in reply to a request that little Claudius, should4e
sent to him.

Even your awful threat, that the continuance
of our friendship was at stake, did. I not comply
with yo"r wishes,. might have tailed, had they
not met with a powerful auxiliary in Dr.
whom, as I told him, I charitably think you have
secretly bribed into' yOur service on this'occasion ;
but the whim of his raving .at in for a conse-
quential blockhead, in hesitating a moment on
your pronfisai, was what diverted me, as if
sailing to Teneriffe was little more than rowing to
Kew.

'' What, on earth, are you afrAd of.?' he Vo-
Ciret fated.

" Nnthing, on earth, Doctor,' I replied,
laughing. ,

‘" Well then, on the seas, you-ginning whelp
you ? ‘Vould not. One think you expected mutinies
anti w'ater-spouts,, whales, shipwrecks, icebergs,
and krakens, that•yOu make as much bother about
a Fourteen days' pleasant sail, as it yotvwere in-
vited out to the North lole. One would imagine
the fellow was at Java instead of TencrifFe, here
close at hand.' Half The time spent in saying.
Louisa, toy wife, ,shall I go, or shall 1 not go?'
would have taken you ten times. there, and back
again.'
" Well, Doctor,' I replied, rather piqued at
his raillery, ' as you seem to think no moire of
crossing the Bay ot, Biscay in time of war, and
sailing to these Atlantie islands, than you would
taking a trip to the Bay of Dublin, suppose you
accompany me r_ _

" < Why so I intend, you puppy, wbetheryou
invite me or not.'

" As I merely, in an ill-humour, hazarded this
proposal, without the slightest knowledge of his
purpose, you may suppose what relief and pleasure
these words afforded.
" Oh, in that case,' I ohServed, the affair. is
a settled thing ; and now to prepare for this itu•
pendons enterprise.'
" Mrs. Grantley, to whom 1 had not as yet
mentioned, even in the slightest manner, what
were the nature of your hopes, was sitting near
us, at work, during this conversation, and, at my
last remark, was heard to utter a deep sieb. Ra,
Cher astonished, I turned round, and, for_a mo-
ment, stood to observe bey attentively, without

" These worts completed Abe business. You
may Oppose what followed; but well as you ate
acquainted with your sisters` temperament, I defy
p.m to pictitte her (unless assist ynurimagina-
tio) rising calmly tram,her eltair,,..replacing her

" Depend upon it, you are
,right ; her heart,

aalitable gems.: no one has tlre key of it hot her-
self, and to none but to a bosom, friend is ..it un-
locked. It is evideut,. from the report of their
most -Intimate acquaintanCe, that her husband
knew her heart., au t.,' valitt'd "it -accordingly.":'

To the calm, sedate, but warm-hearted 'charac-
ter of Mrs.-Grantley, there is a fine contrast in'
that of her vivacious and volatile sister, Lady Al-
ford, whose be.havioni, when first informed of her
brother's wishes and intentions.i- thus desdribeff:-.-

Howara, it is entirely out of my power

" Mrs. Grantley was next attacked, and the
Teneriife expedition rcpreseptedio all its horrors.
Shut up with a wild misantimipe, (whom, how-
ever, she'sfeatlY lovesi,) a squalling perverse brat,
(who was an angel,) an old duenna, covered from
head to foot.. with Spanish snuff, (your Alarte

servants, and nova stint with whom to exchange
visits but Don this and Donna that, anti Douzella

" As for lialtour, he was a bowing Sawney,
and Dan Zulvago a Jesuit, without ceremony,
tiro had set you on to build and plant in a foreign
place, that he might enjoy house and land him-
self, afts,tr throwing you into the dungeons of the
" This conceit pleased the fancy of Dr. ll—to
so violent a degree, that her Ladyship next turned
her vengeance on him, as the original cause of all
this mischief, by tucking you under his arm, like
a bag of Cayenne pepper, as she said, and hoist-
ing sail for Tenetilfa.
" One word more,' said the Doctor, after
listening to her extravagance for some time, with
the greatest indulgence, another word, my
beauty, and serve-you as I did when you were
a little hit), ten years- oltl, stop your vixen rose-'

seen her ,in tears, or worl&eil .itp to, such strong
firrd gentOrte emotion, for her grief was sincere,
think until now I scarcely knew hoek lovely
she is. -

Doctor, who fortunately is at this time free from

the business, put tts all into greater good huoncrur ;
