H A TSOR,WORTH;
THE ROMANCE OF A WERE.
Edited by R. PLLTMER WARD, Esq.
Author ef " Tremaine," " De Vere," Soc.
" Eta" CRS will read " Chatsworth," for it is a work so novel in
Its disid24 10 steel/gut in its general execution, as to be certain to
make an impression upon the public mind. In the description of the
natural beauties of the scenery .urrouuding Chatsworth, and in the
drawing of the portraits of the Various guests there assembled, the
author evinces equal appreciation of the picturesque and knowledge
of charatter. He mingles brilliant and poetic descriptions of modern
life, scenes, and characters, with the old romantic stories of past
times. He blends in one work the ideal beauty of Tieck, the ever
fresh simplicity and charming nature of Boccacio and the sparkling
lescriptions of the manners of this age of Mrs. Gore; amidst much
to move our wonder and admiration."—Court Journal.
