CAPTAIN MARRYAT'S NEW NOVEL, "PERCIVAL
KEENE.—" It gives us much pleasure to meet Captain
Marryat on his own eernent, and still more to greet him
there in his old capacity as the best naval novelist of the
day. This present novel, Percival Keene,' is one of the
true sailor kidney—frank, easy, and off-hand in the level
portions of the narrative ; forcible, spirited, and impres-
sive, where the exi'rencios of the action require it ; and
natural, novel, and original everywhere. The leading
feature of the design is indicated by the title—Percival
Keene, a shrewd, mischievous, hoaxing,. devil-may-care
contrast (and therefore a companion picture) to Peter
Simple. The idea is a happy one, and is happily v, o ked
out. The work is one succession of stirring incident and
moving action, carried out by it series of characters that
in truth, force, and spirit, have not been surpassed in
any of the writer's works,"—Naval and Military Gazette.
