the time is during the reign of Caliph liaroun
Al-raschid, the most splendid, chivalrous, and
enlightened of any in the Arabian annals. With
respect to incident, the tale is somewhat confu-
sed,—characters and events are introduced with-
out any apparent necessity ; the former, espe-
cially, no sooner begin, "to be interesting,"
and develope themselves, than the scene changes,
and with it the dramatis personae. We
are hurried from Karmath, the sorcerer, and the
Ruins of Babylon, to some place (God knows
where) among the Himalaya maintains, where
however the author introduces a simple and
affecting episode, entitled " Malek and Zelica,"
which is really very beautiful. It is in fact the re-
deeming feature of the book; for after all the display
of lavish splendour in imagery, character, and de-
scription, with which Oriental fictions abound,
and with which Karmath, as an imitation, is also
replete, the reader turns instinctively to those
more familiar incidents which touch his heart by
their homely but natural simplicity. We have
said that Karmath is an imitation of Oriental
romance ; it is eminently so, and in consequence
of this close adherence to its original, will never we
are afraid, be naturalized in England. The genius
of the East is too cold and glittering and imagina-

tive to harmonize with our mental ;
we require the feelings, not the fancy, to be roused;
and hence those are most popular with us, who,
like Shakspeare, have sounded the depths and
drawn forth the passions of the human heart.
But whatever be the defects of Karmath's models,
the tale itself is one of commanding and sustained
interest throughout ; the scenes that take place
in the caverns among the Ruins of Babylon are,
described with thrilling power the character pfl
the chief sorcerer, though a sketch, is bold ana
original ; and the general style (though diffuse).
is consistent with its subject. We eive the foi-
l:,

Lowing impressive description, as a sample of the
higher qualities of this tale. The ruins alluded
to are those of Babylon :

" About four miles to the north-eastward of Halal',
amid these wide-spreading plains of Irak, the lightning-
blasted piles of Babylon appear, and close to the ruins
sweeps by with powerful stream the renowned Euphrates,
oldest of rivers ! which lingers near these mysterious piles,
and bathes with its waters fragments graven with the
magic characters, lying conspicuous amidst hills of sun-
dried bricks. Here desolation reigns supreme over the
impressive scene, which is marked by a solemnity and si-
lence affecting and terrible!' ". The vestiges of overthrown
fragments, of cleft ravines, of shattered palaces blackened
by the trace of sulphureous flames, speak a tale of wicked-
ness, and display evidences of Divine judgment and ven-
geance truly appalling. The silence of this spot has no
affinity to that of the soothing repose of nature, but seems
only the awful pause preceding the demonstration of some
great act of supernatural power—some signal vengeance—
such as appears in the wondrous scene around. So vast
are the crumbled masses, that the ruins appear to the eye
to be mountains of nature's work, scathed and shattered in
her anger. History points to them as the relics of a
mighty and a glorious empire. One eminent pile, rent from
top to bottom, is furrowed around with vast clefts and ra-
vines, gloomy and unsightly recesses, wherein the beams
of day never penetrated, sad the eye withdraws its gaze iu
silent horror ; for there crawl in safety bloated unsightly
reptiles and poisonous serpents,
,hissing forth their fierce
defiance. Owls also, and satyrs of the wilderness, keep
their undisturbed resort amid these awful courts."

this-week, but prices are fully supported; the sales are
