11,1u d by Mr. 'I ht odore Hook, in comicality of character and
int idea, is equal, if not superior, to the best of this unri-
valled author's. former works. Those who have laughed over

us "die with laughter," does not miss his aim to rouse our
indignati; n at those who would render marriage a mere agent
for mercenary si eeelatipn.
