WILL/AM LA.NGSHAWE, THE COTTON-LORD.—The
scene of this novel is laid in Lancashire, and there is
an occasional shifting of it to Italy, The characters are
a fair portraiture of life and manners as they exist in a
state of society which has been produced by the ope-
ration of a power which suddenly sprung up in the
northern provinces, and which, in an incredibly brief'
period, converted their labourers into Lords, and their
peasants into Princes. The incidents and the situa-
tions are all important links in the drama,
arid are so interwoven and combined, so strangely
diversified and yet so harmoniously blended, that
the denouement is natural. " William Langshaw,
the Cotton-Lord," as a tale, will be read with avidity,
and its higher qualities, as an exhibition of human nature,
embracimg so large a section of humanity as is compre-
hended in the manufacturing districts of the north,
abounding too, as it dues, in Just and emnobling senti-
ments, will obtain for it apractical influence as extensive
as its circulation in those districts; while the country at
large will be brought acquainted with an influential
portion of the community,—a " fifth estate of the
realm"—now acting, and probably destined to act, a most
important part in the political movements of these
eventful times. With a graphic pen Mrs. Stone has
drawn the astonishing contrast between Manchester,
now " the metropolis of the North," and Manchester, a
comparatively insignificant town a century ago. The
closing pages of the second volume give us some insight
into that fearful thing " a strike." It was, at the period
to which the writer refers—a wanton outrage' excused by
no necessity—impelled by no distress. "Trades' unions'
are fraught only with mischief, the heaviest weight.
of which falls, not upon the masters, but upon the ope-
ratives themselves. But men organized for such mis-
chief, and in the habit of being trained, to act secretly
and in concert, in the event of any great political convul-
sion, might be dangerous, if not successful, promoters of
anarchy. There are passages in these volumes of ex-
quisite description, of profound and tender sentiment,
and of sublime morality, which entitle them to our un-
qualified commendation.—Atlas.
