Of the spirit, somewhat cynical it must
be confessed, in which the former is executed, the
remarks on Mrs. Stowe's recent work may be
taken as an example—" Mrs. Stowe's Sunny

lady's admiration make some folks look very
ridiculous." In the more set form of reviews,
chiefly devoted to works of importance, there is a
good display of literary knowledge and critical
acumen.
