tins production Mr. B.nim has shown his
deep knowledge Of the workings Of the
human heart, III circumstances of pecu-
liar and extraordinary character, and
he conveys his philosophy through the
medium y: narrative which is singular
IiN happy and iorcible. Some Of the inci-
dents are wrought up with power which
is most appalling; and the whole conduct
and development of the story IS full OF
attraction. The interest excited ia the
mind Of the reader, Is constant aud un.
broken from the commencement, to the
catastrophe. The principal female is one
OF the must delig httul and natural cuncep-
