culiary interesting at this juncture, but as being
written with great ability and Judgment and equally

Burton or the Sieges, a Romance, By the author of
-" The SoutArest" and 'Laftlc." vols. IL mo. Har-
per and Brothers. .# IT,.
Ingrahams ne,c Historical Romance of :" Burton or
the Sieges" is at length ready for sale The author
has, in this work, added to his previously high re-
putation, as it is even more interesting than LATTE
and, in style, more finished than all his previous
writings. 1t takes up the period when Montgomery
led his troops to the walls of Quebec and closes the
first volume with the result of that disastrous cam
paign. The second volume opens in New York
city, and ends with the evacuation Of ii by the Bri-
tsh troops. The hero OF the Novel, Edward Burton,
is no other than Aaron Burr whose early career in
war and love is here faithfully drawn. The hero
inc is Eugene de Lisle a Nun Of 50. 1Here@-who
elopes with Burton. But no analysis of the work
can do justice to its merit and beauty. It will be
read with thrilling interest, and secure to its author
abiding fame.
