LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF MARTIN CHUzzIKwTr.
by Charles Dickens, Esq.-The first part of this
new work by Boz, has just been issued by Wincbes-
ter, of the New World" As il costs abou, three
cents and will be in every body's hand, we need
not trouble ourselves by giving any outline of the
character and plot Of Martins Adventures so far az
developed in these Introductory chapters. We do
not think, however, from the specimen before W.

humor which so highly characterized some of his
former productions, but the style is generally abour-
ed, and is often very pointless and very dull.

worthy OF companlo nshp With bissccomPlished and
such ffaterng reception from the public DR. L.

Mr. Dickens. In humor, pathos, and skill in the de-

raj scenery, and vigorous development OF incidens
