impossible for him to portray the eccen-
trio and diverse characters which he had
introduced; many conjectured that a story
with such an exciting commencement,
could not be sustained with corresponding
interest. "Where will he lead US tol"-

For the copyright. Mademoiselle La
Normand, celebrated depineresse, who
revealed to Napoleon, to Josephine, and TO
Robespierre their respective destinies, is
said to have recently exclaimed during
her dying agonies, that her sole regret IN
death was, that she could not read the con-
GLIDING numbers Of the "Mysteries Of
Paris"
The novel certainly cxcitcs the most in
tense and startling interest. If the read
or viii peruse one number, we have no fear
but that he will call for second, however
much Of interest is lost by the translation,
AS the tale proceeds, he will be introduced
10 every diversity Of scene, from the most
narrowing to the most touching-to every
variety of character, from the most degra'
ded 10 the most spiritual. The taste fol
the horrible, and the taste for the refined
will find in it source Of qualification.
A powerful intellect is displayed in the
arrangement Of the plot. No one car
forcsce, from the commencement, what il
TO be the end. The author delights il
taking his readers by surprise, and il
bringing an adventure TO Termination
J. which they could not anticipate.
g In point OF morality, the work is unes
!. ceptionable. II incucates, BY some OF II
J episodes, lessons of charity, forgiveness
and mercy, in strains more impressive an
eloquent than any homily. EUGENE ST.
