~ MATILDA, or the Memoirs of a Young
Woman, by EuoESE STE, translated by H. w.
HERsERr," is issuing by Winchester in Parts the

whose name Justly holds a high place in our Lit
erature, vouches strongly for the moral character
OF the work; for Its tragic depth Of interest ant

sufficient guaranty. The story we learn, is
that Of young woman thrown upon the world.

tails Of the Vice and Crime every where existing.
under thin disguises of decency and fashion, and
throws urid, volcanic light into some of the
darkest recesses of Society, exposing its guilt, in
Justice and indictments to Wrong and Crime
Such work as this will exert saIutary effect on
strong, well-balanced minds, by mpelling them to
think and act on the evils whose frightful abysses
it mcovers; but we fear the class which reads
merely to be amused, or to g oat over details OF
Licentousness and Vice. will rise from its perusal
rather melted to the evil it depicts than the good
it pleads for. This objection, however, applies to
History as we'll as Fiction, and perhaps to Sacred
History the same as any other.
The book is neatly printed in an octave form,
and the conclusion will be published in a few days.
TIE CAPITALIST or, FORTUNES FRoLlc A
ROMANCE OF HIGH LIFE.-Ths is well written
story, put in cheap pamphlet form. The moral
Of the tale is good and it is spced with genuine
wit. 1t is evidently written by man of good
sense, which we consider the highest compliment
we could pay to most Of the cheap tales that arc
at present constantly thrown off in such large
quantities from the press.
