has produced an excitement & enthusiasm, which
seldom has been equalled even in the French
capital. The office of the journal which issued
the story, was thronged by crowds of anxious
readers on the day of its publication - it was
caught up with the greatest avdity at the hotels
and public libraries orders came in for it from

tears by brain fever which attacked the author.

and the taste for The refined, will find in il source
for its qualification.
Apowerlul intellect is displayed in the arrange
ment of the plot. No one can foresce, from the
commencement, what is TO be the end. The au-

and in bringing an adventure to termination
which they could not anticipate.
In point of morality, the work is unexcepton-

sons OF charity forgiveness, and mercy in strains
more impressive and eloquent than any homy
