Thus ends what cannot but esteem the best his
torcal romance not only of Italy, but Of our times.
This little sketch we have made gives, however,
but poor idea of the work. but in this short space,
we could give nothing better. Indeed, so crowded
is the work with deep and stirring incident so nu-
merous and marked are the characters who figure In
its scenes, and so rapid is the transition from one
scene to another that no general description can do
justice to the story 1t must be read from beginning
to end and we do not believe any man can read the
first chapter without reading on, and reading it
through. A certain critic has complained that the
book lacks "autorial commaut"--raher muddy

incident" And what else, in the name Of Walter
Scott, would you have in an Historical romance! This
is just what an historical romance is written for says
Macaulay
We do not know how this work reads in Italian;
and it is matter of little consequence to us on this
side of the water. We know, however, that in
English it reads like the rapid iervid, deep style of
an earnest, and perhaps a too impetuous writer.
Part of this is, perhaps attributable to the author
and, from the bold, dashng character OF his style,
we should be inclined TO lay some share of it at the
door of the translator. Such dear general, is at
least the opinion of your faithful
