we commenced the publication, in the November
number of Graham's Magazine, of new novel BY
James Fennmore Cooper entitled THE 1SLETS
OF THE GULF Sea Novel, written in the
very best vein of that accomplished novelist This
Story which Is intended to bring out the authors
brilliant covers in the description of Sea Scenes
and incidents, while il will describe most power
fully nautical adventures and engagements, has Q
delightful vein of sentiment running through the
entire work. The heroine, 'RosE,' is one of tho
sweetest characters ever drawn by Mr.. Cooper.
and one Of the odd Salts has vein of humor and
home-spun philosophy equal to 'Natty Bumpo' ID
his best days. This novel will run through IL or
IA numbers of 'Graham,' and we predict for Il
run uncqualled by any thing Cooper has eyss
written.
