TIE DEVILS POOL BIZ GEoHcE SAND; Translated
By r g SHAW. w. II Grsbsm. p cents.
Those who imagine whether from its own name
or that Of its author that there must be something
dabolical in the character Of this book. will be
greatly disappointed on reading it There is not
line scene or a sentiment in it that the most fas-
tidious could object to. II opens, isdeed, with
vivid and truthful statement Of the general condi-
ton of the Laboring Class especially IN Europe
but as the author proposes remedies hints at
none. and is so far from being Fourierite' that
she seems to have no defnitive practical ideas as
to the way in which the evils abe sees are 20 be
overcome, we presume no objection will be taken
to this. All beyond it is tale of rural life and love
in OF the provinces Of Frsnce-pure, serious
and tender as Love need to be. The story. though
short is good one the diction is noble as is the
case with all this authors writings but in the alb
sence of all trenching on forbidden ground, We
presume it will not win so general perusa as
some Of its predecessors have done.
