WHAT SAW IN LONDON. By DAVID w BARTLETT.
limo PIP. 3z. Auburn: Derby Miller.
Books of travels need not lose their in
terest, because they traverse familiar ground any
more than the conversation Of lively and cordial
talker on familiar subject. Indeed there is al
ways fresh pleasure in noticing the impressions
made by the same objects on different minds and
scarcely anything is read with more avidity than
the descriptions of every day scenes in our own
country by foreign travellers. IL would seem that
little remained to be said about the British me-
tropolis but let visit that city with his
eyes open, and frankly tell what he has seen, he
will be sure to find a listening audience. The
present volume makes little pretension to original
ty-it displays nothing OF the pride OF authorship
but still il has a freshness and animation in its
narratives that quite attractiye,--and coming
from one of the youngest writers who has ever bray-
ed the pers of the press, has air of ndivdual
ty, that cannot fail to progresses the reader in it's
favor. The author enjoyed good opportunities for
observation and has turned them to excellent ac-
count. In the autumn of lS47, at the age of ninc-
teen, he sailed from Boston for Liverpool and re-
sided in London for year, and in the July OF
1850, he sailedfrom New-York to Liverpool and
ing in England utter his first voyage, he got his
first taste of English manners on his journey by
rail from Liverpool to London. Ills impression
