My NovsL: OR, VARIETIES IN BNaLIsH LIFR. BY
Sir &. Buwer Lytton. New York: The Harpers
For salo by Pranck Taylor. Penn. av
Part lst Of this novel; now in course of pub
hcation in Blackwood's, has been reprinted by
the Harpers, as portion Of their Library of
Select Novels. The author in this publication
seems to be following out the same rich vein
he hit upon in the Caxtons
History OF EuRoPE, from the Fall of Napoleon in
1914 to the Ascension of Louis Napoleon in 1852
BY Sir Archibald Alison. Vol. l. Published and
for sale above
The work will doubtless be mastery one,
if not an exponent Of the liberal ideas of the
age. The era Of which he treats, extending
from 1915 to 1852, has been marked by won
derful events, brought about more by the
operations of Moral Power than Brute Force.
1t is to appear, if we may judge from the pre-
face, in five volumes, embracing as many dis
tinct periods The W ter is q man of decided
views and prejudioes, but always finds readers,
if not disciples. He has made no attempt he
says, to disguise his own opinions, "but he has
not exerted himself the less anxiously to give
with all the force and clearness in his power
those which are adverse"
The Harpers have issued part first, contain
ing the first volume of tho Edinburgh Review.
