Mack HuRDLzsToNE; Oh THE Two BROTHERS,
BY Mrs MoopIE-New York: DEWITT a. DAvEN.
PoRT.-We are indebted to Mr.. L. L. Smith of the
Periodical Depot, opposite American Hotel, for a
copy of this new novel. Mrs. Noodle is the sister
of Agnes Strickland, the well known author Of the
lives ofthe Queens of England, and is lady of some
literary fame, having written two or more works of
fiction that grew quite popular, viz: The canadian
Crusoe" and "Roughing it in the Bush" The pre-
sent work-Mark Hurdlestone, is represented to be
novel of deep interest. The style is that of vigo.
rous simplicity that would naturally in the absence
of tn name of the authoress be attributed to a
manly, rather than the female PEN 1t is ranked by
more than one critic with the works Of Mrs Marsh
and Currer Bell-with what just ce, however, can
not say, as we have not read it as yet.
Messrs Dewitt Davenport, have issued the
book in the most creditable manner.
The work is also for sale by Mr.. Eddins. under
the American, who has sent as copy.
