HER, brighter and pleasanter than his two former
works were though they were full of undoubted pow
n aud originality There are some capital charac-
ers in this book and they have the rare merit of be-
ng new and true. Mr.. Collins has real dramatic
strength, and can evolve character by tM words he
puts into its mouth which is a scarce faculty. 1t

but il is not easy to make character develop itself
before you, and live its life in your presence. Mr.
Collins has both sparkling surface and tragic depth
emotion. Altogether, this is one of the few novels
worth reading.
The descriptions of England and the English given
by their countrymen to the French people are often
very delicious and intensely amusing but they sell
dom racy as those given in Journey of Troubles
" to London" by Jules Lecomte. He pronounces
his yeraciOus verdict and our manners from the
observatory of London lodging house in Wimpole. st
He found London sterile in all that
is intellectual elegant and artistic indeed he declares
that everything in London is either iron or coal We
have neither art literature. All distinguished
men are only humble and distant imitatOrs of ilustri-
ous sons Of La Grade Nation Our best painters are
only reproducers of the French in shadow. "Sr Col

There is one very popular error that he does not per-
