| The LIFE AND BEAUTIES OF FANNY FERN.-We
have read this work, and are perfectly disguised
with the literary thief, who edited it. We cannot
comprehend how a man Of any feeling can steal
~,
for her support, and ell the greater part Of work
with them, under the pretence of giving life of
Fanny Fern. Most of this book is made up of
pieces of Fanny Fern, that have already been
published, and of criticisms on her, that have pre-
viously appeared in the Northern papers. The un-
justifable course of Fanny Fern in holding up to
public condemnation, her own father and brother,
by no means justifes so mean revenge, as to seek
to deprive her of her gains by publishing her
writings under the false pretence Of giving her life.
It is evident that this book was gotten up for the
Purpose of pecuniary speculation, and it places its
author very low in the scale of generosity. An
attack upon woman never meets the sympathy
Of mankind, particularly when tits made anonymous
ly. The feelings of our heart rise up naturally
against Fanny Fern for having publicly sought to
njure her own father, no matter how much he might
have erred. A fial spirit would have sought to
have concealed his faults; but at the same time it
is contemplate to make source of revenue out of
her faults Although we censure Fanny Fern for
her errors, still we admit she is woman Of very
fo1a 1.-Two To
the commission of an act of flia impiety which her
better judgment must condemn. -
