LAMERTINE's History OF TuRKRY.-New
York: D. Appleton 8. Co.-This work OF
Lamertine, the poet historian, and the histo
rian poet, has attracted much interest in lite
rary circles. 1t is contained in three vol.
umes, the first of which has been issued
In handsome style, by Appleton. The
work win doubtless have great rum but
tho reader ;Fill hardly trust himself to it
with the confidence due to q truthful histo-
ry. II has so much the air of romance from
the style the author arrays it in, that it reads
more like . novel than history. We copy
from Il elsewhere . sketch Of the present
Satan. The relation the ruler of Turkey
sustains towards the great events 10 Europe,
gives to this sketch additional interest.
