NEW BOOKS.

DAVENPORT DUNN, A MAN OF OUR DAY,
BY Charles Lever. For sale by Hickey, Mallory
Webb, Cincinnati.
The reputation of Charles Lever is worldwide,
The popularity of his novels, "Charles O'Malley,"
'Jack Hinton" "Harry Lorrequer," and others, has
scarcely been exceeded by those of Charles Dickens
while they far eclipse the writings of Ainsworth and
Thackery in the favor Of the reading world. The
present novel is tho most natural and perfect of
Levers works. 1t is full of his genial humor, brill
liant wit and speaking Daguerreotypes of striking
characters; while In force and vividness Of descrip
ton 1t exceeds all lie has hitherto written.
