uARRINGToN, STORY OF TRUE LOVE.
By the author OF ''What Cheer &c. Bos-
ton: Thayer & Eldridge, publishers. This
book, which came to us from the publishers,
some days since, will have from us a more ex-
tended notice, when we have read it all careful
ly. 1t is one Of those books which can not fall
from the press stillborn. 1t is too full of life
and power, too noticeable every way to es.
cape attention. The Saturday Evening Ga.
zette describes it as the chest anti. t.slavery nov
el that has been written,-better than Uncle
Tom" But it is romance rather than novel,
delineation of the authors ideal, rather than
a portraiture Of real character, so far at least
as the hero Harrington, is concerned. And
yet actual life, and even the personalities of
the time, are woven into it. The most captous
and prejudiced critic will not deny that there
| Is in this romance a remarkable and very ad.
mirable power. The author has put into the
book all his enthusiasms, ,admirations, dislikes,
iavorite theories, and beliefs. Whoever reads
the book will be well acquainted with the au-
thor. We believe he is destined to win a fore
most place in our literature.

town life of their time. Published by the

death, to create considerable interest in his
character and career and he was sufficiently
in the confidence of the southern fiibusters to
make a faithful record of his life, from the
! time OF the Mexican war to his death, some
thing more than mere personal history. For
