side. BY Rev. Joseph J. Nicholson. New York.
Dana Co. London Sampson, Low d Go.
We have to thank the author for a renewed IN
PRODUCTION to o valued, if nos very old, friend,
for the g Blemmertons has been now several
years before the public, having been issued
in 1856 and at that time enlsting the high faycr
which it has since retained and added to. we are
pleased that we again have occasion to speak the
good Of it which is its. due. Mr.. Nicholson is .
southeTner, a Mobilian--being one of the shining
array of authors Of our neghbor city to which the
South is indebted for large proportion Of its best
and most humor-conferring literature, to high
place amid which is his book entitled. He il d
Protestant Episcopal clergyman, and the principal
| of an educational institute Of high standing near
| Mobile.
a The Blemmertons Y is o work which, while
treating, in the main, Of the thoughts feelings and
doings Of Episcopalians ia addressed to the read
ing of persons Of all denominations, and cannot
but be perused with both enjoyment and advan-
tage We cordially commend the book as belong
ing to litere&Ee of that healthy and moral charac
! ter which is pfacng the auttor-Work Of the South
in such honorable contrast with the Aashy and
unwholesome stnff that is produced at the North
in such lamentable profusien, and overflows into
our country in book-form or through the columns
oBpyriad newspapers.
