TIE ALcHEN1sr, OR THE House OF CLAEs.-From the
French of II. DE BALZAC Translated by O. W WIGHT
and F. B. GOODRICH. VOL I2mo., 1851.
As a truthful and mastery delineator of human
nature, Balzac, ifnot unequal lis certainly
passed by any novelist of the present or former
days. The blind fascination with which the scien-
tifc enthusiastic pursues his search, and the ten
dcrness and devotion manifested to his really obe
nature by those around him are portrayed in this
novel with more than usual vigor and delicacy.

voyage ola few weeks during the summer
months among the icebergs off the northern coast
of this Continent gave rise to this readable volume.
The painter Church-after having enriched his
portfolio with studies of South American scenery,
the fruits Of which ne gave to the world in his ia
nous picture of ''the Heart ofthe Andes" and with
sketches of scenery within the limits OF the United
States which furnished him materie for his ''Nia-
CARA" and "Twiight in the Wilderness" bethought
himself of a novel field for the exercise of his ex-
traordinary skill as a colorist.-
! He determined upon a visit to the cebergs which
came floating down from the Arctic ocean to the
bleak coast Of Labrador and Newfoundland, and
| finally melt away under the warmth of the summer
| sun and of the waters of the Gulf stream. Mr..
Noble accompanied the painter, and what he has
discovered, Church has illustrated in the book be-
| fore us. The Incidents of such voyage are not
many, but Mr. Noble has contrived to make the
most of them. His account of the simple mode OF
life of The Labrador fishermen, of their brief sum
mer of ninety days, of the wonderful beauty Of the
moses, the fragrance of the flowers and of the
miniature pine forests, ranging from six inches to
three feet in height, over which he strobe in his
rambes on shore, will not be found the least in
terestng portion of the volume. The illustrations
by Church scarcely give more than course idea
oftbe "bergs" which they represent,or of what we
imagine them really to be as described bv Mr.
