TIE writer Of this volume is already fa'orably
known TO The public BY several highly piquaut
contributions 10 the Atlantic Monthly, and We
believe. al.u 10 some other periodicals OF the day.
The name on tie title page is evidently a
pseulonym, and Of The personality Of the n'ithor
We know nothing, exccp. from certain Subjective
hints scattered through different portions Of the
volume and especially tie o.. Ice. W. infer from
them that the writer j. woman, Tat She chal-
lcu1cs pet "a. her ucogn;o, that she Is ia-
rr liar WIKI the rural ITO Of New England; wh.lr
from the book ifsrif We have ample evidence Of her
originality u loriht, her rare keenn,ss of olser-
walton. her fertility o, expression and Illustration,
and Ter singular blending Of genuine comic hunor
with Tie habit oil profound aao intense reelection.
4 striking feature of these cfsays is their tone If
healthy aud natural froahl,s,. They o0en cy-
libit il is true vein Of play cztrayaganesi TIE

chcon.y on through every alienation OF feeling

with tho be-t literature aal especially with tho

plan Of tho writer, who loves TO sport with he
theme, and never wearcs Of tossing ani catching

come thi book with thc most cordil pui'e. Il

cess Il difficult; and If We should hear 10 more Of

having left so handsome maik on orr current
