HARPER's MAGAZINE FOR APRIL, is invested
with special interest as containing the first
chapters Of Denis Duyal," the last and an I'M
finished work Of Thackeray, The story will be
continued, as far as written, in Other Numbers Of
Harptr's and we have Charles Dickenss author
ity for saying that, "by reason Of the singular
construction Of the story, more than one main
incident usually belonging to the end of such a
fiction IS anticipated in the beginning, and thus
there is an approach to completeness in the frag.
ment, as to the satisfaction Of the readers mind
concerning the most interesting persons, which
could hardly have been better attained if the wli-
ters breaking off had been foreseen.'
