This novel is marked in an eminent degree by
the characteristic merits Of Mr.. Trollope as a
chaste yet vigorous free yet faithful deneator Of
human nature as exhibited in individuals, and as
developed in social customs, conventions aad
classifcations. He does not run into exaggera-
ton of language or action, for the sake of sensa
ton or caricature. He manages to enlist curiosity
and sympathy without shocking the Judgment,
and some of his hits at current shams and follies
display fine talent for satire.
