This has peculiar interest as the last novel
written by Lever; and from the fact that in its
dedication to the memory of his wife he spoke
of himself as in broken health and spirits from
that loss, and expressed the hope that this effort
might be his last. As In the case of Dickens,
the later works of Lever lacked somew what of the
rollicking humor and viyacity of his early
novels, such as " Charles O'Malley," Harry
Lorrequer," &c; but what was lost in this re-
spect was gained in vigor and depth, and in
these particulars Lord Kilgobbin" is up to his
best mark.

Our readers will remember the interest excited
by the scientific experiments in Psychic Force,
conducted with the aid of certain mech anical
tests by Mr.. CroOkes, F. r. S., in the presence
OF Dr. Higgins, f. Il. s., and DIR. Cox. II has
been claimed that these distinguished scientists
were converted by the results of these expert
ments to the creed of spiritualism. The object
was the fact. The experiments proved conclu
sively that the force supposed by many to be
spiritual is in fact force proceeding from the
human organism.
