title of novel with very attractive ap-

OF the above novels, "Cyri!la" will be
new to most of our readers. Though it has
been in print some time, it will continue to
be read, like the novels of Scott and Dick
ems. for years to come. The author is a
daughter of the celebrated Lord Erskine,
formerly Lord High Chancellor of Eng
| land. She was educated in Great Britain.
| but since her marriage to Baron Tautphoeus
she has resided on the continent, and has
the faculty either natural or acquired, OF
| depicting life scenes with rare fidelity and
| absorbing interest.
