ess of Sweetwater'' is that the characters
are never unnatural nor the incidents i'm
I probable. We know no American novels;
| who has stronger power of holding his
reader enchained by the stirring and life
like incidents of the narrative, or who can
| individualize his characters mo.e distinct.
| ~. than the author Of this work. The
| heroine 10 one Of those rare characters,
| sometimes met with in the practical world,
who combine all the wOmanly virtues to
be found in the highest degrees OF life with
that moral courage and bravery SO often
brought forth in the trying times which
preceded the independence Of the country.
The "Uncle Lawrence" of the author is a
most charming specimen of the yeomanry
of the olden time. All the characters
are real persons. acting naturally and
properly. Every scene is painted vividiy
and graphically, and the reader seems
moving among living persons and spec.
tator of scenes of actual occurrence. It is

novel published for many years, and justly
places its author at the very head Of the
popular romance writer's Of the day in this
country. This is saying a good deal: but
