Life of Lord Byron and other Sketches.
By EMILIO CASTELAR, Translated by
Mrs. ARTHUR ARNOLD. New York: HAIR
PER Il BRcTHERs.sf e.'
CASTELAR, was, like LAMARTINE, thrown to.
the top of civil copyulsion in the rising OF
the people against their ruler. AS LAaAR-
TINE was put at the head of the popular
government in France, so was CASTELAR, put
ut the head of that of Spain when the
throne was emptied. The fates OF both
were much alike. Their descent from
power was not unlike, and each proved to
be far more capable of infaming the public
mind than Of directing public affairs and
pacifying the elemeots they were 80 capable
of tx :iting into storm. The literary field
proved 10 he that best suited to both of them.
LAMARrNE possessed, perhaps, more solidity
than CASTELAR,; and we think CASTELAR, is
rather brighter genius than LAMART1NE was.
The life of Lord BYRON is the best of themes
for CASTELAR,, and we have not doubt he
has illuminated it. AS BYRoN's greatest
work was written under the inspiration of
the ardent sun Of Spain, and her balmy and
spiced gales, amid her dark eyes and Ian.
gushing and fascinating beauties, We are
sure that in the gifted son of that charming
land is found his most ardent and ingenious
historian. ..- -... ,..
