The vital power of TINS story rests upon its con-
strughtforwarduess with which the purpose of the
plp; Is carried into effect. Mrs. Burnett follows no
plccodens she Is true to the pIomptlugs of her own
gouu, IN the idea OF her novel and the manner Of
It's execution; her stylc the fruit OF natural feel
lng and though highly artistic in tone. her nara
i've Is siugulariy artlcss in construction. She
possesses IN an eminent degree, the gilt of tem-
prIauce in the utterancc of passion Her
story is never Overland with an cXuberance
of words. Evcryv here there aIe traces of
deep feeling. never an excess of color
Ing. The pathos. n, well as the humor of the work,
is presented under soft and delicate veil There
are no hcl-,oaring flights. TO spasms of rapture OF
IF gloom. 10 pomp of language To conceal
poverty OF thought. MIS-. Burnett shows a
remarkable freedom from mNicty q, to the effect Of
her descriptions. Ina ncr most imprisoned scenes.
her language often has the precision OF a scientific
treatise She relies the hard facts of her naIri-
tive, not on any iliusvc embellishments The SENSE

never fails To stop when She Is done HE produce

To our imaginative literature, and suggests the
