There is no deep thought In Washington IryIng's
works. aud lac Ia anything but accurate aud
J1alrlsiaGing historian, yet people love the style
There iE about the Sketch Book - snoh delicate
play Gf hnmDF. mixed with patiios, hs no other
American author ias yet approached. How genial
aud com panioBHbe lac Isl One feels that lac is be-
ARg talked 10 by Of the most entertaining of
men. Alter tbe pOnderons history the great
theological volume has been closed, nothing can
delight than the patl,os of 'Ifural Fnner-
ais" OF tiie wit Of Sleepy Hollow" They enter
tain. There be sentiment there Is eonieiitinent
there II fancy, there Is the bright side Of life there
" tile silver lining 10 the apparently dark cloud
Washington Living, with his simple ways IL one
OF flie genial TneD that has made the world better
To the e. q. Just commencing course of English
literature. or who desire 10 begin reading standard
literature, can recommend nothing better than
the Sketch Book, !" "Alhnmhra" or BracebFidge
