Walter Deverell ; a Domestic Tule. In 3 vols. As

a picture of real life or character, this novel is altogether improbable, not to use a harsher term ; but it is not ill put together, or without interest as a mere circulating library affair ; nor is the writer de- void of a certain degree of power and even pathos. Pity that he had not taste and knowledge, with a larger experience, to work upon.
