Nellie Netterville ; or, One of the Transplanted. A Tale.

(Barns, 'Oates, and Co.)—We were almost afraid to open the pages of this story when we read in the preface that the scene was Ireland, and the time .Cromwell's " transplantation." But we were agreeably surprised to find the book wholly free from sensational bigotry, written in a moderate tone, and marked by scenes of considerable interest. The rescue of the heroine from the burning church and the perilous climb down an almost perpendicular cliff must especially be praised.
