THE MAGDALEN AND OTHER TALES.

THESE tales by Mr. SHERIDAN KNOWLES have nearly all, if not all, appeared before in Magazines and the Annuals. Nothing of the kind is stated either in the titlepage or in a preface. We see nothing in them for which they are entitled to the honours of republication. They passed very well in their original shape of Magazine Tales, and that ought to have contented their author.
