THE WORST NOVEL OF THE SEASON.*

WE will not pretend to have read the whole of Florence, or the As- pirant : we found it a task beyond our limited powers. This being the case, we ought, perhaps, to say nothing about it: we confess, however, that we felt called upon strongly to advise the author to change his or her occupation, and the publishers to repress as far as they can the pro- pagation of trash.
