The Man of Many Daughters. By the late Madame Clara

de Chitelain. (Griffith and Farran.)—This novel was first published twenty-four years ago, and had then a certain success, which was not undeserved. The story is a farce, rather than a comedy. The haughty peer, Lord' Sherrydown, is a quite impossible person ; nor can the incident of: four of his seven daughters running away to be married be said to be within the boundaries of actual life. But the book is very amusing,. and instructive withal.
