    must leave the reader , to find out . The novel though improbable in some respects , is in others , so exceedingly clever that we can warmly

    recommend its perusal—more especially , we would add , by the lovers of religious literature , to the general run of which it is markedly superior .

    From Messrs . J . & B . Maxwell . —Mr . Charles Gibbons has done better work than * Garvoek , '

    his latest three-volume novel . The plot is somewhat intricate , but we may say that it chiefly hinges on the enmity of Elskar , the Gipsy Queen ,

    for the Earl of Arndale , whose father , in days gone by , was the means of depriving her of both husband and child . In . her scheme of revenge

    she is assisted by one Murchie—real name , Glegg Elmer—* a small decrepit man / with * red tiger eyessulltn cat-like mannerand the crawling

    , , movement of the snake , ' who of course , as a gentleman of such attributes should , forms a very prominent personage in the narrative .

    Eventually , however , matters all come right ; villainy is discomfited , and the good characters once more reign triumphant . We have said we do not

    consider Mr . Gibbons ' s book up to the standard of his former novels , and in all fairness we can pronounce no other verdict ; but for all that

    lovers of sensational fiction should find it inter- , esting , seeing that in the special commodity of which they are so fond it deals in no stinting

    manner . From ----- — - - Mr — ¦ ¦ ' — ¦ . George i ^ ¦ ¦ h ^^^ ^^^^ m ~^" Hedway ~> ' ¦^ i ¦ ^ ^^ ^ " ^ ' — ^^ h ^ . —There ^ " - — ' - »» ^^^ i is ^— —^ ^ no ^ pp — ^ r more ^^^ ^ ^^^ V * ^ H ^
