Part 25 (1/2)

”I have read the MS. of ”The p.a.w.nbroker.” Its princ.i.p.al scenes are laid in New York, s.h.i.+fting occasionally to New Orleans. It is written with great force, pathos, and ingenuity; and I have no hesitation in prophesying that it will be ranked with ”The Lamplighter” and ”The Wide, Wide World.” Throughout the work a moral lesson is pointed; and although prolific in pictures of the most exciting nature, probability is never outraged by the introduction of mysterious impossibilities. It cannot fail of meeting with a large sale, and enviable popularity.”

EMBELLISHED WITH ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR ILl.u.s.tRATIONS, BY JOHN MCLENAN.

As a History of the Country, this book is invaluable, inasmuch as it notices a great many events not mentioned by Bancroft, Hildreth, or Prescott. As a Novel, it is unapproachable, for it contains several characters unknown to Cooper, d.i.c.kens, Marryatt, or Bulwer. As a Mythological Work, it should be immediately secured, as it makes mention of a number of G.o.ds and deified worthies. .h.i.therto unknown to old Jupiter himself. As a Poem, its claims to consideration can not be denied, as it comprises a great many beauties not discoverable in ”The Song of Hiawatha,” besides several Indian names which were therein omitted.
