    delicious scenery ; the lovely and lonely old hamlet church and churchyard ; the rustic paradise of a parsonage ; the old hall and all its attributes and dependencies . She brings before you , in all their varieties ,, and with all their touching or amusing histories , the country people . Her account of the parsonage of

    Broad Summerford , the family and habits of the family , —( meaning , we believe , those of that very excellent , and venerable man , the Rev . Wm . Gilpin , the author of c Forest Scenery / and the descendant and biographer of the truly great . Bernard Gilpin , ' the Apostle of the North /)—are more perfect and delightful of the kind than anything that we know of , not excepting the sketches of Washing-ton Irving . So is the account of ' Halliburn

    Hall , ' the dilapidated seat of the ancient family of the De la Veres ; no lovers of truly English scenery and character can read them without remembering them for ever . But beyond these , there are three stories of the intensest interest and the highest moral inculcation . We wish every fashionable family , who have not polished out of their hearts all human nature , would read

    that of the ' Swiss Governess / Could they be made sensible of the miseries inflicted on this country by aristocratic pride , what a change ., full of happiness , might be wrought to others and—to themselves . We wish any young person would read the Grave of the Broken Heart /—what agonies might be prevented by sternly adhering to principle , in spite of present solicitations ! But every man , woman , and child should read the tale of * A n-

    drew Cleaves . ' It is an awful story !—and the working of it out displays an intellectual vigour truly wonderful . The operation of parental affections—the breaking down of the stern , hard nature of the man by calamity—the wringing out , as it were , the tears of grief , and the groans of contrition , from the oaken heart

    of avarice , worldly pride , and rigid self-righteousness , are terrible , yet admirable , to contemplate . We must now , for the present , say to Caroline Bowles farewell ; and we do it , sadly querying , at the same time , whether failing health and domestic sorrows will allow us ever to receive fresh proofs of so powerful a spirit , and such quick sensibilities enshrined in so delicate a fratxie ? William Howitt .
