MISS SEDGWICK'S LETTERS.

Letters from Abroad to Kindred at Home. By Miss C.
M. Sedgwick. 2 vols. 12mo. Muslin gilt. $1 90.

Miss Sedgwick has far exceeded her predecessors; for they only described
characters and scenes, while she has carried her researches into
the parlours, nay, into the very pantries of private individuals. Miss
Sedgwick occupies a high position in America, not merely as an ornament
of its world of light literature, but as a moral teacher.—London Athenaum.
