THE POETRY OF LIFE,
by Sarah Stickney.
“Poetry has been to me its
own `exceeding great reward.'
It has soothed my afflictions, it
has multiplied and refined my
enjoyments; it has endeared solitude,
and it has given me the
habit of wishing to discover the
good and the beautiful in all that
meets and surrounds me.”
—Coleridge

to point out the fair works of the
Creator to their grateful admiration,
and to draw many delightful
and useful lessons from his
wonderful and beneficent arrangement
of the varying seasons.”

CLINTON BRADSHAW;
or, The Adventures of a Lawyer.
The New York American thus
closes a notice of Clinton Bradshaw:—“The
author of Clinton
Bradshaw has, we think, avoided,
if we may so speak, this literary
error of the day; he has had the
boldness not only to describe society
as it may fall within the observation
of the majority of his
readers, but to be natural in the
description; and herein lies the
peculiar charm of the work—it
is so natural we think it must be
true; neither is it wanting in
pathos or power.”
Dr. Bird.
THE HAWKS OF HAWK
HOLLOW. A Tradition of
Pennsylvania. By the author of
“Calavar” and “The Infidel.”
In 2 vols. 12 mo.
“We have heretofore seen the genius
of Dr. Bird pourtraying the adventures
of the Spanish conquerors, and delineating
the haughty heroes of old romance;
but in the Hawks of Hawk Hollow, we
have men and women of every day life,
in whose adventures we can lose ourselves.
The mingled yarn, too, is well
made up; romantic incident, sentiment,
pathos, humour, and the terrific, combine
in the incidents, as we feel they
must combine in similar circumstances.”
—Traveller.
