(This unpretending volume belongs to the class of "art novels," of which Germany (after the example of Heinse's "Ardinghello") has furnished so many specimens, and of which "Charles Auchester" and " Counterparts" are well-known instances in English literature. A very sweet and wholesome book it is, as free from the snobbishness as it is from the morbid sentimentalism that taints so much of recent fiction; and—what especially recommends it in our estimation — truly and thoroughly American, even to the "box of candies" with which Uncle Phil entertains his lady-friends on an evening visit. The absence of divisions seems to us a defect, not a very serious one, but still a defect. How easy it would have been to give the story an epistolary form, which is always pleasing in works of this sort when a lady writes, and which the flowing, chipper, yet graceful style of the author so readily suggests!)
