to 'all and sundrj',' is well contrived. The hero of 
the book, Gideon Giles, is an honest, plain, hard-work- 
ins; Englishman: but our hero is Ben lirust, a jolly 
fellow, with the heart of a man, and the appetite of 
three — who hates work, and the saving of money."

eloquence, and elegance of style, which have rarely

" There is a charm associated with the very name 
of Mrs. Opie ; the cau.se of sound English literature 
will be much advanced by her writings, and they will 
be appreciated wherever the English language is 
spoken." — Morning Chronicle. 
" This is a repulilication of the best of Mrs. Opie's 
"vorks. She possesses the double merit of enforcing a 
most useful truth, and exemplifying it in a tale 
abounding in natural and touching scenes of the family 
■ life of English gentlemen. From one end of her works 
to the other, we see nothing to object to. She excels 
most of her contemporaries in sound judgment and 
propriety in her characters and manners."
