W..\KMSTREY. By Phihp Sheldon, 



3 vols. ^ 



" In the delineation of idiosyncrasy, special and 

 particular, and its effects on the lives of the per- 

 sonages of the story, the author may, without 

 e.xag-jferation, be said to be masterly. Whether 

 in the long-drawn-out development of character, 

 or in the description of peculiar qualities in a 

 single pointed sentence, he is equally skilful, 

 while, where pathos is necessary, he has it at com- 

 mand, and subdued, sly humour is not wanting."
