Lnttrell of Arran. By Charles Lever. 



" Nor can we pass from the consideration of Mr. Lever's earlier 

 romances without according our cordial approbation of the admirable 

 ballads, fighting songs, and drinking songs, which are interspersed 

 throughout the pages of those books. These songs are full of spirit — 

 they have all the drollery, dash, and devilry peculiar to the land of the 

 shamrock and the shillelah. If they have here and there a flavour of 

 poteen, the scent of the heather and the breath of the mountain breeze 

 are equally strong in them. It is almost impossible to read them 

 without singing them, and almost impossible to hear them sung without 

 wishing to fight, drink, or dance." (89)

 A Love Story.

"A tale of English domestic life. The writing is very good, 

 graceful, and unaffected ; it pleases without startling. In the dialogue, 

 people do not harangue, but talk, and talk naturally." — Critic. (289;
