Ok, SKETCHES OF LIFE IN VIRGINIA, by LAURENCE NEVILLE.— $1. 



" This is a new novel, from the pea of a Virginian whose nomine de plume is Laurence Nevilxk, Tfce 

 plan of the writer is most successful, and with some qualification it may pe pronounced one ©f thg very 

 best novels of the day. The writer devotes himself with a little too much pertinacity to the portraHare 

 of social life, and therefore the story is somewhat overloaded. This defect is pardonable, and detracts 

 but little from the interest of the book, which is characterised by decided talent, and whose portraitures 

 show that they are drawn by the hand of a man of genius. "We commend it to all lovers of _ctiok. 



' : A most interesting fact concerning this book is, that it is not only issued under the auspices of a 

 Virginia publisher, but is really printed and bound in Virginia. J. V/. Randolph is the publisher, a:ad 

 Chas. H. Wynne of this city is the printer. The letter press of this book is not surpassed by that of 

 any novel oi the day. It is admirable, and reflects the highest credit upon the typographical art ia Vir- 

 ginia. In the present juncture of our national affairs, this additional proof of the ability ol'.i&e S&adi to 

 do its own priming, is peculiarly gratifying." — Richmond Dispatch.

Notice from, the American Farmer. 

 "This is a most admirable work, one which every planter and farmer should not only poetess btrl cany 

 out its objects and aims, both in the letter and in the spirit, for they all tend to the introduction of symssi. 

 in the management of landed estates. The Book purports to have "been gotten up as a guide to ercrseeirs 

 and xnanagers ; but is so filled, so arranged, that the proprietors of such estates would themselves be 

 equally benefited by personally carrying out its numerous plans, hints and suggestions; for after eaie- 

 fully looking through and studying its details, we most concientiously say, that they are founded m w»- 

 dom, and, if practised upon, would be promotive alike of economy and humanity— economy to the mm- 

 agement of the farm or plantation— and humanity in providing for the health and comfort of slave©, aa 



well as stock."
