R D. BLACKMORE'S NOVELS. —

His descriptions are wonderfully vivid and natural. His pages are
brightened everywhere with great humor ; the quaint, dry turns of thought
remind you occasionally of Fielding. London I'imes.
Mr. Blackmore always writes like a scholar and a gentleman Athe-
nceiim^ London.
His tales, all of them, are pre-eminently meritorious. They are re-
markable for their careful elaboration, the conscientious finish of their
workmanship, their affluence of striking dramatic and narrative incident,
their close observation and general interpretation of nature, their profusion
of picturesque description, and their quiet and sustained humor. Besides,
they are pervaded by a bright and elastic atmosphere which diffuses a
cheery feeling of healthful and robust vigor. While they charm us by
their sprightly vivacity and their naturalness, they never in the slightest
degree transcend the limits of delicacy or good taste. While radiating
warmth and brightness, they are as pure as the new-fallen snow. . . . Their
literary execution is admirable, and their dramatic power is as exceptional
as their moral purity. Christian Intelligencer, N. Y.
