TALES OF CONTINENTAL LIFE.

By the Author of “The English in Italy.”

“The writings of this author are valuable for the shrewd observations they contain on the manners of the Continent, extremely unlike those of English travellers in general, for they are not crude, hasty, and prejudiced, but manifestly the result of an extensive cultivation of foreign society, under very favourable opportunities. The author permits natural objects to have their natural weight with him; his tales are written with great power, and decidedly prove themselves to be the work of a clever man, who knows the Continent, or at least parts of it, thoroughly.”—_Atlas._
