��SEBASTIAN STROME.
��A NOVEL.
By JULIAN HAV/THORNE,
AUTHOR OF •'GARTH," " BKESSANT," ETC.
From the London Alhenceum.
"Taken merely as a work of art, 'Sebastian Strome"- which is not so exaggerated as 'Id"latry,' and does not drag like 'Garth' — may be pronounced the most powerful novel Mr. Hawthorne has ever writ- ten. Indeed, we may go further, and say that not many more remarkable novels by any author have ap- peared of late. The story is interestinsr. and, moving swiftly and strongly along, it carries the reader with it. The force and vigor of some of the scenes are balanced b.vthe grace and ten.ierness of others. There are some delightful descriptions of external nature, and there are strange glimpses into human nature, which have rather surprised us."'
From the London Spectator.
'• This is a story marked by very irregular power, but very powerful throughout. . . . Tt is not easy to conceive any sketches finer and more subtly drawn than ttiose of Mr. and Mrs. Strome. and of Sebas- tian's friend Smillet. These three an- not common pictures. They are painted without the smallest straining after effect, but with the vividness of real geniu< ; and this it is which makes a tale o! very irreg- ular power, and one c imposed of very dark and sometimes, indeed, revolting elements, produce on the whole a single effect on the mind — the effect of the delicate golden sunset seen after a combination of earthquake, dust-storm, and hurricane, has passed in succession over the land."
