TIMOTHY TITCOMB'S NEW BOOK. Kathrina, her Life and Mine; in a Poem. One vol. 12mo. Price, $1 50; full gilt, $2 50.
The aim of this poem is to illustrate the power of a true woman to ennoble and to elevate man; to reveal to him the true end of life, and to lead him to press after it with the same earnestness and determination which have marked his struggles to realize his dreams of ambition. Although mainly narrative in form, parts of the work are dramatic and lyrical, and, scattered through the poem, are passages unsurpassed for their exquisite and pathetic tenderness.
