" The Life of the great magician of honors, whose genius partook of the very essence of German 'womler-working' and mysterious creation-the Life of Monk Lewis, who knew, withal, every one of the choice spirits of his time, affords a most tempting subject. Crammed full of anecdote as these volumes are-theatrical, political, and literary-there is not a dull page throughout. The great body of the work has relation to theatlical matters, an <I gives us some capital stories ahout the mo t prominent members of the histrionic profession of both sexes; but the editor has introduced so much matter of a different kind- has presented us with so many varieties of wit and humour-that the work is as free from the fault of monotony as any we have rca<l."-Cow·t Journal.
