NEW NOVELS AT THE LIBRARIES. IDOLATRY. A Romance. By JULIAN HAWTHORNE. Author "A more powerful book than Bressant.' If the figures are mostly phantoms, they are phantoms which take a more powerful hold on the mind than many very real figures. There are three scenes in this romance any one of which would prove true genius."-Spectator. "The character of the Egyptian, half mad and all wicked, is remarkably drawn. Manetho is a really fine conception. That there are passages of most exquisite beauty here and there is only what we might expect. Surely no one can read this [quotation] without feeling that the same blood runs through the son as through the father."-Athenæum. "That the younger Hawthorne is gifted with a power which, judged by the standard of ordinary novels, is great, cannot be doubted. There is one character in Idolatry described with a skill and delicacy which are alınost worthy of the author of the 'Scarlet Letter.'"-Saturday Review. BRESSANT. A Romance. Crown 8vo. By JULIAN HAWTHORNE. 2 vols. "One of the most powerful with which we are acquainted."-Times.
