RECENT ADDITIONS TO
W. CALLAHAN'S
CIRCULATING LIBRARY.
Newport, March 14th
2509 A Winter in the West; by C. F. Hoffman. 2 vols
We coincide heartily in the warm praises universally bestowed upon these admirable, volumes, both publicly and in private. It is impossible to read them without emotions of delight, frequently rising to enthusiasm, awakened not less by the felicitous manner in which scenes, objects and incidents are described, than by their number, variety and novelty.—N.Y Mirror.
2610 The Mayor of Wind-gap: a tale, by J. Banim.
'A wild and strange story, in which the reader is completely at fault from the very beginning: he perceives, very soon, that the tale upon which he has engaged is a remarkable one—prolific in "moving incidents" and strong startling characters. 'The interest increases as he goes on, it becomes excitement—eagerness—and at last he reaches the close,
wondering more than all that a skein so ravelled should be unwound without disappointing his highly-wrought expectations. It is a remarkable story, the "Mayor of Wind-gap."
