Peacock.—Headlong Hall and Nightmare Abbey.

1 vol., 12mo, green cloth, 50 cts.

“Works of singular merit, but of a character so peculiar that we cannot give any descriptive account of them in the space at our command. Wide sweeping, vigorous satire is their characteristic; satire not so much of men as of opinions * * * The production of a mind contemplative in its turn, but keenly alive to the absurdity of human pretension. There is scarcely a topic which is not here embodied or glanced at; and modern philosophy is pretty severely hit, as may be inferred from the motto of Headlong Hall:
