Winter (A) in London; or, Sketches of Fashion. A Novel. By T. S. Surr, Esq. 12mo. p. 812. Phillips. 1806.

This is one of the best satirical novels which have appeared in the present century. Many well-known characters are in troduced with a degree of spirit and humour, which can scarcely be excelled. We wish we could add that the contents of this novel were founded on fiction.

Wolf; (The) or, The Tribunal of Blood. A Romance, from the German of Weber, Author of the Sorcerer, &c. By J. Powell, Esq. translator of the Village of Friedewalde, &c. 2. vol. p. 366. Hughes. 1806.

We cannot perceive what this novel possesses to recommend it. It is a miserable German catchpenny, most wretchedly translated, and many of the pages contain the enormous number of thirty words each, as at page 13, Vol. I.

Wild (The) Irish Girl. A National Tale. By Miss Owenson, Author of St. Clair, &c. 3 vol. 12mo. p. 190. Phillips. 1806.

The Wild Irish Girl is in many respects inferior to the "Novice of St. Dominick," by the same fair author; but it contains many just and striking traits of the Irish character, conveyed under an interesting tale of former times. The Sketch we fear will give no credit to the author for her remarks concerning Ossian !

*The reader will observe, that no works are included in this List which have been published in 1807. Scientific Books, as Theology, Metaphysics, Law, Philosophy, and Natural History, have been omitted, as foreign to our plan. We should also observe, that we cannot take upon us to vouch for the completeness of this List; it being taken from the "MONTHLY LITERARY ADVERTISER," a paper published monthly, and devoted exclusively to advertisements of Books, but in which many of the Booksellers do not advertise their works. Our own notices and introduction will, however, supply the deficiency.
