attempts of novel writers,"--_Monthly Review_. OURIKA; a Tale by the Duchess de DURAS. 2s. 6d. "About a month ago a very pretty story under this title was published in Paris. It soon not only attracted attention but became quite the rage; and every thing in fashion and drama and picture has since been Ourika. There are Ourika dresses, Ourika Vaudevilles, Ourika prints. Madlle. Mars blacked her face to perform Ourika, but did not like her appearance in the glass, and refused the character. Such an event, like Mad. George's insult, was enough to set all that sensitive metropolis in a flame; and every mouth and every journal has rung and is ringing with Ourika."--_Literary Gazette_, 383. THE LAY of the SCOTTISH FIDDLE; a Poem in Five Cantos. 7s. 6d. boards. "I believe that the nature of this American Poem was known to the proprietor of the Quarterly Review. So far as it was a burlesque on the Lay of the Last Minstrel, I know it was; yet was he as a publisher so anxious to get it, that he engaged Lord Byron to use his utmost influence with me to obtain it for him, and his Lordship wrote a most pressing letter upon the occasion. He asked me to let Mr. Murray, who was in despair about it, have the publication of this Poem as the greatest possible favour."--_Dallas's Recollections of Byron_, p. 270. ADRASTUS; a Tragedy: AMABEL, or the Cornish Lovers; and other Poems. By R.C. DALLAS, Esq. 7s. 6d. boards.
