s of many sides of life--some grave, some gay, some cheering and some sad, pervaded by a genial spirit and developing good morals. Either of the fifteen sketches will amply repay the purchaser of the volume, and unless our judgment is false, _after a careful reading_, "Ups and Downs" will make an impression beyond "the pleasant effect to while away a few unoccupied moments." The Publishers have given Cousin Cicely's gems a setting worthy of their brilliancy. The ten illustrations are capital in design and execution, and it strikes us as remarkable how such a volume can be profitably got up at the price for which it is sold. The secret must lie in large circulation--which "Ups and Downs" is certain to secure.--N.Y. _Evening Mirror_. _Who is Cousin Cicely_?--We begin to think Cousin Cicely is _somebody_, and feel disposed to ask, who is she? We several months ago noticed her "Lewie" in this journal. It is a story with a fine moral, beautiful and touching in its development. It has already quietly made its way to a circulation of _twelve thousand_, "without beating a drum or crying oysters." Pretty good evidence that there is something in it. Our readers have already had a taste of "_Ups and Downs_," for we find among its contents a story entitled "_Miss Todd, M.D., or a Disease of the Heart_," which was published in this journal a few months ago We venture to say that _no one_ who read has forgotten it, and those who remember it will be glad to know where they can find plenty more of the "same sort."--_U.S. Journal_. * * * Sketches of life as it is, and of some things as they should be; all drawn with a light pencil, and abounding with touches of real genius, Cousin Cicely has improved her former good reputation in our opinion, by this effort.--_The Wesleyan_.
