A PRIL HOPES. A Novel. By William Dean Howells. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50.

The charm of Mr. Kinglake’s style, the wonderful beauty of his pictures, the subtle irony of his reflections, have made him so long a favorite and companion, that it is with unfeigned regret we read the word “farewell” with which these volumes close. —Pall Mall Gazette, London.

Hence the success of these written remembrances. —Academy, London.
