Beauchampe, or The Kentucky Tragedy. A Tale of Passion. By the Author of “Richard Hurdis,” “Border Beagles,” etc. Two Volumes. Lea & Blanchard: Philadelphia.
The events upon which this novel is based are but too real. No more thrilling, no more romantic tragedy did ever the brain of poet conceive than was the tragedy of Sharpe and Beauchampe. We are not sure that the author of “Border Beagles” has done right in the selection of his theme. Too little has been left for invention. We are sure, however, that the theme is skilfully handled. The author of “Richard Hurdis” is one among the best of our native novelists—pure, bold, vigorous, original.
