“Tales of the Grotesque and the Arabesque,” by Edgar A. Poe, 2 vols. The terms in the title page are intended to designate severally, the lighter and more sentimental tales. They ere in either case spirited and pointed, and the author uses the pen of an “experienced scribe.” We have read them with great delight and can assure our readers of great satisfaction in their perusal.
