The Whiteboy: a Story of Ireland in 1822. by Mrs. S. C. Hall. New-York: Harper & Brothers.

This is No. 65 of Harper's Library of Select Novels — a series of books that cannot be too highly recommended to the public attention. Nowhere, within the same compass, or at the same price, is so much of real entertainment to be found.

The Whiteboy is a powerful novel — full of vivid description.
