The Battle of the Factions, and other tales of Ireland, by William Carleton with engravings. Price 23 cts. Philadelphia. Carey & Hart.

The author of these stories enjoys a better reputation in his own country than in ours, while the case with Lever, and Maxwell, is reversed. The reason is that Carleton is more true to nature than the other Irish Rornancists; and from a similar cause, Sam Slick was infinitely more popular in England than in America.
