Tn Two Volumes, Vol. I, Harper's Library Editlon. 12mo., pp 411, New York: Harper & Hroth- ers, Chicago: Jansen, McClurg & Co. D'rice, 1,60, It Is n necdlens thing to compare this work with “Adam Bede,” und *“Romola,” and #)Middlemarch,” and attempt to say wherein it is better or worse. Tastes much differ, and, after the most elaborate showing of superior excellence In any one of George Ellot's books over every othery the preference will be given sccording to the natural Inclination of the read- er. It 18 onough to feel that ' Daniel Doronda ' §s i powerful story; that It rivets the attention with an absolute spell; that at varfous points the interest deepens futo emotfous of almost painful intensity ; and that it is quite worthy of thie genfus of its author. Let each ona sctile for bimself the nlee questlon as to the exact place the movel should occupy In the list of those which have sprung from the same vigor- oun intellect. The novel fs only half completed, and yet its unfinlshed state does not rotard the decision of the judgment. 8o much admirable inventlon is alrendy dlsplayed, and the movement of the story 8o steadily Increases fn freedom and cle- vatfon, that there 18 not room for a doubt of ite trlumphant concluslon. As usual with George Ellot’s novels, the chicf skill fs exhibited in the dellueation of character. There arc at least o ball-dozen personnges sct before us, of equally original and striklog individuality, while, of the many people who take part in the action, and help it, diversified and lively, nonu are to be recognized as Wiving done duty before; each is afresh und interesting study of human nature, Thue far Daniel Deronda s infrequently In- troduced upon the scene, und, attractive as his figure s whenever visible, he fs withheld from view during the greater part of this first half of “ {he narrative, Taking the positfon which the hero of a nuvel would naturally occupy, there ts i is place & young and beautiful woman, whose eapricfous yet graceful and ywitghiug be- lavior 8o ghsorbs the eontemplation that uny- thing not immediately concernlng her is for the time belng entirely forgotten. Gwendolen Harleth is, In some ysterfous way not yet foreshadowed, to influence the destiny of Der- ondaj but whethier it will be for good or for cvil, §8 vainly surmised at the close of the pres- ent volume, Ier own fato has reached s ealamitous ntn;{c, cvoking the deepest sym- pathy, when suddenly her” action in thia early rtfon of the drama s suspended. Instincts fvuly the hopo arlscs that it is to save her, and securc his own huppiness by somo brililant achievement, that Deronda has been, up to the tragle moment, carefully held in reserve. The story opens abruptly in a gnmblln;i- house at Leubronn, Germany,—s fashilonuble place of summer-resort. Gwendolen §8 testing the fageinatlons of roulette, and, playing with a superb alr of coolness and courage, Is winnlng interruptedly, Tu the midst of hier play, shis fs aware of o magnetie gazo fustened upon ber, and, looking up, pe -cl\'cunt;unllcmml with o grute, lundsoms huce, reurdlug lor movenients Wwith an earnest solleitud The survey of the stranger—keen, yet respeetful, amd sudly nd- monltory—is felt lke a reproach by the kensl- tive nature of the glr), aud the effect s un- verving, From that instant she shrinks under the cyo of Derondy, the tide of ler fortune turns, and, after losing all her previous fiulnn, whicls she stakes in proud deflauce, she disup- prars from the table. Yet Gwendolen is nefther a gnmbler nor an adventurcss. Sho has slmply Been followlng the custom provafling fn the polite world, of Auing what others do, and, while stoppliyg ut.the German baths with her traveling compantons, the Baron nnd Baroness Von Lavgen, hus folned thie creles at the roulette-table and haz- arded g few napoleons. In the evening follow- iz this experhinent, (Twendolen fs promenading n the same splendid salon, when Derondu seeks an Introduction but some unvoted oceurrence futeryenes, nud Gwendolen returns to hier room without meeting himn, to fiud o letter recallivg Ler home to Englaud. "I'he young girl belongs to an uncxceptionable family’of thu cultivated middis classes, and las reeefved the nurture und trainfng of daughters in her position, The {dol of a weak-minded mother, she has been spolled by Indulgence so fur as an urlghmnr fine nuture can be, and fs thoughtless of all Interests save those ulfecting herself. Confident fu her beauty and perfect Tadyhood, she dares to be singular and obey ber owit fitful whims, rather than the rules of decor- ous propriety. Gwendolen is, in fact, kcltlsh und willful, ud ‘elated with her supremiey; yet she has no mean or maliclous qualities, and “wishes only to enjoy,in ag innocent o manuer as possible, the’ homage of all who appronchi her, — Generous women sewand respect the good {n her; ond men, oid sud young, adinire her upml, - mensely.
