the thirteenth appearing so lately as 1833, in Boston. Another book of similar popularity was Charlotte Temple, a tale of truth, by Mrs. Rowson of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, 1794. It was a little book containing one hundred and seventy-five pages of unmixed tragedy for the benefit of the young and thoughtless.

The original story purports to belong to the year 1820, and the scene of a later continuation is laid in the year 1825, both these being reprinted in the Boston book for 1841, and in the lately republished works of William Austin. It is the narrative, in the soberest language, of a
