Les Miserables--Cosette.

--Messers. West & Johnston have published the second book of Les Miserables--"Cosette." To those who have read Fantine, an essay on the style of M. Victor Hugo would be superfluous. Cosette is a continuation of that work. The life of Jean Valjean is continued, and that of Cosette commences. It is a more fascinating work than Fantine, and will probably be more widely read. The description of the battle of Waterloo, in the opening pages, is the most graphic, and perhaps we might add the most truthful, account of that memorable conflict ever written.
