Edinburgh. How should a new Novel be reviewed?-This is a question which, like many others, we would rather at any time ask than answer. If a novel be good, it must be read by thousands of people,-if it be as bad as the Vampire, it will still be read by many. If the people who study and obey Ebony are not to buy or look at a certain novel, why tell them any thing concerning what is, by the very supposition, not worth knowing any thing about?— If, again, our edict is necessary, to carry such and such a work into the bosom of such and such families, Whig, Tory, Infidel, Christian, why should we sport a long preamble? We do here, in the outset, mean to recommend Pen Owen as a work of very great talent and amusement; in three volumes post octavo, price one pound, eleven shillings, and sixpence; and well worth the money to anybody who can afford to pay for wit at the present high rates. -Why say any thing more about the matter? We shall say why: though at the risk of drawing up a few feet too much of the critical curtain, which is any thing assuredly but a glass one. And first, then, be it known, that our Magazine is read by a great number of very respectable people, who never think of buying books at all, far less of buying novels, and least of all novels that cost L.1, 11s. 6d. Must the honest old dame that fumbles our leaves from one month's end to another, hear nothing about the new novel except that it is an excellent one?What? And perhaps one single copy, and no more, afloat among the numer◄ ous and widely-scattered population, who pay tribute along with herself to the one solitary circulating library of the nearest village or market-town!This is hard. Or, what think ye of the deep-browed, pot-bellied literateur in black breeches and grey worsted stockings, to whose voice potential the fate of books is almost as much subjected, as that of cooks within his parochial territory? Must he be denied a few glimpses to guide him within a few miles of the sort of thing he ought to say? Must he be left quite at random-to hint, perhaps, that "The Provost" is pathetic, or "Pen Owen" sublime? The thing will never do.We must furnish a few samples to the Spinster, and a few data for the Divine. But, secondly, do people suppose that we really review new books, merely for the purpose of favouring or discountenancing their sale? That idea is alike absurd and abominable, and ought to be put down quam primum, if it exist at all. No; our subscribers may rest assured, that whether the critique appears in No. LX. or No. LXV. our main, and most anxious care, is ever NUMBER ONE. Our object is to make this Magazine the most delightful of all possible works; and we have no objection that its readers should contemplate it entirely PER SE. Many, very very many of them, must necessarily do so: New novels don't fly on the wings of the winds, to every corner of the terraqueous globe, while, as a right great and classical' authority, who cannot be too often quoted, asserts, • 3 vols. post 8vo.
