Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.We have lost no time in reading this historical romance -- experience having taught us that any work by Mr. Simms must be of a nature to give pleasure, however obnoxious it may be to criticism. That all his works are open to censure, in some respects, is neither untrue nor strange. Mr. Simms is yet a young man, and has time to learn both how to avoid defects and to improve upon merits. He is a man of decided genius, and of very great industry; but genius and industry must be aided by experience, and derive benefit from criticism; and the surest evidence that they exist, is furnished by the very fact that they do take benefit therefrom. In the case of Mr. Simms, this evidence is neither wanting nor doubtful. The faults of Guy Rivers -- and abounding with fine points, and with the tokens of genius and talent as that work is, its faults are many and great -- have been gradually disappearing from each successive novel by the same author, except, perhaps, the Partisan, in which there are manifest tokens of haste, and defects, the unavoidable consequence of haste; but in Mellichampe, this retrogression is amply and nobly redeemed. As a story, it is to the full as interesting and exciting as either the Yemmassee or Guy Rivers : the style is more correct, equal, and elegant, than in those or any others of Mr. Simms writings, except some two or three of his short tales, published in the annuals -- and the principal personages are delineated with more knowledge, and a more delicate perception of the lights and shades which are invariably found coexisting in human character. Like its immediate predecessor, of which it is a continuation, Mellichampe is based, as we have before observed, upon incidents drawn from the revolutionary history of South Carolina. Major Singleton, the hero of the Partisan, together with General Marion, and one or two subordinate characters, are made to reappear in the volumes before us, although their actions relate to a subsequent period of the revolution, and are in nowise connected with those narrated in the former work. The plot is so complicated and laden with details, that it would be a difficult matter for us to give the reader a correct outline of it, within our allotted limits. We will, however, attempt to furnish a general view. --The Knickerbocker, Volume 8.
