A Recent Novel
By HENRY H. BREEN. (St. Lucia, W.I)
May I be permitted to correct an error in a communication from one of your correspondents? ADOLPHUS (p. 231.) puts a Query respecting the title of a recent novel; and J.S. (p. 285) informs him that the title is *Le Morne au Diable*, by Eugène Sue. The fact is, that "La Morne au Diable" is the principal scene of the events described, and nothing more. The title is *L'Aventurier, ou la Barbe-bleue*; and an English translation, styled the *Female Blue Beard, or the Adventurer*, was published in 1845 by W. Strange, 21. Paternoster Row.
