Among Max. Adeler's charming works, the latest—a collection of stories, humorous and pathetic, published under the title of "An Old Fogey," will secure an excellent place. We have to acknowledge receipt of a copy from Mr F. W. Boynton, wholesale stationer, and the English edition of Ward, Lock, and Co., is now procurable at the various stationers'. Tho stories bear all the characteristics of the author's Btyle; and people who are familiar with his "Out of of the Hurly Burly,"" Elbow Room," and other works, will need nothing to tempt them to dip into this volume. Nor will they be disappointed by its perusal. "Max, Adeler," above all the other modern American humorists, possesses n deep vein of pathos which serves to set off the brilliancy of his wit. He plays off the foibles of mankind in such a charming way, that instruction is combined with the reader's entertainment, and one feels wiser and better, as well as happier, from a perusal of his books, which well deserve the remarkable popularity they havo every where enjoyed.
