F.S.Q.

_A Recent Novel_ (Vol. i., pp. 231, 285.).--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.
