 from the sameness of material and feebleness of plot exhibited in each succeeding work. The announcement, however, of one bearing the above title, was likely enough, after the political fashion of Mr. Bayes, to 'surprise' the public into a purchase, although it did not whet our appetite; for we should be perplexed to name a writer less likely to pourtray, in its truth and beauty, the purity and poetry, 'to dally with the innocence' of "Young Love."

In 1850 was issued "Petticoat Government;" and since then "Father Eustace," "Uncle Walter," and "The Clever Woman," made up for the most part of the old elements, and exhibiting a strong family likeness to the. foregoing works. For some years past, Mrs. Trollope, who has long been a widow, has disappeared from the English literary circles, having fixed her residence at Florence. Her son Mr. Adolphus Trollope, has written some agreeable works of Travel in the less frequented parts of France, and also some clever illustrations of Irish life.

TULLIA, TULLIOLA, of Cicero and Terentia his wife. She married Caius Piso, and afterwards Furius Crassippus, and lastly P. Corn. Dolabella. Dolabella was turbulent, and the cause of much grief to Tullia and her father, by whom she was tenderly beloved. Tullia died in childbed, about B. C. 44, soon after her divorce from Dolabella.

The characteristics of her poetic writings are tender and lowly feelings and great thoughtfulness, combined with a very elegant diction. Among the best of her productions we may count "Stolzenfels," (Castle Proudrock) and the epic "Alfred, King of the Anglo-Saxons."

TYMICHA, lady, consort of Myllias, a native of Crotona. Jamblichus, in his life of Pythagoras, places her at the head of his list, as the most celebrated female philosopher of the Pythagorean school. When Tymicha and her husband were carried as prisoners before Dionysius, the tyrant of Syracuse, B. C. 330, he made them both very advantageous offers, if they would reveal the mysteries of Pythagorean science; but they rejected them all with scorn and
