is a worthy continuation of the series, and furnishes a more thorough and popularly philosophical investigation of the great law of Autumnal decay and decomposition than can be elsewhere found. It will not be our author's fault if the rising generation are not familiarized with the most interesting facts and the most general laws of the natural world.

Hints to Mothers for the Management of Health during the Period of Pregnancy and in the Lying-in Room; with Exposure of Popular Errors in Connexion with these Subjects. By THOMAS BULL, M.D., Physician Accoucheur to the Finsbury Midwifery Institution. 12mo.

THIS little volume is the benevolent contribution of good sense and professional skill, to the well-being of those who have the strongest claims on our sympathy. Unfortunately, a vast mass of erroneous notions exists in the class to whom it is addressed; to which, and to the concealment prompted by delicacy, until the time for medical aid is gone by, we are indebted for very much of the danger and suffering incident to the periods they are called to pass through. Dr. Bull, in the true spirit of a physician and a gentleman, has by his perspicuous statements removed the first, and by his judicious and simple directions, anticipated the last of these fruitful sources of evil. There is no mother who will not be heartily thankful that this book ever fell into her hands, and no

husband who should not present it to his wife. We cannot urge its value too strongly on all whom it

concerns.

The Cottage Preacher; or Plain Sermons for Plain People. By S. HENDERSON, Author of Scripture Questions,' &c. London: Ward and Co., 1837.

THESE Sermons were written for 'the purpose of being read, in manuscript, to small congregations of 'poor people assembled in some of 'the densely-populated and be'nighted districts of the metropolis.' For such a purpose they are admirably fitted, and we strongly recommend them to Christian Instruction Visitors, Sunday-school Teachers, and other persons engaged in visiting the poor.
