3. The Mythology of Ancient Greece and Italy, for the Use of Schools, by Thomas Keightley, (Whittaker, London,) is intended to set aside Tom Thumb, Jack the Giant-killer, and other nursery books of a similar character, and to furnish a brief account of those heroes and demigods which supply our poets with machinery, and our classical writers with allusions and illustrations. In these views, this is a valuable book, the contents of which will be found amusing, as well as instructive.

4. Moral Fables and Parables, by Ingram Cobbin, M.A. (Westley, London,) are very pretty, very short, very amusing, and very interesting. We think it is a book with which children will be innocently diverted, and taught many wholesome moral lessons by the little tales with which they are gratified. Several wood-cuts serve to illustrate the subject of the fables, and to ornament the pages.

5. Christian Directions, Showing how to walk with God all the Day long, by Thomas Gouge, (Religious Tract Society, London,) is a reprint from the above author of 1660. It enters with tolerable minuteness into most of the concerns of life, and gives wholesome advice under a great variety of circumstances. From the Religious Tract Society, we do not expect a bad book. All are excellent, and this is one that will claim a niche among the higher grade.

6. The Christian Pastor visiting his Flock; and the Flock reciprocating_their Shepherd's Care, by John Morison, D. D., (Westley, London,) opens before us a large field both for labour and usefulness. The minister, who, having the welfare of his flock at heart, is anxious for the salvation of their souls, cannot eat the bread of idleness, because he will not neglect his duty. Its various branches, Dr. Morison has distinctly unfolded in this little volume; and if all who fill the pastoral office were conscientiously to observe the rules laid down, the enemies of religion would have but little occasion to charge them with disregarding every thing besides the fleece.

7. The Writer's and Student's Assistant, being a choice Selection of English Synonyms, &c., (Whittaker, London,) is certainly much too diminutive for the task the author has undertaken. In some notes and observations, he has with much precision discriminated between the import of terms that are generally, though erroneously, used as synonymous. In many cases, there can be no doubt that this book will be found beneficial, but the limits are too dis

proportionate to the subjects, to answer the reader's expectation.

8. Sacred Poetry, by a Layman, (Seeley, London,) consists of many articles, short, and unconnected with each other. These contain some decent lines, but nothing beyond what may be found in many a volume that is born but to be forgotten.

9.The Sunday Scholar's Repository, No.1, (Depository, London,) contains a brief memoir of Mr. Raikes, and also of Wickliffe, with some other articles, but it is too early to form an estimate of its merits.

10. The Bow in Strength, or a Prac tical Dissertation on the History of Joseph, as recorded in the Book of Genesis, by Charles Larom, (Hamilton, London,) follows this remarkable individual through all the strange vicissitudes of his fortune. Few memoirs can furnish a greater variety of incidents, or suggest more topics for moral reflections, than the history of Joseph. Of these Mr. Larom has availed himself, and produced a book that teaches many important lessons, which will be perused with much interest, because they place truth in an attractive light.

11. "The Lord Our Righteousness," &c., by the Rev. Frederic Sanders, M. A. (Religious Tract Society,) is said to have been the watchword of the reformers, and we do not know that they could have found any one more appropriate. It has been translated from the German, and now promises fair to prove beneficial to the reader in an English dress.

12. The Poor Man's Sabbath; a Poem, by John Struthers, (Gallie, Glasgow,) is recommended by seven editions. It expatiates, with much animation, on the nature, advantages, and sanctity of this holy day, which extends its benign protection over the labouring cattle; and its influence, in modern times, to the islands of the Pacific. As a poetical composition, the lines are very respectable.

13. A Discourse on the Church's Stability, &c., by the Rev. Stephen Charnock, D. D., 1641, (Religious Tract Society, London,) is distinguished by that earnestness of appeal, and vigour of sentiment, for which writers, of the author's time, were particularly remarkable. Their writings are like old coin-the inscriptions may be quaint and obsolete, but the metal is sterling, and will bear the crucible.

14. The Journeys of the Children of Israel, and their Settlement in the Promised Land, (Tract Society, London,) traces the wanderings of this remarkable people, from their bondage in Egypt, to the death of Joshua. The events recorded are

illustrated by many wood engravings. To young persons, it will be a pleasing epitome of this branch of Jewish history.

15. The Discipline of the Church of England defended against the Objections of William Tiptaft, by Thomas Grose, M.A., (Southern, London,) is not an elaborate production, that is ever likely to raise the author to a bishopric. The fourteen objections of Mr. Tiptaft must have been very weak, if they are fully answered in twenty pages.

16. On the Portable Sudatory; or, Hot Air Bath: its Medical Powers, and great Utility in Cholera Morbus, &c., by Mr. L. A. Beaume, (Highley, London.) is a pamphlet that makes its appeal to medical men; and, by them, the utility of what it recommends must be decided. As a frontispiece, the Sudatory Bath appears in various forms; and a considerable portion of what the author has written is, to explain its application, and to expatiate on its effects.

17. Second Annual Report of the Scottish Temperance Society, (Whittaker, London,) furnishes a frightful picture of the awful prevalence, and baneful effects, of drunkenness; with which are contrasted the beneficial results of temperance societies, wherever they have been established. Sceptical men may ridicule these societies, as an Utopian scheme to reform the world, but let them look at the following facts: the number of societies, now in Scotland, is 280; containing 44,044 members. On the consumption of spirits in 1831, compared with 1830, the decrease has been 660,676 gallons.

18. The Saint's Everlasting Rest, by R. Baxter, abridged by I. Crewdson, eighth edition, (Fisher & Co. London,) has already obtained an impression of 30,000 copies. Many have been purchased for gratuitous distribution, and we scarcely know a book more likely to be useful when extensively circulated. For this purpose, the price is exceedingly low:-in sheets, only eightpence each, if one dozen be taken; and still lower, if in larger quantities, though containing 212 pages.

19. The Miracles of the Irving School shewn to be unworthy of Serious Examination, by the Rev. David Thom, (Longman, London,) is a pamphlet to which the subject itself will attach some degree of interest; but, like the miracles it denies, it will live its day, and be forgotten. As a matter of curiosity, it may excite some little atention; but few, we believe, want arguments to convince them of a fact which is rendered obvious by its own absurdity.

20. Village Rhymes, (Seeley, London, contains rather more prose than verse; and with this we think the reader will not be displeased, as it consists of narrative, dialogue, and description. The whole, however, is only a nursery book; but in this sphere it will be found both attractive and useful.

21. The Nautical Magazine, &c. No. I. (Fisher & Co., London,) is a register of maritime discoveries in various parts of the world, with a variety of miscellaneous matter relating to affairs, facts, and incidents connected with nautical science. This number, in fifty-six pages, on a type like our own, contains several interesting articles, some of which are of high importance to mariners. Light-houses, buoys, and improvements in harbours, are always momentous subjects to those who traverse the stormy deep. A curious frontispiece arrests the eye; and the account of its use will be perused with much sympathy and solicitude.

22. The Class Book, with Exercises, (Sunday-school Depository, London,) has passages of scripture for its basis, and questions founded on them, to exercise the pupil's understanding and memory, for its superstructure. It is a neat and useful Sunday-school book.

23. The Voice of Humanity, published quarterly, No. VII., (Nisbet, London,) continues, with much argument, feeling, and sympathy, to inculcate humanity towards the brute creation. In the parts already published, this work has been of essential service, in awakening public attention to the detestable evils which it exposes, if not in exciting remorse in those whose barbarous conduct towards animals has rendered this publication necessary. What will the reader think of sausages, after perusing the two following facts? "In glancing at the police report for January 30, at Queen Square, we find, that a master butcher and his journeyman had dressed a poor old cow, which had died of a diseased udder, and sold it for thirty-five shillings to a sausage-maker in Cow-Cross, Smithfield? The journeyman also affirmed, that he had been employed by a butcher in Little Chelsea, to dig up some pigs which had died of disease, and been buried, and that having dressed them, they were also sold to the same sausage-maker." p. 90.

24. Morning Manna, or Verse Book for 1832, (Gallie, Glasgow,) is a neat little thing containing a passage of Scripture for every day in the year, which the reader is requested to commit to memory.

25. A Letter of Inquiries addressed to the Rev. John Scott, A. M. occasioned by the perusal of a Sermon recently published by him, entitled, "Reformation not Subversion," purporting to be an Appeal to the People of England, on behalf of their National Church, by Ebenezer Morley, Hull, (Simpkin, London,) is a controversial article, written on the dissenting side of the question, against the ecclesiastical establishment. It passes through paths in

which multitudes had travelled before the author was born, but he seems well acquainted with its turns and windings, and knows how to handle the weapons provided for his use. It is a pamphlet calculated to mitigate the tone of censorious and supercilious authority, in those who think the national church to be infallible, and that heresy attaches itself to all who presume to doubt the fact.

26. The Nias Boy, or some Account of Afoofoo, a Malay Youth, by the Rev. N. Moren, A. M., (Westley, London,) is a pathetic narrative, which we think no one can read without feeling an interest in his fate. Brought from an island in the Indian ocean, when about ten or twelve years old, he fell into the hands of a pious family in Scotland, who took much pains to improve his mind, and instruct him in the principles of the christian religion. His improvement was great in both respects, but venturing on a log in the water, it overturned, and he was drowned. The simplicity of this tale is truly affecting.

27. The Deaf, Dumb, and Blind, or the Scotch Pedlar's Tale, (Gallie, Glasgow,) will please children, and furnish employment for the philosophical mind. It carries us into the region of providential dispensations, and partially discloses a wise economy in operation, lying behind a cloud that we cannot fully pierce.

28. The Classical English Vocabulary, &c. &c., by Ingram Cobbin, A. M., (Westley, London,) evinces at once the industry, the taste, and the acquirements of its author. It embraces a selection of words used by reputable writers, and gives their pronunciation, meaning, and derivation. Among the higher classes of pupils, and others who have retired from seminaries of learning, this book will be deservedly held in high repute. Mr. Cobbin seems to devote a considerable portion of his time and talents to the benefit of youth; and by his unremitting assiduity, he has laid those of both sexes under lasting obligations. This is a book that must be examined throughout by all who wish duly to appreciate its value.

29. A Treatise on the Authority, Ends, and Observance of the Christian Sabbath, by the Rev. Duncan Macfarlan, (Whittaker, London,) not only swells the list of books already in circulation on this important subject, but adds considerably to the aggregate stock of argument, by which the observance of the Lord's day is enforced. The Mosaic Sabbath he assumes as of divine appointment, and argues that a change of day cannot abrograte the moral obligation which is involved in its institution. The necessity of this change he argues from the superiority of the Christian over the Mosaic dispensation, from the conduct of the apostles and early Christians, and the edicts of the church in succeeding ages. The abuse of this day is awfully exemplified by an appeal to facts of which no person can be ignorant. To the remedying of this deplorable profanation, he directs all his force, and brings to bear upon it a goodly portion of all that argument and language can be expected to supply.

30. Essay on the Rights of Hindoos over Ancestral Property, according to the Law of Bengal, by Rajah Rammohun Roy, (Smith and Elder, London,) is a pamphlet which carries us to India, and introduces us to foreign manners, customs, and laws, that, in most respects, have little or no affinity with our own. On the subjects, therefore, discussed by the learned author, as they stand connected with the rules of legislation and conquest, we find ourselves utterly incompetent to give any decided opinion. Viewing them, however, in their relation to the immutable principles of justice, we feel no hesitation in saying, that the writer has made out a strong case, which demands a serious examination. He appears to be intimately acquainted with the rights for which he contends, and with the laws on which his claims are founded. He is evidently a man of extensive learning and superior talents, and we hope that he will not be suffered to remain unheard, or to plead in vain.

31. The Harmonicon for January 1832, No. XLIX., (Longman, London,) sustains its part in the series to which it belongs, in a manner highly creditable to the conductor. This work takes a general survey of musical science throughout the world, noticing improvements, inventions, development of individual genius, and national superiority, and contrasting these with the fluctuations to which it has been exposed. It is a publication enlivened with many anecdotes of musical enthusiasts, with which the reader cannot fail to be amused, even though unable to play the organ.

GLEANINGS.

Reporting.-Boswell relates, that having boasted of his reporting ability, Johnson took up a book, and read a while; and then called upon Boswell to re-read from his notes. The result was, that Boswell was ashamed of his work. Were the persons who complain of the newspapers put upon the same trial, they would undoubtedly have the same signal failure.

Suicides by Fire.-There have been only three instances of self-destruction by fire: that of the philosopher Empedocles, who threw himself into the crater of Mount Etna; that of a Frenchman, who, in imitation of the former, precipitated himself, in 1820, into the crater of Vesuvius; and that of an Englishman, who, about twenty years back, jumped into the furnace of a forge.

Snuff-A woman asked a doctor whether taking snuff was hurtful to the brain. "No," said the doctor," for he that has any brains will not take snuff."

Horrible Traffic.-The "Sydney Gazette," of the 19th of April, 1831, contains a government order, the object of which is to put an end to a most singular kind of traffic carried on by the masters and crews of vessels trading between that colony and New Zealand. The trade consists in the purchase of" human heads, preserved in a manner peculiar to that country." This practice, as the governor truly states, has a tendency to increase the sacrifice of human life among savages, whose disregard of it is notorious." But which party are we to consider the savages in this case- the New Zealander, who prepares the commodity, or the European who makes the purchase?

"A Fact connected with Whitecross-street Prison.--A street-keeper, (who is now, I believe, removed from his office,) in New Bond-street, was in the habit of sending the prisoner, who swept a crossing in that street, on messages, and never paid him any thing for his trouble, but the prisoner occasionally borrowed a few pence of him, which he thinks might amount to 1s. 9d. Not receiving any payment, the prisoner declined going on any further errands for him. The plaintiff then brought a woman to put on his crossing, which prisoner resisted, and the former applied to some of the inhabitants to remove the prisoner, which they declined, saying he had always conducted himself with propriety; in consequence of which, the street-keeper took the present method of revenging himself, and summoned the prisoner for 1s. 9d. which, with the costs, the prisoner offered to pay at 2s. per month; but the street keeper had influence enough to persuade the commissioners he could pay the whole at once: they therefore made an order that he should pay the same, and 3s. 6d. costs, on the Wedday next after the 3d day of October, 1831, which not being able to comply with, he is now incarcerated in Whitecross-street for ten days."

March 17, 1832. A PRISONER. [When will the subject of imprisonment for debt be brought before parliament.]

British and Foreign Temperance Society. It is proposed to hold the Annual Meeting of this Society at Exeter Hall, on Tuesday the 22d of May, at 12 o'clock. The Right Hon. and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London in the chair.

A Word to Washer-women.-In washing printed calicoes, put a table spoonful of common salt into the suds, and the colours will remain as bright as before.

Arrest for Debt.-It appears, from the affidavits which are officially filed, that, in two years and a half, 70,000 persons have been arrested for debt in and about London, the law expenses of which have amounted to upwards of half a million; in addition to which, probably, quite as many more actions have been brought on unbailable writs, for debts under 207. the costs on which must have been little less than another half million.

Imprisonment for Debt.-The North American Review informs us that the number of persons imprisoned in the debtor's apartment in Philadelphia, from June 6, 1829, to Feb. 24, 1830, was 817, of whom there were-30 whose debts were below 1 dollar; 233 above 1 and below 5 dollars; 174 above 5 and below 10 dollars; 140 above 10 and below 20 dollars; 142 above 20 and below 100; 98 above 100 dollars.-Of 252 of these unfortunate people, the debts were 8663 dollars and the coasts 8448; and of 64 the debts were 858 and the costs 8,120 dollars!"-Athenæum.

On being seized with Cholera.-On the first attack, bleeding, or hot water and vapour baths, are to be resorted to. The former is a surgical operation, and dangerous in its performance without proper anatomical knowledge: with regard to the latter, we have lately heard of a novel mode of exhibiting the vapour bath by means of a tea kettle; the patient is enclosed in a blanket, and the spout of the kettle introduced between the folds: the water is to be kept boiling, and a most efficient vapour bath is produced.

Scarlet Runners.-The perennial kidney-bean, exhi bited by Mr. Lindley lately, at the horticultural meeting in Norwich, was the well-known scarlet runner Phaseolus multiflorus. Johnson, in his edition of " Gerarde, 1633," says it was introduced into this country by John Tradescant, but from whence it does not appear. It was figured by Cornutus, in his "Canad. Plant," p. 184. t. 185, printed in 1635. The plants exhibited were some from seeds sown in April 1830. These were taken up in November, and preserved in some dry mould in the cellar through the winter, and planted out again the 7th of April last. The roots were then perfecily sound, as well as the stems, from both of which, at the time of their exhibition, they had pushed vigorous young shoots, of from six to nine inches in length. Others, of which these formed a part, are now growing luxuriantly, twining round their stakes, and will soon produce a second year's crop. It is not a little remarkable, that this useful and valuable inhabitant of our gardens, for at least two centuries, should not have been discovered to be perennial by any of our English writers on horticulture. The first erop of our scarlet-runners from year-old roots, of which we have any knowledge, was grown under the superintendence of the exhibitor in 1827.

Lawyers in Parliament.-James I. issued a proclamation, in which the voters for members of parliament were directed "not to choose curious and wrangling lawyers, who seek reputation by stirring needless questions."

Anagram.-Some of our fair collectors of charades, conundrums, and the like, may not be aware that the very anagram of lawyers is, sly ware.

The

A Chinese Bride." The greatest rarity, however, after this feast, was the sight of a Chinese bride. The son of our host having been married a few days before, we were honoured (according to the usage of the country, during the honey-moon) with permission to look at his wife, as she stood at the door of her apartment, while we were passing out. lady was surrounded by several old women, who held tapers and lamps above and about her, that we might have a more complete view of her figure and attire. She was a young person (perhaps 17 years of age,) of middle stature, with very agreeable features and a light complexion, though she seemed to us to have used paint. She wore a scarlet robe, superbly trimmed with gold, which completely covered her from the shoulders to the ground. The sleeves were very full, and along the bottom ran a beautiful fringe of small bells. Her head-dress sparkled with jewels, and was most elegantly beaded with rows of pearls, encircling it like a coronet; from the front of which a brilliant angular ornament hung over her forehead and between her eye-brows. She stood in a modest and graceful attitude, having her eyes fixed on the floor, though she occasionally raised them, with a glauce of timid curiosity, towards the spectators. Her hands, joined together, but folded in her robe, she lifted several times towards her face, and then lowered them very slowly. Her attendants, presuming that the guests would be gratified with a peep at that consummation of Chinese beauty, the lady's feet, raised the hem of the mantle from hers, for a moment or two. They were of the most diminutive kind, and reduced to a mere point at the toe. Her shoes, like the rest of her bridal apparel, were scarlet, embroidered with gold, In justice to the poor creature, during this torturing exhibition, (as we imagine it must have been to her,) her demeanour was natural and becoming, and once or twice something like half a smile, for an instant, showed that she not not entirely unconscious of the admiration which her appearance excited, nor much displeased by it."-Tyermun and Bennet's Travels.

Extract of a Letter from Thomas Jefferson to Major Cartwright, in the Year 1824" Your age of 84, and mine of 81 years, insure us a speedy meeting. We may then commune at leisure and more fully, on the good and evil which, in the course of our long lives, we have both witnessed; and, in the mean time, I pray you to accept assurances of my high veneration and esteem for your person and character." Thomas Jefferson.

Anecdote of William IV.-On a late occasion, his present Majesty, while viewing the royal collection, was observed to pause before a splendid portrait by Vandyke, of that ill-fated monarch Charles I. standing by the side of his horse. When one of the nobleblemen of the court, approaching him, said, "Is not that, Sire, a fiue painting?" his Majesty replied "Yes; and how finely it tells his history? His fate was melancholy, but he sacrificed himself in opposing the just wishes and privileges of his people."Library of the Fine Arts.

Inky Remedies.-If ink would keep away the cholera, surely it has done its part, there having been no less than two hundred and twenty-six works upon the subject published within the last few months.

Cholera Morbus.-An eminent surgeon, Mr. Hope, who has had thirty years' practice, in which he has treated cases of cholera morbus very successfully, has made public the means which he used, for the general good. He says-"The remedy I gave was one drachm of nitrous acid (not nitric-that has foiled me;) one ounce of peppermint-water, or camphor mixture; and forty drops of tincture of opium. A fourth part every three or four hours in a cupful of thin gruel. The belly should be covered with a succession of hot cloths (dry ;) bottles of hot water to the feet, if they can be obtained; constant and small sippings of finely strained gruel, or sago, or tapioca; no spirit-no wine-no fermented liquors, till quite restored."

Ardent Spirits.-From a calculation made at Exeter Hall, London, it appears that not less than 15,000,000. are expended annually for distilled spirits.

Pilgrims in the Black Forest." I must not forget an interesting party of five pilgrims making a tour of the sanctuaries, and now on their way to Lichenthal. -The leader is a patriarch of seventy-five years or upwards; snowy locks over his shoulders; en chemise, and chanting as he goes. The next is a stout baur, of repulsive countenance, coarse features, but with a fine harmonious voice. The other three following in a string, are "flowers of the forest," with gipsy eyes and faces, varying in age from fifteen to twenty-one. What can they have done? Not much yet; but perhaps they wish to do something more, and are in quest of absolution per advance. They ask no charity, and this being out of character, their piety gains credit by it. It is the performance of a family yow, and is to be noticed with respect and silence. It is not uncommon here, in cases of domestic calamity, or on the accession of unexpected happiness, to carry their thanksgivings to some favourite shrine, in the same family order as exhibited by the party now passing."-Dr. Beattie's German Courts.

Patent Bread.---A discovery has recently been made in the baking of bread, which promises important consequences. The process, for which Mr. Hicks, of Wimpole-street, has obtained a patent, may be briefly described as follows. His oven is made of iron, of a cylindrical form, so constructed as to be hermetically sealed. The fuel is placed on a plate, which is kept revolving in a circle, under the oven; by which means, the heat is supplied at the smallest expense of fuel. The temperature within the oven is indicated by a thermometer, according to which the application of the fuel is regulated. When the thermometer has reached about 300 degrees, the oven is charged; and then, by a simple process, the door is closed, and made air-tight. In a quarter of an hour, the vapour, which is evolved from the dough, passes through a small aperture in the top of the oven, which communicates with a still, and thus undergoes the process of distillation. The only care required is, not to raise the temperature much above 300 degrees. When the alcohol ceases to drop, it is a sure sign that the bread is sufficiently baked. The time to complete a batch is about an hour and three-quarters. Each quartern loaf produces about an ounce of proof spirit. The advantages of this invention are many and obvious. The bread is purified, and rendered of superior quality, by the expulsion, in vapour, of all the matter which, when allowed to remain, renders it acid and unwholesome; and this very matter is converted into alcohol, in such quantity as to be an object of importance. Bread baked in this way, after being kept a week, is more moist, and fresher, than bread baked bythe present process only two days old. We are informed that a company, for the baking of bread under Mr. Hick's patent, is to be immediately established, and to be called the Metropolitan Genuine Bread Company.
