The marked feature of the present week's pliblications is the manlier, of new editions. Messrs. Longman have issued a complete edition ofthe Peed.- . cal 'Works of Joanna Raillie, forming a handsome volume in double columns. . Mr. Murray. has sent forth a variety of books, of greater, poptilarity if not of greater mark. Foremost is a new edition ofKugler'e "School of Painting," • which in many of its opinions and much of its treatment seems a new work. The-materials for this were furnished by 'Kugler, but the writing-was com- mitted to Dr. Jac. Bureidaardt ; the translation Sir -Charles Eastlake has .sometimes'-adhered to the :prior .work,. as in his opinion oontaining,juster views-on the subject. , The book is now illustrated by mimeraue wood-cuts, small, but spirited and beautiftilly clear, and giving a much:better idea, of the painters than mere critical description ever can attain. The -oilmen books from the- same publisher are of a more amusing charac- ter, of a- picket size, and at a- moderate price. -; Our old friend "The Re- jected Addresses," the kindliest-and -most sueteseul if- not the best Of 'bur- lesques, has attained the honours of a -twenty-second edition, with some far- ther-additional notes. The fourth edition of Davy's '"Dahnotiia ".lasheen • ted..frem.a copy revised ;by the author shortly before -his death.: notes e -been added, -most of them relating to factszeceatly ascertained. The neatness of the .garbis the novelty in ,the " Consolations in Traver" -and " Coleridge Table-talk." The new edition- of Mr. Docl's indispensable--annual contains- various -minor improvements, and.a• new article on the inferior titles of -living Peers ; by which the aliaappearance of some hundreds-of well-known names is .accounted•for." • The Dramatic and' Peeled Works Of .Toanna Baillie.

The ,Girlhood of Shakspere's Heroines ; in a Series of. Fifteen'Taks. By Mary -Cowden Clarke. Tale 1.—Portia; . the Heiress of Belmont. -IL-;-The Thane's Daughter.

[Mrs. Cowden Clarke is well read in our early English poets, and 'her use- ful book the complete Concordance to Shakspere must have saturated her mind, with the great dramatist's works, even if she had not been previously acquainted with them. She is also well qualified for tale-writing, by an agreeable style sufficiency of invention and dramatic_ power, and much good 'feeling. 'Something more . than these qualities, however, is required to ,follow. or-to-introduce Shalmpere ; since, if we put various inherent difficul- ties aside, -the -imagination Of the reader requires more than the writer can ever satisfy These tales, exhibiting-the- supposed family and personal antecedents of Shukspere's heroines, would have received applause as stories. ;Associated-in the reader's mind, as they must necessarily be, with Macbeth, -and the Merchant of Venice, they will be undervalued from the inevitable : comparison.]
