Bibliotheca Classics.: Edited by George Long, M.A., and the Reverend A. J. Maclean, M.A. Winne I. X. Tullii Ciceronis Orationes. With a Commentary by George Long. 'Volume L Verrinarum libri so tear. • [This volume is the commencement of a new speculation, which aims at the uction,of an extensive anki.possitily a complete edition of the Greek and atin Classics. The entire work will be under the general superintendence of Mr. George Long and the Reverend A. J. Maclean ; particular authors being undertitienhy individual-scholars. •

The series starts with the Orations of Cicero, edited by Mr. Long: the volume 'before us contains the orations against Verret, and forms in .all points a very ffiraurable. specimen of the new undertaking. The book is handsome ; the text, chjefly after Zenpt, has been carefully attended to, and the editor has brought dassical learning and a knowledge of Boman hew to its elucida- tion ; whilehe has animated scholarship by a vigorous homely English-spirit and diction, mid directed wound common sense and a living knowledge to elucidate old Roman practices. Some of his notes may perhaps be considered lengthy; but the commentator is writing-for students, and fulness is better than obscure brevity. Annotationsan particular passages do not form the sole illustrations by the editor. He prefixes or appends to the orations several valuable essays on Roman law and practice, as well as a curious chapter on the return to agriculture -under the Romans, and two chapters on the state of Sicily. The undertaking deserves to succeed, and we wish it success.]

[An-account of the classical gods mid amddesses, of the rites connected With their worship, and .of -the Egyptian mythology. The book was originally compiled by its author owing to the difficulty she found in meeting with a work adapted le her pupilsi the, booke slia encountered being either too profoind .and elaborate forheginners, or too .sli,ght to convey much know- ledge.

EnglandBefare the Norman Conquest. By the Author of "Domestic Scenes in Greenland and Iceland."

By Thomas Turner, Esq., Barrieter-at-law, Author of "A Treatise on Copyright in De- sign " &e. well-arranged, burin parts a rather cent essay on the law of patents ; each branch of the subject being treated under its own head, and illustrated-by macs. With the law Mr. Turner combines a species of commentary on policy and justice; himself leaning to the -side of fairly rewarding invention. To the law of patents 'is added an expotition of the Registration Act, and a varietyof forms and practical information. Mr. Turner has also appended to-his-treatise a notiee of the various sets of Parliament bearing uponthe subjects, or the acts themselves.] Miscellaneous Essays. By-the Rererend Edward Mangin,

The .Rhymer's Botni 4t Collection of Bantlings. Ity Thomas Watson.

Love and Loyalty. the Author& "Irrelagh." hada, or the Siaid.of Kidwelly; and other Poems. By D. Rice Jones Aberhouddu.

The Battle of the Frogs and Hire. After Homer. By the Singing Mouse. Illustrated with coloured Drawings and Woad-cuts. .""The Rhymer's Family" is a collection of songs, tales, and occasional poems, that have already appeared in a fugitive form. Many of them are Scotch in dialect, With some of the Scotch 'humour and tenderness, and a good deal of mannerism. The subjects are too frequently after Burns; so that Mr. Watson labours under the same disadvantage as a man who pours

his own metal into another's mould. The Superseded Man," a.poem on the sufferings of those workmen who are left behind by mechamealamprove- ments, may not in mere literary execution 1m better than the rest, but Wiles the freshness of idea which a contemporary subject produces, and indicates that Mr. Watson would be more successful if he looked more closely at life, instead of easily taking his themes-from books.

The "Love and Loyalty" of the author of Irrclagh have some resemblance to that of the satirist-

" Who, when-three sovereigns died, could aearee be next,

Considering whata.gracions prince was next."

George the Fourth is 'ignored. but thereis love, loyalty, and grief for

George the Third, the Princess Charlotte, and William the Fourth, rising to rejoicing on-the accession of Victoria. The marriage and maternity of the Queen, the-Crystal Palace, the Wiles of Boma, an anticipated "millen- Mal .reign of Christ, with love and -loyalty embracing.his baleved.feet, Satan bound, and. ankind blest," ere among other topics of•the poem. Mr. D. Rice Jones Aberhouddu tells us he is a young man ; and his poems correspond with that announcement. -" Isoldal' is the -versification of a Welsh legend in the style of -Byron ; the other poems are miscellaneous. The Battle of the YEC198 and Ilia. There is, apparently, some intention or ;purpose, eitherjecoae or satirical, in this well-enough versified .account be

of a war between the frogs and the =ice decided-in _favour of the frogs by

the assistance of the crabs: .but what the purpose is-we-cannot tell.

The new editions are not remarkable. The Buena edition of &mint-airs " Sketch of the Religious History of the SlavonicNations," originally pro- mulgated as lectures, forms a handsome volume. Clarkson's account of 'the Quakers' customs and opinions, under the title -of a "Portraiture of -the Christian -Profession and Practice of the Society of Friends,,' has been re- vised (I) by the present editor ; who has contributed a life of the author.
