A Practical Treatise on the Herman Teeth ; showing the Causes of their Destruction and the Means of their Preservation. By WiLmAst RO- BERTSON. With Plates. Second edition.

[The author, an eminent dentist in Birmingham, contends that the decay of the teeth is owing to chemical action on their surface, not to inflammatory ac- tion from within ; urging in proof of his theory, Mr. LAWRENCE'S opinion that the bone of the teeth is an inorganic substance, and the enamel not vascular. His directions for preventing decay resolve themselves into the old and simple ones of care and cleanliness when young; and he recommends the filing and stopping of partially defective teeth, and the extraction of incurably bad ones.] Preservation ti the Teeth indispensable to Comfort and Appearance, Health and Longevity : being a second edition of " Dental Practice." By JOHN GRAY, Dentist, &c. [A quackish-seeming attack on the quackery of dentists; reprobating " filing and stopping," and condemning the use of the toothpick, recommending the tooth-brush instead. The author recommends the immediate substitution of an artificial tootle of " hippopotamus-tusk" for every one extracted, as the best means of preserving the rest ; the false tooth, if properly fitted to the guns by a dental mechanician of experience (which Mr. GREY professes to be) retaining its position without gold plates or wires, by the combined influence of capillary attraction and atmospheric pressure. Mr. GREY mentions a common cause of bad teeth that we do not remember to have seen noticed in print before—namely, the biting off of ends of thread by tailors andseamstresses.] Sleep and its Phenomena. An Essay. By JAMES N. PINKERTON, M.D. [Full, clear, and C011an, but with no pretensions to originality either in theory or illustrations. The cases quoted, of remarkable dreams, somnambulism, spectral illusion, and the velocity of impressions in dreams, are extraordinary.] Tea ; its Effects, Medicinal and Mond. By G. G. SIG3IOND, M.D., F.S.A., P.L.S., Professor of Materia Medico to the Royal Medico-

Botanical Society.

Om account of the tea plant, its varieties, and modes of cultivation, prepara- tion, and adulteration, precedes the discourse on its virtues as a drink. Dr. SIGMOND is a great friend to tea, though by no means a "tea-totaller:" he pre- scribes tea as the ordinary beverage of young women, to the exclusion of all fermented liquors ; and recommends it to be taken at dinner for weak diges- tions, in preference to any cold drink, but in moderation, and neither hot nor too strong ; and green tea to be used with caution. The sum and substance of the Doctor's opinion is, that tea is wholesome, as a gentle stimulus and diluent, if taken in moderate quantities ; and that its use does notpromote nervous disorders, though its abuse—especially green tea—is injurious.]

John Smith's Letters, with " Picters" to match. Containing Reasons why John Smith should not change his Name ; Miss Debby Smith's Juvenile Spirit ; together with the only Authentic History extant of the late War in Our Disputed Territory.

[A reprint of sonic letters which appeared in the Neve York Mirror hist winter, on the subject of the boundary dispute. In style they are an imitation of CROCKETT'S Memoirs and Major DOWNING'S Letters, but without their gro- tesqueness and breadth. The subjects of their humorous ridicule are village manners in Maine, and the Militia of that State ; but the points touched are too local and confined to excite much interest beyond the Eastern parts of America.] Sketches of Married Lifi. By Mrs. POLLEN, Author of " Tire Well- Spent Hour," &c. [The reprint, we suppose, of an American tale, designed to show that religion and perfect confidence are necessary elements of happiness in the marriage state. In incidents, character, and style, it does not greatly differ from the ethico-religions novels of England, unless it be that religious terms are not bandied with so much freedom. The most characteristic distinction, however, is the incidental glimpse it gives of American manners ; which, after all, do not seem greatly to differ from those of England.] A Greek Lea•icon to the New Testament, on the basis of Dr. Robinson's; designed for Junior Students in Divinity, and the higher classes in Schools. By CII ARLES ROBSON. [On the basis, as the title page states, of Dr. Ronixsox's; his redundant quota- tious bel11., lopped away, his oversights corrected, and sonic improvements being made in sliowing the derivations of compound. words, .and tracing the meaning from the primitive to the Scriptural sense of the word. It Seems well adapted to facilitate the advance of students of the Greek Testament.] The Authors of France; • an Historical, Aneedotical, and Literary Outline of French literature, from the Origin of the French Language to the Present Period. By ACHILLES ALIIITES, B.A. and B.L. of the Uni- versity of Paris, Author of " Les Siitles," &c.

[A view of the origin and progress of French literature, jammed into sixty or seventy very small pages, with a chronological list of authors as well.] Poems by Lord Leigh. Now first collected.

[Lord LEIGH seems to think his promotion to the Peerage a fit time for col- lecting his poems—and perhaps it is ; but they are not of a nature to excite more public attention than they may have elicited already. Smoothness of versification, it certain level propriety of thought, and a facility in incitation, is their highest merit. In the " Epistles to a Friend in Town," the writer imi- tates PocE, or rather POPE'S imitators ; in the so-called " Political Poems," though few of them are much more political than GOLDSMITH'S " Traveller," he imitates " Childe Harold," and the miscellaneous productions are not of a nature to call for remark.] Catiline, or the Annan Conspiracy; an Historical Drama, in five acts. By 3onx Eomusen cAns, Esq., Author of " Italy " and "The Deluge." Printed for private circulation.

Don .hush Junior; a Poem, by Byron's Ghost. Edited by G. R. WYTHEN BAXTER, Author of " Humour and Pathos," &c.

SERIALS.

Life; of Arthur Duke of Wellington. By W. H. MAXWELL. Part II. [Extends from the campaign of Assay-e to Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY'S pre- parations to depart for the Peninsula. In the present part, Mr. MAXWELL, dealing with more genial subjects, has recovered his style as a military narrator; he has also drawn largely and skilfully from the Wellington Despatches: but the chief characteristic of the work is the finish of its Illustrations, whether portraits, pictures, wood-cuts, or plans.] Travels in the East, including a Journey in the Holy Land. By AI, PHONSE OE LAMARTINE. From the French : a New Translation for the present edition. With a Memoir of the Author, and Notes. (People's Edition.) LAMARTI NE'S Pilgremage to the Holy Land is a book for the many ; and publishing a "people's edptinu " of it, Messrs. CHAMBERS have rendered an acceptable service—that-which a year or two Imo cost a guinea-and-a-half, may now be bought for three and mnepence ! Tlie religious enthusiasm and high-raised stvly of the author, blended with his tender and benevolent senti- ments, are calculated to excite the feelings of the unlearned reader ; and the glowing pictures of places whose names arc invested with sacred associations, will elevate his imagination. In the author's most exalted moods there is an under-current of sincerity and simplicity, which gives something of the plain- ness of truth to his eloquence. This translation is more literal and less elegant than the other, and the critical reader will detect some Gallicisms ; but it is not deficient in strength or fluency, and its merit is above the average. Sonic useful explanatory notes are added.]
