The History of the Restoration of Hodarehy in France. By Alphonse De Lamartine. Volume I.

Eustace; an Elegy. Second edition.

• [This volume is a tribute of parental affection. In 1842 Mr. Tennyson d'Eyncourt lost his fourth and youngest surviving eon, by yellow fever, in the West Indies, whither Captain Eustace had gone to join his regiment. Various memorials at Barbadoes and at the family seat attest the remem- brance of the survivors ; and his father printed an elegy for private circu- lation, which he has now given to the world in a second edition. A poem written under such circumstances is hardly patent to criticism ;

but it may be said of Eustace that it exhibits nature, insufficiently developed and somewhat overlaid, from want of art, or of exercise. Life and even action are given to the elegy, by introducing a fete which took place at Bay ons Manor, the family seat, in honour of the baptism of the Prince of Wales and the departure of Eustace : and the moral pointed by death in general— "Nor love thy life, nor hate ; but what thou licest Live well is philosophically expanded.] Philosophic Proverbiale. Par Martin F. Tup.per. Traduite en Francais d'apres In dixieme edition, par George Metivier. [This version of Mr. Martin Tupper's "Proverbial Philosophy" is about the best translation we have met with. M. Metivier's rendering is close as re- gards the meaning, similar to the prototype line in point of movement, and

s as much spirit as the original. Here and there the meaning is possesses conveyed rather than happily expressed; but the difference of idiom will produce this in the best of cases.]

Consueludines Sonde. A History of the Gavelkind and other Remark- able Customs of the County of Kent. By Charles Saudys, F.S.A.

curious and elaborate antiquarian volume, which takes for its base the

costumal of Kent"—the law of gavelkind'as preserved by Lombard, and in the form of commentary or disquisition travels over the history and cus- toms of the county, with references to the kingdom at large and to places beyond seas ; for Mr. Sandys begins with the Romans, if not earlier, and does not leave his subjects till he reaches our own day. The book is a cu- rious repertory of legal, topographical, and general archaeology: for the free customs of the men of Kent were, in our author's opinion, the laws of Ed- ward the Confessor, of which the subsequent charters, and Magna, Charta it- self, were a sort of inferior imitation. The matter might have been im- proved in point of arrangement and style.] A Guide to the German Language; or Manual for the Acquirement of

a Grammatical and Conversational Knowledge of German. By

Franz Adolph Moschzisker, St. Phl. of the University of Leipzig, &e. [This manual consists of three parts. The first contains a grammar of the necessary rules only, leaving exceptions and specialties to be pointed out as they occur. The second consists of dialogues, framed as much as possible on the conversation of actual life, and without an English translation, which the pupil is to make for himself. The third part is a selection from English classical writers, which the pupil is to turn into German. The principle of the whole is—practice as soon as possible, and as much of it as possible. There are explanatory annotations, but the book is not designed to be used without a master.] aplay for the Use of Beginners. Ry William Hughes, F.B.G.S. col Series. Edited by the Reverend G. It. Gleig, M.A.) British Plants. By Richard D. Hoblyn, A.M. A Treatise on Botany. By Richard D. Hoblyn, A.M. Keith's Treatise on the Use of the Globes. Condensed, corrected, and improved, by Thomas Atkinson, M.A. (Scott's First Books in Science.)

[These four shilling books are compilations upon the sciences mentioned in their respective titles, by men who not only bring judgment to the task of selection and skill to the presentation of common knowledge, but who can throw into their labours something of an independent air. The brochure on the "Use of the Globes" is founded on Keith's well-known book, but with many omissions and additions.]
