History of Hannibal the Carthayenian. By Jacob Abbott, Author of "The Young Christian," &c. With Illustrations. [A. continuation of Mr. Abbott's illustrated historical biographies, which began. with Mary Queen of Scots. The plates of the present volume are less satisfac- tory than the plans and pictures in its predecessor, since the original scenes can rarely be identified, and the narratives that describe them and the actions that took place in them are not always .minutely clear. The diffieultiee attending the ancient accounts Mr. Abbott has not aimed at clearing up; but he presents a plain and agreeably-written narrative of Ilannibal's life and exploits as they have come down to us, taking in the modern views on disputed points.] Se Gefylsta (the Helper): an Anglo-Saxon Delectos. Serving as a First Class-book of the Language. By the Reverend W. Barnes, of St. John's College, Cambridge. [Contains a well-chosen selection of short pieces on religion, ethics, history, &c., from Saxon writers, with a glossary of the words used in the text. The "help- ing" portion is the skeleton of an Anglo-Saxon Accidence, exhibiting the declen- sions, with a tabular view of the formation of verbs. It is a useful first-book for those who wish to study Saxon, or as an early class-book in schools, for which the author chiefly designs it.] A Manual of Botany; being an Introduction to the Study of the Structure, Physiology, and Classification of Plants. By John Hutton Balfour,.M.D., F.L.S., 8re. Illustrated by numerous wood-cuts. [The distinguishing features of this compilation are, the application of botanical knowledge to practical objects—as the cultivation of plants; the manner in which Dr. Balfour brings together the latest discoveries so as to supersede the consults,- tion of many volumes; and the generally elaborate treatment of the whole. There is also more of style about Dr. Balfour's composition than is generally the case with manuals of this kind.] The Popular Works of Johann Gottlieb Fichte. Translated from the Ger- man, with a Memoir of the Author, by William Smith. In two volumes. [These two volumes form a collected edition of those works of Fichte which Mr. Chapman has published from time to time under the superintendence of Mr. Smith; to which the translator has added one or two other lucubrations of the master that now appear in English for the first time. A portrait of Fichte in middle age accompanies the second volume, and looks more stoat and respectable than beseems a Transcendentalist.] Popular Rhymes and Nursery Tales. A Sequel to "The Nursery Rhymes of England.' By James Orchard Hall iwell, Esq.

[A varied and interesting collection of stories and rhymes of different classes,

very frequently illustrative of in superstitions, games, or the people's ob- servations on nature preserved m quaint verses. Some of the "Fireside Stories" including such things as part of the adventures of Jack the Giant-killer, scarcely fall under Mr. Halliwell's avowed object; but they are as attractive as any portion of the book nevertheless.] The Works of Virgil Translated. The first four Pastorals, the Georgics, and the first four Eneids, by the Reverend Rama Kennedy. The last six Pastorals, and the last eight Eneida, by Charles Bann Kennedy. In two volumes.

[The aim of Messieurs Kennedy is to present an exact translation of Virgil's sense, preserving likewise the distinguishing characteristic of his verse, the variety of the pauses. With this object, blank verse is chosen, as admitting greater facility in both points.]

The Temple; Sacred Poems and Private Ejaculations; with The Priest to the Temple, or the Country Parson. By George Herbert. [A neat edition of Herbert's Poems and "Country Parson"; perhaps the best specimen of the serious and respectable feeling of the age of James and Charles the First extant in books.] Governess Life: its 'Trials, Duties, and Encouragements. By the Author of "Memorials of Two Sisters," fee. [An account of the new institution for the training of governesses, called.Queen's College; with elaborate sketches of the pros and cons of governess he,, inter- mingled with a good deal of advice both religions and worldly.] Crichton. By William Harrison Ainsworth, Esq. Third edition, revised. With Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne. [A third edition of Mr. Ainsworth's romance, printed in a single volume some- what after the fashion of Mr. James's collected works.] Beauties of Channing. With an Essay prefixed, by William Mountford. [A small volume of the most striking passages from Charming's writings. We suppose a cheap affair, as it is rather coarse in its typography.]

The National Cyclopedia of Useful Knowledge. Volume VII. Hanseatic League—Ligustrnm.
