The principal object of this treatise is to recommend the treatment of hip-joint disease adopted by the late Dr. Verral; which consists in keeping the patient in an easy prone position by means of a peculiar couch. The limb is thus kept per- fectly at rest, and in a more favourable position than the patient assumes in bed, besides giving him relief from the sameness of a bed, and avoiding the excoriation which arises when he is confined to it for a -long period.]

The Principles of Political Economy: with some Inquiries respecting their Application, and a Sketch of the Rise and Progress of the Science. By J. R. M'Culloch, Esq., Member of the Institute of France. The fourth edi- tion, corrected, enlarged, and improved. [No substantial change has been made in this fourth edition of Mr. M`Culloeh's Principles compared with the third; but the whole work has been carefully re- vised, and minor improvements effected throughout. "Numerous additions have been made to the chapter which treats of the circumstances that determine the common and average rate of wages; partly because of the magnitude and import- ance of the class dependent on wages, and partly because of the prevalence of doctrines regarding the employment of labour which appear to be alike false and dangerous." An elaborate index has been added to the work.] Introduction to the Study of the Social Sciences. By the Author of " Out- - lines of Social Economy?'

[A aeries of short essays on some topics of political economy, morals, and politics; the political economy predominating. They are designed as an elementary book for youth.]

Napoleon Louis Bonaparte, First President of France. Biographical and Personal Sketches, including a Visit to the Prince at the Castle of Ham. By Henry Wikoff. The California and Oregon Trail; being Sketches of Prairie and Rocky Mountain Life. By Francis Parkman junior. ,

[These two volumes are American reprints from American periodicals, and will probably require recurring to: the California and Oregon Trail, for its subject, if Mr. Parkman junior has not contrived to mar it; the Personal Sketches of the French President, for the striking self-sufficiency of Mr. Henry Wikot; if for nothing more. The writer seems to be a 'cross" between the Russian diploma- tic agent and the Yankee, with the conspicuous qualities of each brood.]

Clement Lorimer; or the Book with the Iron Clasps. A Romance. By Angus B. Reach. Illustrated by George Cruikshank. [The completed parts of Mr. Reach's fiction, done up in scarlet and gold.

The reports have been revised, and some notes added.]
