1. THE Weird Woman is an Irish story, from the manufactory of Mr. NEW MAN. We must do the author the justice to say, that he has made out a tale in which, with a good deal of the horrible and some of the incredible, the genuine novel-reader will find as much amusement as in the greater portion of the expensive affairs that are got up on the west side of Temple Bar. With the story of Cullen and Feeleeta, which is introduced rather abruptly in the first volume, we were much pleased.

2. These are pleasant sweepings ; and if the author's study afford many such, he would do well to clear it out for general pro- fit. The lines on leaving France are good sturdy English, such as SWIFT might have written ; and indeed the Dean has written many that are not superior.

S. This is a little volume of pleasing rhymes. The longest poem is much above the level of every-day poetry, and many of the smaller pieces are very good.

4. This is an able and elegant essay. The author evinces a per- fect knowledge of general principles, great industry, a pure taste, and a sound judgment. The criticism on the Father of Poetry is admirably written, and in the best possible spirit. Our thanks are due to Mr. COLERIDGE for the entertainment and instruction which the perusal of this first part has afforded us ; and if these may sup- ply to him any additional stimulus to the prosecution of his labours, we heartily and freely tender them. 5. The materials of Mr. BICHENO'S volume were collected in a .tour through the principal counties of Ireland during the course of last year. He has treated most of the topics that divide the thinkers and writers of that country, with great ability, and with great candour, neither extenuatity, nor aggravating the faults and the virtues of any party. The Chapters on Catholics and on Pro- testants are well worthy of a serious perusal.

6. These are conversations on various parts of Old Testament. Scripture, between a mother and her little girl. The object of the author is pious, and the means which she has adopted to attain it are judicious. The dialogue between the teacher and the pupil is well managed, and will be read with pleasure and advantage by- many who are more advanced in years than the. latter is Supposed to be. We like the remarks the better that they are apparently- the suggestions of the text, and not of its commentators.

7. This is a second edition of a curious and clever book, which contains many questionable propositions. The author is ofopinion that the grand source of all our present difficulties is " the rapid advancement in scientific power." The primal curse of man was labour ; and the secondary curse is the progress of invention, by which labour is daily rendered less necessary. The argument is assuredly unsound, but in the Revolt of the Bees it is ingeni- ously put.

8. To readers who are acquainted with those works, we shall but describe the peculiar claims of this book by saying, that it is a ju- dicious combination of Dr. ADAM'S Grammar with Mali-ties Introduction. It contains also a few reading lessons after the model of RUDDIMAN'S Rudiments. We think the work will be found useful both in schools and by private tutors.

9. There is not the slightest attempt at novelty of fact in this pamphlet ; and the zeal of the author to prove whatever exists not only right, but admirable, is so very commonplace a zeal, that it • will hardly receive, and certainly does not merit, patronage.

10. A book of solid instruction on a subject of much interest to landed gentlemen, and indeedto all gentlemen who reside wholly or partially in the country. Though the remarks of the ing-enious author—who is a practical planter, and describes the processes only which he has found to be successful—are chiefly directed to the rearing of forest-trees in the bleak climate of Scotland, they will be found equally applicable to numerous portions of England. The chapter on the formation of an oak forest is exceedingly vain- . able, and the Commissioners of 'Woods and Forests would do well to consult it. That on Sir HENRY STEWART'S plan of transplant- ing is also extremely good ; • and also that which immediately fol- lows, " on the means of speedily wooding pleasure-ground." There is an useful Appendix, containing lists of plants and prices, tables for measuring timber, drains, and a number of other parti- culars connected with the general subject.

11. Why is there so very marked an inferiority in the flowers that we meet in almost all the gardens about London ? There is no want of supply, for every good or rare flower in the world may be met in our nurseries ; there is no want of money, or of taste to purchase and select them. It must, therefore, arise from want of knowledge, that in the parterres of the wealthiest of our citizens

we are offended with the view of plants that have been banished, for many years, from the humble plots of the weavers of Manchester and Paisley. Mr. MAINS book will supply this knowledge ; and we hope his labours will be crowned in a few years by the success which a florist would most desire—a reform in a department where beauty and elegance ought ever to reign, and which is at present occupied, almost universally, by what is commonplace or vulgar. His tables and his instructions give every information that the owner of a cottage can desire, of the roots he ought to possess, and of the best methods of perpetuating the possession of them.

12. This first number of the Cabinet Atlas contains five maps, very neatly executed, and to be had in colours as well as plain. As the scale is too small for the insertion of more than the prin- cipal towns, each map of a country is accompanied by a co-ious table of the names of places of inferior note, with their latitudes and longitudes. The design of the publication is good ; and it will be most acceptable as a book of easy reference. There are sonic inaccuracies and some misprints in the map of comparative heights, which call for correction. The size of the plate is rather too small for this description of map.

13. For our own particular selves, in wandering through an in- teresting country, we utterly and intensely abhor all tell-me-where- to-stare instructors. To those, however, who do not love to go alone, or who are not well drilled in that useful art, we can con- fidently recommend Mr. LEIGH. In his Guide to the Lakes, he gives every thing, and more than every thing, that the most timorous and exigent of metropolitan tourists can desire. His observations are minute, and his maps elegant.

14. The object of these volumes is to inculcate the principle, that the best preparation which a man can make for the honours of the future, is a religious discharge of the duties prescribed to him by his station in the present life. On this eternal truth, the very excellent author has given a series of essays, which the scholar will peruse with pleasure, from the clearness and cogency of the arguments ;. and the religionist with edification, from the sound and rational piety the sentiments. To the serious, we can confidently recommend the Living Temple; and if our lighter- minded readers will be induced,. by our exhortation, to give it a perusal, we venture to promise they will notbave occasion to regret their labour. 15. This is a well-written little work, upon one of the nicest and most difficult departments of Latin composition. The observations of the author are evidently the fruit of much expe- rience and close attention ; and they have occasionally a degree of delicate exactness and propriety not very usual in books of this kind, and which are calculated to afford a profitable exercise to the minds. of students of a higher class than those for whom the book is professedly- intended.

16. This is-a reprint of a class-book intended for the schools of Boston in America, and drawn up by the Rev. Mr. PIERRE- POINT, a clergyman there. It differs from those in ordinary use, in containing more extracts from modern writers than most of them do. About one-third is American. This imparts a fresher and a national interest to the collection. The plan, however, is not new. The people 01' Set ,tland had several school collections of a similar kinil at least half a dozen of years ago. Two of these, that we have seen, were eienniled by clergymen, the Rev. Dr. THOMSON anl the late Rev. l\fr. HARDIE; and one, a very cheap publication, by the Parochial Schoolmasters.
