PROGRESS OF PUBLICATION.
THE tide of publication is again flowing, and a pile of booke,bas accumulated on our table; some of which will require a fuller notice than we can yet give—some may be dismissed at once— very many are of a species that scarcely require notice at all.
Of the first class are
Memoirs, Correspondence, and Manuscripts of General Lafayette. Pub- lished by his Family. In three large and thick octavo volumes, with an indifferently lithographed bead of the hero when young. Nick of the Woods. A novel in three volumes; written by Dr. Mtn, an American, and introduced to the English public by the au- thor of Rookwood. The subject is good—the adventures and hardships of the harkwood founders of Kentucky, nearly half a century ago.
Geraldine, a Tale of Conscience. A story, in three volumes, of u con- version from the Protestant to the Romish faith ; written with much
cleverness, and some skill ; but the writer has all the one-sided enthu- siasm of a young convert, and is perhaps "in haste to tell what she has not learned."
National Education. By OSMOND DE BEAUVOIR PRIAULX. The Ninth Bridgewater Treatise. A Fragment. By CHARLES BARRAGE, Esq.
