The Fortress of Komdrom (Comm) during the War of Independence in Hungary in 1848-48. By Colonel Sigiemund Thaly. Translated by William Rushton, M.A. With a Plan of the Fortress.

[the strong fortress of Comorn, as the reader of the Hungarian war will re- member, was only surrendered after the capitulation of Goegey and his army ; and then upon favourable terms, its strength being such that capture was out of the question except through famine. A detailed account of the at- tempts made upon it is rather late in the day, when the contemporary in- terest of the Hungarian struggle has passed. The military narrative is in- terspersed with accounts of the differences among its defenders; and as Klapka placed the author under arrest and brought him to a court-martial, it is probable that the jedgments are not always unblessed.]

School Economy; a Practical Book on the beat Modes of Establishing and, Teaching Scheele, and of making them thoroughly Useful to the Working Classes by means of Moral and Industrial Training. By Jelinger Symons, A.B. [Essays on our national wheels, with various hints on the best mode of este- blishing and improving them, followed by suggestions for such. considerable extensions of the present plan as almost to amount to a new system. Mr. Jeliuger Symons considers mere intellectual improvement as a very small part of education, and perhaps mischievous unless accompanied by moral training. To accomplish this last, ha- would' partly depend on improved teachers, but mainly on industrial ecenpation for the pupils in the cultiva- tion of land. Many facts and much Information will be found in School _Economy, though not always new. The book is practical, with nothing of the schemer about it.]

Discourses on the Lord's Prayer. By Daniel Moore, M.A.

[The eingleaesa of eubject gives unity in this volume of sermons on the Lord's Prayer, but its limitation leads, in a literary sense to undue expan- sion, The thorough theological exhaustion of the meaning of words so as to exhibit the interpretation in every variety, though practised by the old di- vines, is a perilous attempt, and little adapted to the taste of the day. Mr. Moore has various learning and fertility of interpretative invention, but the modern reader will desire more rapidity of progreas and breadth of died thus the plan of the preacher permits him to attain.]

Ddlos-Kating ; a Summer Book. By George William Curtis, Author of "Nile Notes."

[A series of papers written on places in America, with an occasional reference to European scenery—as"The Hudson and the Rhine." The incidents are few,. description and reverie predominating. Brevity, variety of topics, and a mixture of prose and poetry, render the papers pleasant ; but the slightness of the matter adapts them for a magazine rather than a volume.]

Firs/hays. By William Whitmore.

[T.hese /ire/nags have more of stuff and future promise than many .peeras that come before us. The choice of subjects is less hacknied thee in the majority of occasional verses, and there is greater freshness of thought, though as yet crude. The best piece is "The Epoch of Revolution" ; slaw vey of Continental events, from the extreme Liberal point of view.] Timoleon ; a Tragedy, in five acts.. By Robert W. Jameson, Esq., Author of " Nimrod.',

The White Château; a Tragedy.

'he Great Exhibition, and London in 1851. Reviewed by Dr. Lordlier, &c. [An instructive and varied memento of the Great Exhibition, sent forth by Messrs. Longman. The volume contains a revised and enlarged edition, of the elaborate papers that appeared in the Times on the classes of articles ex- hibited in the world's wonder, contributed by Dr. Lardner, together with a selection of the papers written i fur the Journal des Debate by its foreign cor- respondents. Of these M. Michel Chevalier is the most instructive (in poli- tical economy,) M. Jelin Lemoinne the most rhetorical, M. Hector Berlioz the alost interesting. There is also a "Comparison of the Industry of Paris and London," addressed by Baron Dupin to his class. The effects of the Revolu- tion of 1848 on the feelings of the workman, and its disastrous bearing on she French exhibitions at the Crystal Palace, are, however, the most promi- nent topics.]

The Two Books of Francis Bacon : of the Profwience and Advance- ment of Learning, Divine and Iftiman.

in admirable addition to the many books combining a neat text with or without occasional assistance from notes, for which the studious public are indebted to Parker and Son. The text is founded on the editions of 1605 and 1633, with no other change than that of spelling : an adherence the siore necessary since the editor finds that the common editions of the Ad- ratteement of Learning differ materially from the original text ; "words and expressions are changedi terminations altered, and in fact the whole text to a great extent modernized." The publication is intended as an English school-book, but is available for a much wider range of readers.] Poetry of the Anti-Jacobin: comprising the celebrated Political and

Satirical Poems, Parodies, and Jeux-d'Essnit of the Right Honour- able George Canning, the Earl of Liverpool, Marquis Wellesley, the Right Honourable J. H. Frere, G. Ellis, Esq., W. Gifford, Esq., and others. New and revised edition, with Explanatory Notes.

-Time, we see, is beginning to tell upon some of the poetry of the Anti-,Taco- ; but the best and best-known pieces are as fresh as ever —aueh as the Needy Knife-grinder, the Elegy on the Death of Jean Bon St. Andre, the at- tack upon the Duke of Norfolk, "I am a hearty Jacobin." The present edition is neatly sent forth, and illustrated with new notes, which the lapse of nearly sixty years has rendered necessary.] Lectures and Miscellanies. By Henry James.

[Au American publication, to a great extent a revised reprint of lectures or articles. The subjects of Mr. Henry James are political, theological, and critical.]

NEW SERIAL.

Flowers from Foreign Lands, their History and Botany, &c. By Ro- bert Tyas, BA., &c. No. I.

(The chief features of this aerial are a pretty plate and a cheap price. The text is as much about the countries in which the flowers grow as about the flowers themselves.] Pam:worm
