Louis Kossuth and the Last Revolution in Hungary and Transylvania. Containing a detailed Biography of the Leader of the Magyar Move- ment.

A Lay of Hero- Worship, and other Poems. By David Holt.

An Introductory Treatise on Mensuration, in Theory and Practice. Containing the Investigation of every Principle, and several improved Rules of Operation. By J. it Young, late Professor of Mathematics in the Royal Belfast Academical Institution.

[The object of this treatise is to furnish an introductory book on mensura- tion, intelligible in its practice to those whose knowledge does not extend be- yond common arithmetic; though the reason of the rules will not be appre- ciated without an acquaintance with geometry and algebra. This end Mr. Young seems to have attained. Such of his rules as we have looked at are dear, and his notes exhibiting the geometry or algebra of the question are usefully illustrative. There is also a worldly tone about his explanations and recommendations, which raises the book above the dry and dogmatic style of many school-books.] A System of English Grammar; with numerous Exercises, progressively arranged. For the use of Schools and Private Students. By John White, Teacher of English, Geography, and History, Edinburgh. [Great clearness, with practical utility, or rather a thorough adaptation for efative use, is the distinguishing character of Mr. White's cheap and unpre- tending book. It does not require the word "teacher" on the titlepage to be able to say that this System of English Grammar could only have been compiled by a man accustomed to tuition. The rules, if not altogether safe from very close criticism, are sufficient, and very plain ; but it is the easy yet thorough manner in which the exercises impress and familiarize the pupil with the rule, that mark the man accustomed to instruct others. No theory could have reached it so, completely.]

The Manual of Geography, Physical and Political. Profusely inns- • trated. For the use of Schools and Families. By Ed rard Farr, F.S.A., Author of "Continuation of flume and Smollett's History of Eng- land," &c.

[This book resembles on a small scale Murray's well-known Encyclopedia of Geography. It aims at combining a general description of the political or social characteristics of a country with the names and positions of places. This plan, however, is often followed, and to nearly the same extent as in the Manual of Geography ; the difference in the book -before us einsiste in its precise division, every country containing two chapters, one devothd to physical, one to political geography. The distinguishing feature of the book is its wood-cuts; which are numerous, striking, and often directly illustra- tive of the text.] _Practical Suggestions for the Prevention of Consumption. By G. Cal- vert Holland, M.D., 8se.

[A popular account of Dr. Calvert Holland's views upon consumption, with some equally popular directions for preventing it by precaution, exercise, and regimen. There is nothing in the volume that strikes us as being new, except the efficacy which the author ascribes to' friction, and his opinions upon the " nervous eneroy " ; both of which are curtailed repetitions of his work on the Nature and Cure of Consumption, &c., which we noticed last week.]

Tales of larkbeck. Second Series. By the Author of "Lives of Certain Fathers of the Church," &c. Edited by the Reverend Wm. Bennett, M.A. [A series of tales chiefly founded on the incidents or traditions of a rural village. Though not altogether to be called religious, the importance of religion on Tractarian principles is continually illustrated in the story. They are well and forcibly written, but somewhat melodramatic.] The Age and its Architects : Ten Chapters _on_ _the English People in relation to the Times. By Edwin Paxton Hopil.,

[A quaint title; the book really consisting of a series, of chapters chiefly on the actual condition and prospects of England, with wine reference to the past in illustration of the present. It is a species of outpouring in the plat- form style.]

Black's Iron Highway from London to Edinburgh and Glasgew, via. Birminghani, Lancaster, and Carlisle. [A selection from Black's Picturesque Tourist,. containing a map of the ffirmt and circuitous railway routes along the North-western line between London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow •, with an account of the towns, &c. along the line, and the seats on either side of it. The plan is a good one, and de- serves extension to other and especially to pleasure lines. "rok-book" form is sufficiently full, and very easy of reference.]

Chambers's Papers for the People. Volume IV. [This work sustains its reputation for variety, and an attention to subjects of passing interest. Of these last, the present volume contains California, the Science of the Sun-beans, the Bourbon Family, and a sketch of the public career with an estimate of the public character of Sir Robert Peel.] Guide to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, including Orkney and Zetland; descriptive of their Scenery, Statistics, Antiquities, &c.
