MISS MARTINEAU'S HILL AND VALLEY.

WE have just received Miss MARTINEAU'S Second Illustration of Po- litical Economy. It is called The Hill and the Valley. Our readers will recollect how highly we esteemed the Life in the Wilds; and will know what we mean when we say, that the second number greatly surpasses the first. It abounds more in character and in- ' cident, and possesses more ease and self-possession on the part .of the authoress. In our opinion, this series deserves to be, and will probably prove, the most popular little publication of the mra. Since Miss EDGEWORTH, there has been nothing in its kind equal , to The Hill and the Valley. We believe that the world knows by this time, and we are sure publishers do, that our unreserved ! praise is not lightly given.- The sibjeet of this-Number is the relations existing between Capital and Labour.
