PROGRESS OF PUBLICATION.

BESIDES the foregoing works, a number of publications are before us; sonic of them requiring a closer examination and greater space than can be given them in a week of such political interest; others of equal pretension, but perhaps of a snore doubtful cha- racter; some of a serial class, the fact of whose appearance it is sufficient to chronicle; and others again which deal in topics and. speculations that possess more charm for their authors, and the circle they are addressed to, than for the general reader. The utmost, however, that circumstances allow us to do with the score of works before us shall be done, though that amounts to little more than to arrange them in classes as well as we can, and pre- sent a sort of catalogue raisonne to the reader.

POETRY.

LEIGH HUNT'S Captain Sword and Captain Pen.

The Faust of Goethe attempted in English Rhyme, by the Honourable

ROBERT FOSTER.

Ffflarts by an Invalid: from internal evidence conjectured to be the work of poor GALT, and which we can recommend as containing poetry much beyond the average run of verse.
