The Poetical Modes of the Reverend H. H. Milman. In three vols. Poems by John Sterling. Essay on the Lift and Institutions of OP, King of Mendez, A. D. 755- 794. By the Rev. HENRY MACKENZIE, MA. of Pembroke College, Oxfbrd, Master of Bancroft's hospital.

[This little volume was a successful prize essay in 1836, for a premium which Mr. COEELAND established during his Mayoralty ; the Slime probably that produced the Life of Gresham. The Lift and Institutions if (3,bra displays research, and furnishes some information respecting the Anglo-Saxon institu-

thous. The composition, too, is scholarly; but the author has not seen, or has not seized, the more striking and characteristic traits of the time, whicht are necessary to give life and interest to his subject.] The Temperance Emigrants; a Drama, descriptive of the difficulties and encouragements incident to Temperance Societies, and general tem- perance life. By JOHN DENLOP, Esq., Author of "The Philosophy of Drinking Usage in Great Britaiu and Ireland."

This is a drama apparently written to advocate Teetotalism, though the want of dramatic skill in the author is so great that it almost seems intended to ridi- cule the practice. The plot of the piece turns upon a Scottish a:Mister being sc. cretly addicted to drams, whilst he is paying his addresses to the daughter of a Presadent of it Temperance Society. The wedding is contiogent mom 10./ election to a parish ; but success defeats itself : t he lover gets dial nk iii public at the election-dinner, and being discarded, blows his lfains; out ; and Ills intended bride and father-in-law emigrate to Australia! Of dramatic effect t here is none, but there is some reality in the characters and dialogue. The tipplers, however, are much more spirited and amusing thau the tempe. rance people, bating the clergyman, who is maudlin.]

Poems and Songs by Robert Giljilhen. Third edition.

[A collection Id' songs and oecasional poems, chiefly on Scottish subjects, and III the Seottish dialect. The model of Mr. G rhrILLA X is BE Is Ns, whose mail- user is imitated with success ; mid the volume displays much fluency.] Grecian Stories. By MARIA HACK. EA selection from Grecian history, told in the form of a dialogue between it mother and her children. The selection from the annals of Gi.ecce is well made, and the matter enlivened by dramatic briskness and colloquial discur.. siveness. MAMA HACK, however, has followed the party prejudiCCS of sluT- Fl) ii narrative somewhat too implicitly, and perhaps spoken with. too much certainty of the fabulous and heroic ages of Greece.] The Protestant Exiles of Zillerthal ; their Persecutions and Expatriation from tlie Tyrol, on separating from the Romish Church and embracing the Refiwined Faith. Translated from the Gcrocin of Dr. MILLS- WALD of Berlin, by JOHN B. SA uNDERS. L A narrative of the circilmstances it the secession or some LillerdalerS of the Tyrol from the Church of Rome, the petty perseem ions la Whidl they were exposed in eunsemieliCe, and their subsequent emigration to Silesia, whea banished from their native valley hy the despotism of :1 nAria. and the intole- rant spirit of " creed."]

of the late THOMAS PRINGLE'S account of his residence in Smith Africa ; the

[Thus is a very judicious and deserving speculation. The objert is to present it condensed account of the Geographies of MALTS nil EN and HALM, with such " a variety and extent of original matter " as to give it the character of an original work. Besides geography strictly speaking—that is, mathematical and physical flicts as regards places—the work will cootain deseriidive, topo- graphical, and statistical accounts of the most important countries, together

with a sketch of their history, finances, productions, Z1:c It will I■0 completed in four or five parts, and will form a single volume ; but :to arrangement which

should allow of an optional division into two volutnes would lie advautage,, The First Part, now hethre us, contains a very rapid mid readable sketch. of the progress or geographical science from the time of AlosEs, the earliest au- thor ; the principles of mathematical geography ; examination of physical geography in relation to organic matter, to organized beings, and to human society, or hi other worth:, the probable intim:Inas of soil, ciimate, as. upon man. These general views are followed by a descriptiou of Europe ; nuLl the part ends with an elaborate account of England and Wales.] The Tower of leandon ; an 11 istorical Romance. By W. I IAn nrs0:11 AINSWORTH. Illustrated by Gr:onoE CUUlliSilANE. Part 1.

[A capital subject for a popular work ; and as both ix.riter and artist are expe- rienced caterers for the public amusement, we may presume the mintetive points will be brought out to advantage. The plan of the work appears to be that of developing the characteristics of the tilt pile, and its as.mciatio:N, by a story connected with the fate of the hapless JANE Gii Er ; and the "romance" opens with the procession in which she is bronght to the Tower by her ambi- tious father-in-law NORTI1EmBERLAND, to he proclaiined Queen and receive homage : the scene of her " first Council" being in striking contrast to that of Queen VICTORIA. The pageant and other ceremonial incidents have an air of animation and verisimilitude ; and the germ of the romance already unfolds itself with promise of stirring interest. GEORGE CRIDESIIANICS illustrations consist of sketches on wood of differ- ent parts of the Tower, and three effective designs, etched by himself on a Eroundof aquatint. In the scene of " Queen Jane's Entrance into the Tower," twilKsiimio's " point " seems hovering on the verge of the quizzical, as if his newly otssutned " historical " dignity sat like an air of gravity on an hive-

terate wag: UI where the giant Beereaters are making the " Stone Kitchen,"

sport with a dwarf, he is quite at home.] Repton's Landscape Gardening and landscape Architecture. A new edition. By J C. LOUDON, F.L.S., ■ST, N. VII. to XII. [This is the completion of a reprint of the entity works of j Ev•ros, originally published in one folio and three quarto %domes, and now comprised in one octavo: the last two pacts contain a Portrait and 3Iemoir of H cram N, and Dlr.

The theological part ()I the work is indifferent : if the author is not detieient in the mastery of ii subject, he appears being wordy, and not very intelligible to young children, we suspect. The natural history is uot striking., bob ig dashed by the same faults. But all that concerns mathematics, twactical kttowledge, not It:aural philosophy, is exceedingly good—brier, clear, and lull.
