Table Traits, with Something on them. By Dr. Doran. [A very pleasant. volume of anecdote, gossip, shrewd remarks, and what would be pointed causticity if the sharpness were not tempered by good- nature. Anything or everything relating to the table, or to eating and drinking, furnishes themes for Dr. Doran; some obvious enough—as water, wine, tea, coffee, materials for dining ; others requiring recondite reading to supply as well as to fill up—for example, the "diet of saints of old," the " support of saints of later days." Table Traits, however, does not always consist of anecdote or comment ; sometimes there is action or story involved —as a "light dinner for two." Altogether, Dr. Doran's is a capital book in its matter, in its manner, and not least in its arrangement. The ohapters are so brief that the reader may master a topic in a very little time ; which renders it as fit a book for the railway or the garden-chair as for the table.] Correggio ; a Tragedy. By Adam Oehlensehlager. Translated, with Notes, by Theodore Martin.

[This art drama has been before the world many years in the original, and possibly may have been the type of the. numerous art fictions that have succeeded it. In 1820 some specimens of the work were published in Black- wood ; and the Howitts alluded to the tragedy in the "literature of North- ern Europe." For the reading public these speoimens were probably suffi- cient. There is some nice criticism in the drama both on painting and sculpture ; the characters of Julio Romano and Michael Angelo are distinctly though too hardly and ostentatiously presented ; there is no action in the piece; the elements are not wrought out to the extent of which they are capable ; and the domestic scenes have sometimes a touch of mawkishness. To those who can relish a series of clever situations contrived to exhibit by dialogue a writer's conception rather than the actualities of life, Cerreggto will be pleasant reading. The translation is good English.]

Rambles and Recollections of a .Ply-Fisher Illustrated. With an Ap- pendix containing ample Instructions to the Novice, inclusive of Fly- reeking and a list of really useful Flies. By Clericus.

[Descriptions of landscape, defensive panegyrics on the gentle craft, dia- logues in relation to angling- adventures and art, with accounts of escapes and captures, form the matter of this pleasing volume. There are also some practical hints on fly-fishing, as well as some directions for making and choosing flies, which will render it useful to the angler. In a literary sense, the book wants distinctive novelty. The descriptive sketches are pleasing ; the views in the argumentative parts sensible, though with an amusing lean- ing to the non-suffering of fishes if caught by the fly ; and the composition easy and lively. The book on the whole resembles what we have met with before on the same theme, and is probably such as any given number of anglers, if trained to composition, would produce if they set about it.] The Three Treacherous Dealers. An Illustration of the Church Cate- chism, addressed to Young Candidates for Confirmation. By John Wil- liam Donaldson, D.D., Head Master of Bury School. [An exposition of the Church-of•England Catechism, introduced by an ex- hortation to candidates for confirmation, on its necessity to persons in their position—that is, about to enter the world. This exhortation 6r homily is allegorical, and takes the Crystal Palace for the type of this world, and a visitor to that building as the individual Christian. The allegory does not strictly run on all fours, for nothing was bought or sold iu the world', bazaar ; so the "three treacherous dealers," "the world, the flesh, and the Devil," could not drive their bargains with the visitors. The lesson, how- ever, which Dr. Donaldson would impress by his allegory, is clear and con- vincing.] Historical Survey of Speculative Philosophy from Kant to liege I; de- signed as an Introduction to the opinions of the recent schools. By Heinrich Moritz Chalybiius, Professor of Philosophy in the University of Kiel. Translated from the fourth edition of the German by Alfred Tu 1 k.

[This volume may be recommended to those who wish to possess a succinct summary of German philosophy from Kant to the present day, with 4 pre- liminary view of Locke and Hume. The narrative or synopsis is followed by a sort of criticism, in order, as the author justly observes, that "my own impartiality might not appear to be an ambiguous virtue, which had brought the reader into a state of sceptical indecision, only to leave him to himself without counsel of any kind."] Turkish Vocabulary; in which the words are spelt so as to make the pronunciation as easy as possible. [The reprint of a privately printed vocabulary of the most common and use- ful Turkish words, drawn up by an officer of the Grenadier Guards for the use of the corps. It is creditable alike to the acquirements of the author and the judgment displayed in the selection of the words and phrases. The utility of the tiny book would have been increased by a key to the vowel sounds, and to some of the harsh-looking combination of consonants : Turkish is said to be a soft-sounding language, but it does not look so.] An Inquiry into the Pathological Importance of Ulceration of rho 98 Uteri. Being the Croonian Lectures for the Year 1854. By Charles West, M.D., Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Physician- Accoucheur to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, &c. [These lectures are by no means technical in their character : on the con- trary, they are distinguished by great plainness and popularity. in their mode of treatment. The subject, however, is one whose exposition ishatted to a medical journal.]

The Prince and the People ; a Poem, in two cantos. By Mrs. Yodels Smythies, Author of "Cousin Geoffrey," &c.

[A panegyric on Prince Albert, inspired by the late attacks upon beta; fol- lowed by a series of short poems, having for their subject some of the lead- ing incidents in the Queen's life.) The Modern Housewife's Receipt-Book : a Guide to all matters eon'. nected with Household Economy. By Mrs. Pullen, Authorees of "The Lady's Library," &c. With Receipts tested by John Sayer, Esq., Professed Cook, of Manchester. The Medical portions of the work revised by J. Baxter Langley, Req., Surgeon, &c., lately Medi- cal Referee to the "Family Friend." (Domestic Library.)

[A cheap cookery book, containing a great number of clear and brief receipts.]

The most important reprint of the week is a new edition of Hume, Snot- let, and Hughes, from Mr. Bell. The continuation will come down to the accession of Victoria, and be printed from the third octavo edition of Hughes, which was almost entirely rewritten. The volumes will be illustrated by plates from Bowyer and paintings by eminent artists, as well as by of the Sovereigns, and their autographs, beginning with the mark of artr-elett‘ei queror, printed for the first time. Mr. Bentley has sent forth a new-and neat edition of the " Material Pictures -of the MiddleAgea," with some additional matter in the form of notes. He has also added "Rosalind and Felicia" to his Standard Novels. In the same class rof belles lettres, but of higher mark, stands "Count Robert of Paris," forming the twenty-fourth volume of the Library Edition of the Waverley Novels. The week has produced two new editions of Cowper. One forms part of the series of Mr. Nichol's Poets, published by annual sub- scription, to be embraced in two volumes, instead of three as originally an- flounced ; so much clear gain to the subscriber. The other is contained in Messrs. Parker and Son's Annotated Edition of the English Poets, edited by Mr. Bell. The life prefixed to this edition is brief, and confined to facts ; the style terse, and the comment manly in tone. Two unpublished letters of the poet are included.
