THE REVIEWER'S TABLE.

THE Encyclopwdia Britannica, Vol. I. Part II. This part contains 70 pages of Professor STEwanT's Preliminary Dissertation, and brings down the alphabetical arrangement to Professor Put–on's life of Dr. Allots his predecessor in Edinburgh High School. The plates of this part, as well as of the last, are very beautifully executed.

Since our last notice of Dr. LARDNER'S Cabinet Cycloptedia, two fresh volumes have appeared,—one, an excellent treatise on Mechanics, from the pen of the learned editor himself, and Captain KATER ; the other, Bio- graphy of Eminent British Lawyers, commencing with COKE and ending with Rosin.LY, compiled by ME. HENRY ROSCOE. Of the first of these works, we have for some weeks intended to give a separate notice ; and it contains an immense number of curious facts, very well fitted for extract, if we had room.

In the 53d and 54th Volumes of Constable's Miscellany, we have a Life of WALLACE, the hero of Scotland. One of its curiosities is an original letter from WALLACE and ANDREW DE MORAY to the Mayors and com- munity of Hamburg and Lubeck, now for the first time published. It was discovered in the repositories of Hamburg by Dr. LAPPENBERG of that city.

The 5th Number of the Family Classical Library contains the first two books of HERODOTUS, from the translation of BELOE.

Dr. Doddridge's Correspondence and Diary, Vol. III. This volume brings down the correspondence of the excellent DODDRIDGE to the year 1741. The letters to Mrs. DODDRIDGE are exquisite specimens of tender- ness,—pious, pure, and at the same time playful.

The translation of De BOURRIENNE'S Private Memfirs of Napoleon Bonaparte, of which the concluding volumes are now published, we must confess that we have not perused to any great extent. The passages that we read appeared to be creditably "done into English ;" and our readers may remember that we have expressed a very favourable opinion of the original.

Pert in Warbeck. One of the civil little paragraphs from the great ma- nufactory in New Burlington Street, lets us into the secret that there are two Warbecks. Mrs. Sttem.ty's, which this announcement is intended to favour by insinuation, we have not seen. But we have read a part—only a part—.of Mr. NEWMAN'S publication, which rejoices in the authorship of Mr. ALEXANDER CAMPBELL; and truly we have met with worse imita- tions of the Great Romancer, on this side Temple Bar. The main differ- ence is, that in the emporium of Leadenhall Street, a novel costs Hs.; in the West the price is usually It. us. fid.

The English Army in France; 2 vols. Anecdotes of Waterloo and of the Army of Occupation are rather late in the year 1830; but the author remarks that Waterloo will be a long day. • We have reason to believe that the book is, barring the framework, an authentic narrative of the personal experience of a medical officer.

The Three Histories. Under this title, Miss JEwsuunv, a well-known writer in the Annuals, has given us three tales, intended to exemplify the characters of an Enthusiast, a Nonchalant, and a Realist, not theological, but moral.

The Fortunes of Francesco Novello da Carrara ; translated by D. SY ME, Esq. This is an elegant translation, illustrated by copious uotes, of a very curious and interesting Italian story.

There is a very small volume of Sonnets and Fugitive Pieces, by CHARLES TENNYSON, of Trinity College, Cambridge. The 11th, 25th, 34th, and 42d Sonnets would not disgrace the most practised in that pleasing but diffi- cult form of poetical composition. Of the Miscellaneous Pieces, the lines beginning" Ye mighty forests, deep and old," appear to us extremely good.

The Traveller's Lay, by Mr. Turmas -Matrne, is a pleasing little poem, with amusing notes.

Mr. READ'S Rouge at Noir, a poetical history of the game, to its issue, the guillotine, appears now in a third edition.

The Doom of Devorgoil, and Auchindrane, or the Ayrshire Tragedy, by Sir WALTER SCOTT. We shall of course recur to this volume. The preface informs us that the Doom of Devorgoil was originally written for poor Trautsr, to whose talents the great novelist pays the highest compli- ment, in saying that he had for him a particular regard. Devorgoil is a melodrama—" I have called it a melodrama," says Sir Wavren, in his quiet way, "for want of a better name ; but, as I learn from the unques- tionable authority of Mr. Cot MAN'S Random Records, that one species of the drama is termed an Extravaganza, I am sorry I was not sooner aware of a more appropriate name than that which I had selected for Devorgoil." GEORGE has his uses after all. The Ayrshire Tragedy is a dark story of murder arising out of the heathenish practice of the deadly feud.

Weimar, a tragedy, is not an acting play, nor was it intended to be so; but we dare say there have been many worse plays acted and applauded too.

Hannibal's Passage of the Alps. Of LIVY'S description of this famous passage, it has been said that it has caused as much trouble to the critics as the Alps themselves did to HANNIBAL. It is reprinted in the Appendix to this unambitious little essay on a much-disputed question, together with the text of POLYB I us, from which LI v v's facts were derived.

Bos, Ellipses, is a work well known to scholars as the best extant on the subject. The present abridgment, translation, and notes, bear the passport of Mr. SEAGER'S name.

Dr. MuEs has favoured the mathematical student with Problems in Phi- losophy; being a collection of problems adapted to the course of reading pur. sued at Cambridge, classed under the heads of Trigonometrical, Hydrosta- tical, Optical, Problems on the Principle, and on Astronomy.

Why and Because; altered from the French, by W. S. KENNY. A useful little book for young people, on subjects relating to the three elements.

Elements of Arithmetic, by Professor De Monzaw. A very good little class-book. The introduction of the new measures, new that the Regulation Act has been so fully gone into, is extremely proper.

Leigh's New Picture of London. Mr. LEIGH says, in the nature of things a picture of London can never be perfect ; but we shall say, what his modesty may not permit him to do, that his is as perfect a picture of the metropolis as the nature of things permits. The plan of seeing- London in . eight days is a most alluring one at the present moment, when so many are every day coming up to see it.

The Picture of India is a well got up book ; and gives in a small compass a comprehensive view of the most interesting portion of our colonial empire, written in a plain and popular style. It is embellished with a small map, and with several engravings.

British Spirits and Rum. Mr. A. newt:los:24EL L, whose writings on Colo- nial questions we have formerly praised, has published " A Statement of the Arguments for and against an Equalization of the Duties on British Spirits and West India Rum." Mr. MACDONNELL has treated the subject with extreme fairness and with consummate ability. We recommend it to the notice of all who take an interest in a question which may in one senA be termed a national one.
