Ths Castle of Otranto; a Gothic Story. By HORACE WALPOLE, Earl of Orford. With a Memoir of the Author.

[A handsome edition of this once popular romance, which owes its celebrity more to the name of the author, and to primogeniture in its kind, than to in- trinsic merits. The "gothic " of the story is akin to the pasteboard battle- ments of Strawberry I1i11. The frature of this edition consists in the fanciful and picturesque wood-cuts that embellish its pages: they are of high promise as the first productions of a young artist, Mr. STANDFAST; who, however, should guard against the mannerism shown in the spectral air and attenuated form of his figures—the knights armed cap-a-pie look like some strange flies

without wings.] •

The Last Days of Pompeii. (Works of Sir E. L. Bel-AVER.) [A notice prefixed to this reprint states that the three volumes containing Felhanr, The Disowned, and Devereux, to complete this revised edition of the author's prose works, will be published, with his " last corrections," by Mr. COLUERN: the History of Athens, which is not yet completed, and the tale of the Conquest of Grem«1«, will be included in two supplementary volumes of Poems and Ditunas.] • A Journey Round my Room. Translated from the French of M. le Comte XAVIER DE MAISTRE.

[The conception of this brochure is better than the execution ; and the title— to which, probably, its seccess was owing—excites expectations that are not realized. It is a sentimental effusion of egotism, with no ideas beyond the author's personal existence : a 11v on the wall might have made as profitable a journey, though phi occupied the author during a confinement of forty-two days.] The Rem at ion, 1841 ; a Gift-book fur Young Readers : embracing such subjects as are particularly fitted to interest and improve the youthful mind.

By GEORGE COLLISoN, [This is a compilation opal the subject of grave-gromais, by the Secretary to one of the new cemetery companies; whose object, he ilfirly :avows, is to bring into public notice the new burial-place formed on the Abney Park estate, near Stamtbrd 11111. The book contains a sort of encycloptedic account of inter- ments amongst varicns oatious, extracts from different publications touching the evils which arise from borials its crowded churchyards in towns, and a description of the different new cemeteries abroad and at home, especially that of Abney Park, with %%Licit the author is connected. This new last resting-place is situated about two mile.: from Shorediteh Church, and is described in such terms as to excite a wish to vi-it it, trot to use it. It certainly pos- sesses two advantages—old trees of a rare and peculiar kind were ready to the planter's hand, and the place has historical associations. It formerly be- longed to the Parliamentarian General FLELTwooD; and Dr. WATTS resided there for many years, in the titmily of Sir THOMAS ARNEV.] Christian Liter,ture : Evi‘h sees.

That after Newtroa: is one of thepainter's happiest efforts; the story is Si) well toll. It represents the scene where BaSS:11110 learns the ti dings of Antonio's tlar;rer. Bass:olio's troubled countenance expre:ses grief and vexation ; his action is that of' one recoiling at sonic sudden and unexpected ill news; and the imo:oato.:n. standing by shows the letter has just come to hand: Portia has apprnwhed him, and gently placed one hand on his arm and the other on his shoulder.

The ethos ness, blended with delicate fondness, in l'ortitt's expression and action, is quite Shaksperian ; Bassailio's sorrow is lowering and ill-tempered, but it shows the charmitsg clearness of Poilia's loving look more beautiful by contrast. Nerissa and Gratiano in the background supply the comment to the incident. 'there arc some defects of drawing in the trodden limbs and bodiless biros of Bassanio, the bad figure of the messenger, and the want of shape beneath the garments of Portia: but these blemishes scarcely interfere with the Inality of a pi tore so admirable in point of expression and character. The elltranIllg i.e ;el excellent translation of the ortist's manner of painting, and the !di:tot-lel ere st of the original; but the draperies are heavy and bard, resendding c•al: mere than silk and satin; and the cross-hatching in the ihrtre of the messenger is rigid and metallic. The faces are most beautiful for fleshiness, fuel living aspect; and their meaning could not be rendered more vivid!y. As a whole, the print i- highly wrought and brilliant, hits:resting fir its subject, rued worthy of admiration as a work of art. 31inna 'Troll is it portrait or a not very attractive it n:e, of ample propora tions; and is chiefly admirable for the breadth of hold, aril the exquisite imi- tatital of the flesh awl white .trapery, in the engraving : the cheek and bust are round, soft, and elastic, tied glowing with a delicate trait oittesoit answerino to the carnatiott•tint,. of the setintiug ; and the white sills dress is pure and lustrous, exemplifying in It beitittifuI mattner the value of lights pro• doted by leaving the paper blank. The tar wants softness, !tad the hair is tiny; both are defective in massing and substance: for the bad drawing of the aria and hand, the painter is responsible.] Engravings after the lk•st Pictor,s of the Great .1.rosh tv.
