The Bhagavad-Gitd ; or a Discourse between Krishna and Arjuna on Divine Matters : a Sanskrit Philosophical Poem. Translated, with copious Notes, an Introduction on Sanskrit Philosophy, and other matter, by J. Cockburn Thomson, Member of the Asiatic Society of France, 8m. [These publications appear to form part of a meritorious attempt Ity Mr. Cockburn Thomson M extend the study of Sanskrit in this country. The first volume contains the original text of a book or episode from the. Ma- habharata, in which the Krishna and the hero Arjuna discuss philosophy, including the right of resistance, or perhaps active war, between two armies drawn up in order of battle. The second volume is a translation of the text of the Bhaeavad-Gftfi, prefaced by an introduction, in which an ingenious survey is taken of the origin of Hindu philosophy, followed by a briefer sketch of its particular systems. The English version is accompanied by elaborate notes. The two books must form a valuable manual to those whose career renders a knowledge of Oriental literature advantageous, or perhaps necessary to success. The fundamental differences in the Eastern and Western character, the consequently different opinions they form of the life and nature around them, and the different modes in which they send forth those opinions, will, we suspect, militate against the extension of Sanskrit studies, except upon compulsion.] History of the Suppression of Infanticide in Western India under the Government of Bombay; including Notices of the Provinces and Tribes in which the practice has prevailed. By John Wilson, D.D., F.R.S., Honorary President of the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asi- atic Society, and Missionary of the Free Church of Scotland, &e. [A full and particular account of the discovery of the practice of infanticide in India, and of the efforts made for its suppression in the Presidency of Bombay, compiled from official documents both printed and manuscript. The limited extent of the subject, for only one out of the four Indian Go- vernments is treated of—the remote sphere of its action—and, trifling as it may seem, the spelling adopted by Dr. Wilson, as "Kachh" for "Kutch "- are scarcely of a kind to support the interest of a volume. The author has further overlaid his subject by too many collaterals; touching upon the origin of murder at the Fall, and tracing the history of this particular form of murder—infanticide—through various nations. He also clogs his narrative by a sermonizing style, and by too free a quotation from official documents, when their spirit and result would suffice. The volume is as much a digest of materials as a history.) The History of the Decline and Fall of the Boman Empire. By Ed- ward Gibbon, Esq. With Notes by Dean Milman and M. Guizot. Edited, with additional Notes, by William Smith, LL.D. In eight volumes. Volume VIII. With Portrait and Maps.

[The last volume of Gibbon concludes the moat valuable of Mr. Murray's British Classics yet published, whether we look to the importance of the Decline and Palma itself, its indispensable presence in the library, or the complete and scholarly manner in which it-is edited. The volume before us will to manTbe the mostinteresting of the whole ; for it introduces the reader to the beginning of that modern system of society of which he himself forms an imperceptible unit. The Esidern portion of the history opens with the conquests of Zengis Khan and Tamerlane, and closes with the death of Mahomet the Second, the conqueror of Constantinople and founder of what is or was the Turkish-em- pire. Arnold of Brescia, Rienzi, Tetrarch, and the mischief that Avignon and the Papal schism inflicted on the character and power of the Church, are the leading subjects of the Western story ; till Poggius, towards the middle of the fifteenth century, ascended the Capitoline hill, and made the ruins of Rome, as they then met his sorrowing eye, the text for a discourse De Varietal. liortunre ; as his description of what he then saw furnished Gibbon with the basis for the final chapter of the Decline and Fall.)

A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland. By Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster King of Arms, Author of "The Peerage and Baronetage," &a.

It is a wonderful collection of particular facts, and gets down as far as D.] Museum of Economic Botany ; or a Popular Guide to the Useful and Remarkable Vegetable Products-of the Museum of the Royal Gardens of Kew. By Sir W. J. Hooker, K.H., D.C.L., Oxon., F.R.A. and LS., &c., Director. [The Museum of Economic Botany is a branch of the Botanical Gardens at Kew, wherein the extent, utility, and importance of botany, are impressed upon the mind through the eye. Food, physic, clothing, light, means of cleanliness by soap and brooms, of learning by paper, and of trade by nu- merous manufactures all originating in vegetables, are exhibited in cases in the Museum ; to which this shilling's-worth of Sir John Hooker will be found a useful and instructive guide.)
