But though a Labourer during, the heat of the day,, our Reformer was, not rewarded at the eleventh hour; and he has now publLshed his reminiscences, apparently to counterbahnee bad trade, and worse nines than those from 1817 to t821:, over which his. more active politiret career extended.

[Lady Cecilia Farrencourt is a middle-aged maiden lady, very attentive both tie body and soul ; so that she is continuehy victimized by doctors and Methodist preachers. Mr. Simon Cummins Allnutt is a retired fruit-merchant, who, having made a fortune by a lucky speculation in nutmegs, wishes to connect himself with a titled family and add ALP. to his name. In confederation with lady's maid, coachman, and apothecary, S. G. A. gets. acquainted with Lady Cecilia, wins her, and elopes with her; but the terrors of her nephew Lord Farrencourea threats so frighten him,. that he falls ill on the road, and in turn elopes' from hi in- tended. There are various subordinate persons and incidents of an equalle broad cast, and another love-story, of a more tender character. The whole -bears about, as much resemblance to life as the breaded farce; but when the improbability is. got over, the farce is ludicrous enough. The writing is vigorous and straig*..- forward.]

May Morn, and other Poems. By Swyden Jervis.

[A collection of the leisure effusions of a gentleman's muse; sportive, grace and often lyrical, or what used to be called- Pindaric, but founded upon a good school, which controls the, thoughts instead of letting there run away. AS the whole collection is limited to a dozen poems, of which about a third appeared. originally in the columns of the Spectator, it may suffice to say that they are, worthily eased in a graceful garb, and will form an ornament to any boudoir- Or drawingroom-table.

Modern Coebery, in all its branches; reduced to a system of easy pmetice, for the use of Private Families. Ins, series of Practical Receipts, which- have been strictly tested, and are given with the most minute exaetneaS. By Eliza Acton. Illustrated with numerous wood-cuts, [It is a general complaint of books, especially of treatises on science, that they are made from other books, instead of the facts being derived from observation or ex- periment. From this defect Eliza Acton's Modern Cookery in all its Branches is free. Every recipecontained in its six hundred and odd pages has been tested by the only but pleasant method of trial—ta,sting, and 'renounced good. With- out the same experiment, it is impossible for a critic to form a satisfactory judg- ment upon a cookery-book; and as there seems at least a thousand. recipes hr the volume, such a mode of deciding would take a long time. So far as we PAR speak theoretically, the bookies good book The arrangement isnatural, (in the order of English eatinge)beginningwith soups nod fish, and. then proceedbc to the gar-. nish of gravies, sauces, and force-meats. Roast and boiled, made dishes, potted. meats, and vegetables follow; a long list of pies, puddings, confectionery, and what not, bringing up the rear. British is the system upon which the whole is based-: the methods are clearly described, and seem founded on chemical prin- ciples] The Over-land Guide-book; a. Complete Vade-Mecum for the Over-landlIss- vellex. By Captain James Barber, [This publication has been prompted by. convenience. Captain Barber„ in Itia capacity of East India agent, has received se many applications for advice. touching the voyage, that it seemed less troublesome-to write a book at once, am- taining full information, than letters ad infinitum, with partial particulars. As the subjectof the voyage to India vie the ml Sea has often been dwelt upon in Indian Guide-books, (of which there are several,) there is, not much novelty in the information. The features of the book are its unity—the maps. of countries, and the plans of steam-vessels with which it is illustrated—and the business-like cha- racter of its guide-information, which is limited to the places where the steamer teaches, except in Egypt, where we have a perfect and useful itinerary of the valley ofthe-Nile.]

The Mother's First Book; containing Reading made Easy; and the Spelling -

book, in two. parts. Mrs. Merest,Au or of " Mary's.Graminer, See. The second. part of this little book differs, from other publications, where apel- hag andreading-lessons are mixed together, chiefly by a more orderly and pro- gressive arrangement of the spelling-exercises: The first part is intended teach reading without troubling the pupil to learn the alphabet, by the reitera- tion of certain familiar words. That this mode. is practicable with a. patuMt teacher and. a, doeile pupil, is very likely ; but we believe the alphabet might bp taught with the same- advantages in lees time,. and with leas trouble. But tha elements of nothing can be learned without some trouble.] . - - SERIALS.

Cabinet Pictures of English Life Chaucer. By John Saunders. (Knight's Weekly Volume.)

[This number of "Knight's Weekly Volume" commences a new undertaking ; Mr. Knight proposing to illustrate the.national manners by quotations from. our classical authors, accompanied by descriptive and expositional commentaries. The. specimen before us commences with The Canterbury Talcs. The maim is first carried inter Southwark to the Tabard Inn ; whose history and pearance are described ; after which, Chaucer's persons are, presented to us in awl: text, accompanied by very elaborateprose commentaries by Mr. Saunders, not greatly differing, from, the cast of ldriflianz Shakspere, a Biography. It is. pleasing, and useful undertaking, and wondrous cheap, looking at the.cuts and the original matter.].

NOTE.

Tvect pamphlets are before us, which, as they refer ta subjects that have been handled by the Spectator, require. a line, or two to notify their appear- ance, though, as they involve matters of personal recrinsiaatiom wee canned enter. into their discussion.

It is. printed, for prawn), circulation, under the auspices of Mr. -Key; who has added & letter from Mr. Long, in which that Professor severely censures Mr. Donaldson for parts of his last pamphletintroducing Mr. Long.'s name into the controversy and imputing motivee. te him.

Beke was encouraged by some, membem of two scientific- societies, Sr I:reset-into A/rissinia.; where. he was found. by Major Harris on the arrival of the- mission of which the Major was the head. It was proposed by Major Barrio that Dz. Bake should be attached to the embassy: but, as this would. have fettered Dr. Bakers movements, and deprived. him of the right to use his discoveries, he de- clined the -proposal. Ha undertook, Irwsever, to, "funnel' Government with in- formation, and ta render Major Harris and the mission every assistance in his power." 111-sill and mieunderstanding soon arose.: Dr. Belie asserts. tlutt Meier Harrishas copied information without acknowledgment—that he threw obstacles in his way, and fluidly forced him to return to England when in the fall career of discovery. In cases of this kind- it is diffieult if not impossible for strangers to learn. "altedights- of the:story?' Oa one point„ however, Dr. Bake seems to have had justiceon his skim. for the East India. Cempany, with the concurrence of the Board of Control, have awarded him 1001. for services rendered,. though Major Harris, declared that he: had been more than- repaid for anything he had ever done.
