PROGRESS OF PUBLICATION.
A STIR is apparent in the publishing world ; but whether it be a transient Hush, or a permanent stream, we know not. Its imme- diate produce, however, is a variety of books on a variety of subjects,—Theology, Fiction, Military Adventure, and Philoso- phical Criticism. The titles, all we can notice at present, are Nature Considered as a Revelation. By the Reverend ROBERT BAY. LEY, of Sheffield, F. S. A.
The Merchants Daughter. By the Author of " The Heiress," &c. The Adventures of Captain John Patterson, with Notices of the Officers, 4-c. of the Fifteenth or Queen's Own Regiment.
A Translation of DE QUINCY'S Essay on the Nature, the End, and the Means of Imitation of the Fine Arts ; this term being extended to music and dancing, as well as to all those intellectual productions which have a prototype in nature.
To the preceding works we shall return; but before passing to minor matters, we may notice the appearance of a FOURTH edition of GEORGE COMAE'S System of Phrenology, in two large volumes ; a circumstance which precludes all comment upon the merit of the work, however men may differ upon its subject.
