The Culture of the Grape Vine, and the Orange, in Australia and New

Zealand: comprising historical notices; instructions for planting and

cultivation ; accounts, from personal observation, of the vineyards of France and the Rhine; and extracts concerning all the most celebrated

Wines, from the work of M. Jullien. By GEORGE SUTTOR, F.L.S. [Mr. BOTTOM is an Australian settler, whose attention was directed to the practicability of profitably cultivating the vine in New South Wales so early as 1801. But the struggles of a colonist, and above all the scarcity of labour, prevented his attempting the culture systematically till 1835, when his efforts were crowned with success, so far as the extent of tha experiment and the short space of time enables a judgment to be formed. With a view of in- creasing his knowledge, he has travelled through some of the wine-countries of the Continent, and consulted several foreign writers on the subject of the wine-trade ; publishing the results of his researches in the volume before us. The Culture of the Grape Vine consists of several sections. The first con- tains a brief compilation of the history of wine ; the next is a sort of argumen- tative hortation to the colonists ; the third consists of short notes respecting his own tour in France and Germany ; the fourth is for the moat part an abridgment of JOLLIES'S work Topographie de Tows Vignobles connus.] The lniluence of Respect for Outward Things. In two Dialogues. [The meaning of this titlepage is, that the English, in the author's opinion, pay a great deal more respect to wealth than they ought to do, and pay it for the most part in a servile manner ; whilst a poor man, however able or honest, is disregarded, oppressed, or insulted. And these evils he attributes to the com- mercial system. Stated simply, there is not much novelty in such opinions; nor. do these often-repeated charges derive much freshness from the manner in which they are here set forth. The book is a mere expansion of general views like the above; and though the style in which they are expressed is not particularly strained or turgid, the opinions are often exaggerated from their onesidedness. The hest passages relate to the contrast of the profession and practice of the Dissenters, in the second dialogue. Here the author seems to write from per- Banal experience.] Felix Sumnaerly's Handbook for the City of Canterbury, its historical associations and works of art. With numerous illustrations, and a map of the city. [ Steam and the railway have brought Canterbury so near to London that the Londoner may make a pilgrimage to the ancient city and back in a day ; and Bee the Cathedral, if nothing more. A better cicerone than FELIX SUMMERLY, the visiter, whether for a day or a week, need not desire : he points out beauties both of nature and art with discriminating intelligence; touches upon points of antiquarian lore and picturesque effect, in a lively and agreeable manner; and not only tells you what there is to be seen, but how to see it. He has none of the dull, formal pomposity of the old guide-books, whose purpose seems to be to make much out of nothing; but he indicates the characteristic features of the place and its history, WI an intelligent companion would do Chatting with you. The illustrations, five-and-thirty in number, are sketched with the pen in a free and effective style, chiefly by Mr. Davin Cox junior; and appear to be rendered by the new art of glyphography, or etching in relief: they have not the sharpness and neatness of etchings, but have more artistic feeling than ordinary wood-cuts; and, like them, are printed with type. The cover, emblazoned with the great seals of the Cathedral and Monastery, is very handsome.] .Chronicks of Saint Mungo ; or Antiquities and Traditions of Glasgow. [Tins volume is a miscellany of information connected with Glasgow ; chiefly antiquarian, though modern subjects are incidentally introduced. The matter is classified, and presented in different chapters,—the Leprosy and Plague in Glasgow, of course in the olden times; the Pretender in Glasgow Memorable Fires and Floods; Riots in Glasgow. The inherent interest the subject gives attraction to much of the matter ; but the original part of the compilation is rather so-so.] The Works of Beaumont and Fletcher. The text formed from a new collation of the early editions. With Notes, and a Biographical Me- moir, by the Reverend ALEXANDER DYCE. In eleven volumes. Vo- lume I.

[This new speculation of Mr. MOXON displays the text of BEAUMONT and FLETCHER Jo. a handsome type and an elegantly got-up volume. The notes, by the well-known Mr. DYCE, are illustrative as well as critical, and appear sufficient without overloading the reader. The introductions prefixed to each drama are chiefly of a bibliographical kind; endeavouring to fix the date of its composition, pointing out the probable source of plot or incident, noting its re- putation with the public at different periods, and any changes that may have been made in the play—as WALLER'S new fifth act to The Maid's Tragedy. The most novel feature of the edition—the Memoir--is reserved, or not ready, and will appear with the last volume. This arrangement, it strikes us, will involve the practical inconvenience of rebinding one or more volumes; a thing that, in the country or the Colonies, will be attended with much inconvenience, as the style cannot there be matched.] The Works of William Jay, collected and revised by Himself. Volume VII. Containing Sermons preached on various and particular occasions. [A good collection of sermons, preached on various occasions, on various sub- , yects; some applying to the practical duties of life, and others of a higher religious kind, though these too have something practical in the handling. It is the most generally interesting volume, we think, that has appeared in the series.]

Le Journal Seolastique; a French Self-interpreting Journal of Litera- ture, Amusement, and Instruction. By F. H. GASSION, M.A., one of the French Masters, King's College, Loudon. Part I. [The design of this little periodical seems to be to furnish the student of French with a weekly paper that shall instruct him in the social characteristics of the language, whilst it stimulates his attention by more of a living interest than is always felt towards books. The numbers before us possess variety— containing anecdotes, short notices in biography, &c., with little poems ; ex- planatory foot-notes are added upon difficult words—and sometimes, perhaps, upon words that are not difficult, though this is a fault on the right The plan is good ; but the execution admits of improvement by a better choke of subjects. The contents have too much the character of a scholastic" reader."] Journal of Agriculture, No. I. (New series.)
