Poems. By George Meredith.

Abd-el-Kader ; a Poem, in six cantos. By Viscount Maidstone.

Historied Etways. By John Coleman.

[This volume contains four historical essay's, and three biographies. The essays are on French Socialism, the English Revointion of 1640, the French Revolution of 1789, and the Merovingian Kings of France. The lives are Benham's, Waller, and Collinser. There is nothing new in the facts Mr. Coleman brings forward; nor indeed does the author lay claim to novelty. Neither is there much• newness of treatinent. His essays exhibit ability, but rather the ability of an amateur advancing his own individmil views than of a writer promulgating general truths : their standard of merit is about that of an article in a magazine ; indeed, they would seem to have been written for a periodical, but for the length of most of them. It is difficult to see why the lives should have been published at all : the :general interest in the men has faded, and Mr. Coleman has not power to revive it] Indian Missions in Guiana. By the Reverend W. H. Brettehlissicmary in connexion with the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. [The Reverend W. H. Brett, the anther or this volume, Was a missionary of the Church of England to the Indian aborigines of Guiana; who' after resid- ing some time at George Town, was occupied in his vocation in the interior of the colony. The volume he has published' contains an agreeable mixture of compiled. ukfbrmation and original experience; with a narrative ofles per- sonal adventures among the Indians and his good and ill success in making converts. The style is simple, but clear and agreeable-: the reader will find in Indian Missions a good deal of information relating tic the natural fea- tures and productions of Guiana as well as to the manners and customs of the Indians and the Negro and Cooke races.] Handbook of Alt Ural Philosophy and Astronoin.y. By Dionysius Lardnee, D.C.L., Re. First Course. Mechamcs—Hydrostalacs- Hydraulice—Pneumatica—Sound—Opties. With upwards of four hundred Illustrations.

[A book which treats of the elements of such well-worked subjects as astro- nomy and natural philosophy owes a main part of its character to its object. Dr. Lardner has had in view "the satisfaction of those who desire to attain a knowledge of the elements of physics without pursuing them through their mathematical consequences and details. The methods of demonstration and. illustration have accordingly been adapted to such readers. The work has also been composed. with the object of supplying that information relating to physical and mechanical science which is required by the medical and law student, the engineer, and artisan, and in s ort, by those who having al- ready entered upon the active pursuits of business, are still desirous to sus- tain and improve their knowledge of the general truths of physics, and of those laws by which the order and stability of the material world are main- tained."] A Translation of the New London Pharmacopeia, including also the New Dublin and Edinburgh Pharmaeopmias • with a full Account of the Chemical and Medicinal Properties of their Contents ; forming a

-emnplete Materia Mediea. By J. Birkbeck Nevins,. M.D. Loud. &c. [The Pharmacopoeia contains an account of all the medicines in actual use, with their modes of preparation" their tests, and doses. For practisal purposes it is therefore a Materm Medica in itself ; but Dr. Nevins has carried the Pliarmacopmia much further than the College of Physicians. He- has used their brief authoritative expositions as a text for expanded com- mentary, going into various topics in more or less detail, with a view to guide the pupil in his studies and' the young practitioner in the application of his knowledge; the modus operandi, and the consequent preference of one medi- cine over another in the same class, being particularly noticed. The addi- tional matter is shown at once to the eye, by the use of a different type. It will be found a very useful book to the student or the practitioner.] The Human Body and its Connexion with Man, illustrated by the Principal Organs. By Tames John Garth Wilkinson, Member at the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

[The object of this- work is to encourage the popular study of anatomy, and to supply the means. It consists of a pretty full but general description of the principal organs of the human body—as the brain, lungs, heart, and the organs of assimilation ; prominence being given to the nervous system, and to- the leading theories connected with it. With this established knowledge Mr. Wilkinson mingles some views of his own, which are rather mystical in idea and diffuse in style.] Knight's Cyclopedia of the Industry of All Nations. 1851.

King/its Cyclopedia of London. 1851. Knight's,;&cursion Companion. Excursions from London. 1861. [Three publications of the indefatigable literary caterer Mr. Charles Knight; consisting of volumes whose portions have appeared periodically. The "Cyclopedia of the Industry of all Nations'. might as well have left out the "all nations " ; it is a cyclopredia of manufactures, commerce, and to a certain extent of art. The "London" is a very elaborate view of the various features of this great city, arranged under their respective heads. The "Ex- cursions from London' embrace twenty tours ; and extensive tours several of them are, for they include Bath and Bristol, Exeter and the South coast of Devon, Plymouth, and even the Isle of Portland. The matter is not alto- gether new, being drawn from the different works published at various times by Mr. Knight during his long and enterprising career ; but the information is brought down to the latest date; and, where- we can test it, is very accu- rate. The publications are profusely illustrated.]

Laurie's Expositor of Foreign Exvhamyes ; being British Coins reduced into Monies of the Principal Countries of the World, at the Ex- changes stated. [Several publications on the relative value of coins. The largest is a tabular view of British coins reduced into the monies of the principal countries-0f

the world at the exchanges-statede printed on aeheet like as almaasek. The same information is presented in the form of a very tiny pocket volume; each country is also printed separately on a card, for the use, of foreigness flocking to the Great .Exhibition.1

Theater fir die Jugend. Von-I. Rosenthal.

The new editions are rather of agreeable or remarkable than impertemis books. Me.sars. Parker have sent forth a new editioa of the Reverend Charles Kingsley's dramatic poem of "The SainteiTragedy," in a new pocket

form, at & lower price by one-half; and a revised edition of Mr. 's spirited sketches of his travels in Spain entitled "'Gazpacho,'" lowered by fifty per cent; in both cases with a view to extended popular circulation. Messrs. Orr have published in a single handy and sightly volume a complete edition of Emerson's prose works. Mr. Oltivier has issued & second edition in & smart, and it strikes us a smaller shape, of Mr. Ferguson's, graphic impressioneof Eastern travel, quaintly-called 'The Pipe of Repose." "The Lorgnette" is an American publication, containing a series. of "sketches" of fashionable society in New York, with an occasional excur- sion to Boston and the watering-places. It has. some resemblance to "8.1. inagunde" which perhaps suggested the idea : though smart and clever,. it would seem to owe its success to its temporary topics as much as to its in- trinsic merit.

The Lorgnett ; or Studies of the Town. By an Opera-goer. In two volumes. Fourth edition.

The following religious books, thougia not altogether reprints, have little novelty in their matter. "Church Education" chiefly derived from Dean Comber's analysis of the Prayer-book called " A Companion to the Temple," prefaced by some remarks on the liturgy and hints on. catechising. The object of "A Monotessaron " is sufficiently stated in its tide : the-mat- ter is derived from the well-known work of the- compiler's father. The' "Chief Bards of the. Bible" is the reprint of a lecture on the-character of the Hebrew Poets-by a self-educated man.

Great Exhibition of Doings in-London for 1851. By- R. Claytou.. [A panoramic seriea of etchings indicative of the humoured- the 'xhibitinar;, where for one hit at a foregone conciliatioa which has become an actuality, there- are twenty at those which yet glimmer in the fool's paradise waiting (or not waiting) substantial fulfilmente—such as the swamping influx of foreigners, and their "fast" doings the agonies of lodginghouse-keepers,, Re. The "notions." are not without point and imactiestai but their em- bodiment is weak.]

Description of Chasseloup de Laubat's System of Fertiffintion. New PERIODICAL.

The Architectural Quarterly Review. No. I.

[This new periodical addresses itself not only to architects and builders, amateurs, and persons following vocations in any way connected with architecture, but to that portion of the public at large which takes an in- terest in the most useful and from its very nature the most prominent and permanent of the fine arts. The subjects the Architectural Quarterly pro- poses to itself are reviews of works both British and Foreign, on a more elaborate plan as regards scale and preparation than can be given in magazines, with briefer accounts of less important publications ; notices of buildings in course of erection or alteration, abroad and at home; and de- scriptions of new inventions. Illustration will not be a feature of the Re- view, but wood-cuts will be had recourse to when necessary.

The present number is a favourable specimen as regards subjects; the articles being various in. their nature, with a due reference to contemporary topics; - the Great Exhibition Building, and Mr. Palaces especially, uz for condemnatory notioe. The character of the execution might be un- proved with advantage. It is rather diffuse in style-and loose in grasp; with some other faults of amateurs.] Penenezre. Thou art Peter.
