QUARTERLY REVIEWS.

" The Invasion of England" is the ominous title of an article in the new number of the Quarterly which ought to be studied with the deepest

attention. The state of our national defences supersedes in urgent in- terest every other question that can at this moment come under the con- sideration of the British people ; and if the writer of the article has not

greatly. erred in his facts, the time allowed us for consideration may be too brief to avert "a catastrophe, such as has not appalled the world since the downfall of the Roman empire." In the opening article the " Life of Erasmus " is ably sketched in some sixty pages ; his many faults are firmly but tenderly indicated ; and honour is paid in liberal

measure to him "who in influence at least was the greatest of the 'Re- formers before the Reformation.' " Mr. Francis's "Annals and Anec- dotes of Life Assurance" is made the subject of a useful and amusing

paper. "Popular Music of the Olden Time" and " Berkshire," one of the series of topographical and historical essays for which the Quarterly is famous, deserve special notice among the other articles of' a remarkably good number.

The view which the Edinburgh takes of the present " State of the Navy" is scarcely more consolatory than that presented by the Quar- terly. The requisite measures for restoring the preeminence at sea which we ought never to have lost will occupy at least two years, ac- cording to the Edinburgh, and among them are some for which the

Board of Admiralty is incompetent, and which "require the power and resolution of a dictator." In an interesting review of Brialmont's Life of the Duke of Wellington, we find the following original anecdote, illustrating the Duke's habit of never allowing himself any relaxation till every duty was discharged. "On the night previous to one of the Duke's Peninsular victories, another officer came up to Alava and asked in much alarm, ' What will be- come of us ? We shall have a great battle tomorrow, and Lord Wellington is doing nothing but flirting with Madame de Quintana.' `I am very glad to hear it,' replied Alava, if we are to have a great battle tomorrow ; for it is quite certain that all his arrangements are made, if he is flirting with Madame de Quintana.' " The unfortunate and much slandered Marie Antoinette is the subject of a paper which has strong claims to popularity ; and for scholars and divines there is inviting matter in those on 't The Acropolis of Athens," and "Dr. Cureton's Syriac Gospels."
