Those whose avocations require the volume will doubtless procure it.] Family Prayers for every Morning and Evening throughout the year. Ad- ditional Prayers for special occasions. By Jorrg MORISON, D.D. [Each prayer is contained in the ample page of an imperial octavo volume; Dr. MORISON judiciously bolding that for children, (and many others,) devotion had better be too brief than too long. Many of the compositions are original, either by the editor or his ministerial friends; the others are extracted from various authors both dead and living, with such alterations as Dr. MonisoN deemed necessary for his object. The tone of the work has been made broadly catholic so as to fit it for use by Churchmen as well as Dissenters. The volume is ele- gantly got up, with a frontispiece of LEONARDO DA Ypret's Last Supper.]

An Introduction to the Evidences of the Divine Origin of the Christian Religion, in Question and Answer, for the tse of Schools and Young Persons.

[An excellent compilation in the catechismal form, to fit it for the use of schools where the mutual-instruction system is adopted. The subject is treated under five heads,—the first proving the authenticity of the New Testa- ment ; the second and third adducing evidence to support the facts narrated, both human and miraculous; the fourth examining the diameters of the in- spired writers, and the witnesees of the miracles ; whilst the fifth selects such parts of the prophecies of the Old Testament as bear most strongly upon the Messiah.]

Analysis of the Bible with refurenee to the Social Duty of Man. By R. MONTOOMF.RY MARTIN. Second edition.

The Romance of Jewish lli•dory. By the Misses C. and M. Moss Authoresses of "Early Labile," &e. In three vols.

[The Misses :Sloss are Hebrew ladies, who have endeavoured to illustrate the history and manners of their people in a series of tales. The period they em- brace is from the time of Saul to the last wars of Vespasian and Titus ; the intervening subjects including the reigns of David and his immediate successors, the Bab,. loaish captivity, and the rebuilding of the Jewish temple on the return, with the heroic efforts of the early Maccabees and the civil conflicts of their descendants.] • Sportiny Scenes and Country Characters. By Mxwrxsc ALE. With nu- merous illustrations on wood.

[This elegant volume, with its glossy bronze cover of damask pattern, and its beautiful typography adorned with a profusion of exquisite wood-engravings, is evidently intended for the drawing-room-table. The polished and ornate style of the writer, whose gusto is rather a romantic enthusiasm than the native impulse of animal spirits, proclaims him to be a town-bred amateur, not a genuine country sport :man ; and he addresses the unlearned, not tl:e knowing ones. For inet nines, he calls a gum "the deadly tube," and likens the sightin- gale to a prima donna, and the charcoal-burner to "Caspar" in _Der Freisehatz. For quoting scraps of Latin he has the example of Niemen.); but MARTIN- GALE is a sentimental sportsman, and his book is for the ladies. Not that he is deficient in knowledge of his subject, though it appears rather the result of study than experience : his pictures, too, though tinted con/cur de rose, are faithful in the main, and will he read with pleasure for the information they supply to the dwellers in towns who are strangers to rural enjoyments. All the varieties of field-sports, from fox-hunting and grouse-shooting to float- fishing and trolling, and the different classes of sportsmen and their followers, including poachers and rat-catchers as well as huntsmen and keepers, are described ; and anecdotes are interspersed to enliven the pages ; which are garnished with head-ornaments and initial letters, in addition to vignettes of sport and game. The hinnies- scenes, by ALEEN, are admirable for character; the shooting-scenes, by Dicsss, are picturesque; T. Lasenserst's rustic characters are vigorous ; and some landscapes hy an anonymous artist are best of all, except the portrait of Middleton by ILexcocit, in the title,—a master- piece of wood-engraving by BRANSTON.:1

[A laboured attempt at a black-letter jeu-dbsprit. The Lord Mayor's Pool is only a penster ; and to represent such a lack-wit as putting down the King's Jester, is a libel on the motley.]

The l'arbmr 7'ubb:41,0k. Written and selected by the Author of" Lives of the English Sacred Poets."

[In looking through this volume of quotations from some or the most eminent writers in prose and verse which the English language can boast, the name of "Waisstoasr to frequently recurs, attached to extracts noire remarkable far length than originality, that the reader will wonder who this "great unknown may be, so con St:11111y in the midst of a select cmnpany of' the mighty spirit, of the past : when In it turns out to be the selector himself, who hong an author also, has thus contrived, milli a daring ingenuity, to to ii himself with a passport to immortality, by building a temple of fame in which he fills the largest and most riimplerious niche.

[One of Mr. Nloxos:s repriuts, ineluding the lyrics in the plays, as well as the early hioetry of Sirs E. SP]:R E. The prodigality of imagery, often running into quaiut conceit, and the prolific power of langui1;2e, in these first tdosions of the laird, bespeak that I:is:aridity of fa key which misisters to the higher pur- pose of his dramatic writing, when he gives to passionate emotions the various expression raided to particular characters.

ALMANACKS.

The Comet of Many Tales ; a Comic Kalendar for 1841. With Sketches of Kings ;Ind Commoners. By W. II. Ilsautsox. Illustrated by nu- merous engravings, from designs by \V. LEE. [A dozen of dinners are dished, and as many reigning sovereigns served up in capital style. The characteristics of the Kings and Queens are very smartly hit off in the text ; and the illustrated cuts by W. LEE evince talent, though not exactly of the humorous kind.]

The Veather Almanack, for the Year 1841. By P. Menem., Esq. [Mr. Munruy, nothing daunted by the ill success of his prognostics last year— which he lays to the account of a triad of comets—is as precise in his pro- phecies amides obscure in his speculations as ever. Ile has a slap at the British Association this time.]
