thor of " Darnley," &c.

[Of the contents of this new volume by Mr. JAMES we must take another opportunity of speaking. Mr. BENTLEY has done his part to achieve original- ity in all that depends upon Lim—a new novel by a popular author in a stout single volume, looking. worth its money, and seeming to vouch for containing as much matter as is frequently put into three volumes. A portrait of the author faces the titkpage ; 1001.iing a compound of the lawyer, the litthateur, and the sober dandy, with a couple of solitary tufts of hair on the side of the clan, very much resembling star-fish.] Hannibed in Bithynia: a Play. By HENRY GALLY KNIGHT, Esq. M.P. [Meritorious viewed as an intellectual exercise of a man of leisure and scholarly attainments with a taste for poetry ; but regarded as a play, mere polished com- monplace dialogue, in the f'orm and costume of a classical drama, but devoid alike of tire and strung interest. Whenever the author aims at force of ex- pression either in the grand or familiar style, the lack of true inspiration is evident.] Trials of Strength : a Talc, illustrative of Moral and Physical Courage. By Mrs. BARWELL, Author of "Little Lessons," "Nursery Govern- ment," &c.

[The characteristics of animal and mental courage are strongly marked in the adventures of two brothers, till towards the conclusiun, when the physically courageous boy becomes morally brave also. The juvenile persons are drawn with spirit and discrimination, and the moral is enforced in a way to impress young readers.] Little Derwent's Breakfast. By a Lady. Illustrated by Engravings.

[A goad idea well executed. " Litt,e Derweut" is DERwissar MocventE COLERIDGE, a grandson of the poet ; and some lady-friend has embalmed the various subjects of the breaktitst-table, in verse alternately didactic and de- scriptive, to impress upon his childish mind the difficulties and varied labours necessary to furnish the morning meal. The loaf of bread carries him into the corn-field, front seed to harvest-time ; and to the barn, the miller, and the bakehouse ; sugar induces a description of tropical vegetation and storms ; ten, of China and the Chinese ; and so on till the theme is exhausted. Inter- mixed with these poems are a few of a religious and several of an occasional nature. The verse is always pleasing, and sometimes the line has a rigour which indicates that the author may be tit tbr higher subjects. In " The Eaglet of Benvenne," there is a simple strength, which reminds its of the earlier works of SOUTHEY.] Megnetieal Investigations. Part L.—comprising- Investigations on the Capacity and Retentiveness of Steel fur the magnetic condition, and the Processes for determining the quality and hardness of steel. By the Reverend WI LLI.131 Sconnsitv.

LThe importance that the pliu•nomeuri of magnetism have assumed since their identification with those of electricity and emlvauistn, has rendered the arti- ficial magnet an instrument of scientific interest and practical utility : these turestiptions of the principles that regulate the power of the steel magnet are valuable aims towards constructing it of the utmost possible strength, and re- taining- and restoring its force.]

SERIALS.

Beliques of Ancient English Poetry. Early English Poetry. No. I. [Scarcely a week passes without our being called upon to chronicle the appear- ance of some work of standard merit addressed to the many. Here is a new reprint by Mr. TEMPLEMAN of PERCY'S Br/Pries; a work which is valuable as a. collection of our old popular literature ; interesting for the quaint, simple, and characteristic ballads which it contains ; and curious as being the prototype of the Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, and as contributing to in- fluence the mind or at least the career of SCOTT himself. Nor should Dr. PEncy pass without praise. Independent of his industry and zeal in collecting., taste in selecting, and skill in emending, his notes and illustrations possess the high merit of elegance displayed in antiquarianism, and the rarer, of an editor knowing when to stop. His rret'aee is a remarkable instance of how much interest can he imparted to bibliographical researches, when the writer confines himself to the essentials, and imparts vivacity to what he tells. Be- sides the curimis disquisition on the Ancient Minstrels, the Part before us con- tains time W1101C the first hook of the first Series of Ballads, embracing amongst others " Chevy Chase " and " Sir Cauline."]
