The Saxon in Ireland; or the Rambles of an Englishman in Search of a Settlement in the West of Ireland. With Frontispiece and Map.

Masters and Workmen • a Tale, illustrative of the Social and Moral Condition of the People. By Lord B—. In three volumes. [This is rather a clever novel than a -"tale -illustiat've of the Social and

floral Condition of the People." The state of the workmen in the manufac- turing districts in a time of distress, their exasperation against a hard and selfish master, the frauds to which reckless speculation have given rise on the part of seemingly respectable men, are combined with a not very probable story on the part of the hero. The book lacks a lifelike character; its spirit is rather that of the circulating library than of the true novelist : the tale has movement and interest, but it is without vraisemblance.] Franeia ; a Tale of the Revolution of Paraguay, from authentic sources. By E. Clarence Shepard.

[The subject of this tale is a conspiracy against the celebrated Francia the tyrant of Paraguay ; in which an unacknowledged son of the Dictator is im- plicated and slain. The author appears acquainted with South America, its people, and their manners; but he wants the power of constructing a fic- tion. His story has slender interest.]

Ser Philip Hetherington ; a Tale. By the Author of "Olivia." (Parlour Library.) GenernW ; a Tale of 'Peasant Life. Translated from the French of Al- phonse de Lamartine, by Mary Hewitt. (Parlour Library.) [Shilling volumes.] The Girlhood of Shakespeare's Heroines. Tale III. Helena, the Phy- sician's Orphan. By Mary Cowden Clarke.

- Edwy and Elgiva ; an original Tragedy.

Orations. By the Reverend John W. Lester, BA.

Speaking of his book, the author says, "The title chosen for the following papers seems the most appropriate ; essays they are not, and they are nei- ther simple nor spiritual enough for sermons" : rhapsodies would be their proper title. A series of texts from Scripture are expanded or commented on in higliflown diction, which bears some resemblance to the manner of Carlyle, but the work wants facts and thoughts.]

A Few Obserrations on Nerrous Affections, the result of an extensive experience in the treatment of Nervous Disorders; with sonic Re- marks on the Use and Abuse of " Hydropathy." By Richard Daw- son, M.D.

his is rather an essay on the general treatment of the most usual disorders with which nervous affections may be complicated or primary, than a treatise on strictly nervous complaints, it is very sensibly written; Dr. Dawson not being wedded to any system, but adopting his treatment according to the circumstances of the case and the constitution of the patient. We do not think there is so much novelty in the author's view of practice as he seems to imagine. To consider the age, habits, temperament, and circumstances of the patient, is the custom with all judicious physicians, as well as to attend to regimen, exercise, &c., so far as patients will second them.]

The Mahogany Tree ; its Botanical characters, &c., in the West Indies and Central America ; with Notices of the Projected Interoceanic Communications of Panama, Nicaragua, and Tehuantepec. With a Mup and Illustrations, fic.

[Founded on a pamphlet published some fourteen years since, and the vo- lume is of the nature of a pamphlet now. The account of the mahogany tree and the regions where it grows is compilation ; the canal communica- tion across the Isthmus, and the various woods that are by that means to be 'introduced, is speculation of the prospectus species ; the practical in- formation respecting the preparation of mahogany for the market is valu- able. An object of the publication is to recommend the use of that timber for shipbuilding.] History of England for Junior Classes; with Questions for Examina- tion at the end of each chapter. Edited by Henry White, B.A., Trinity College, Cambridge. [A rapid survey of the history of England, noticing the leading facts specifi- cally, but generalizing subordinate events into results. The latter part of the history is treated rather more fully than the earlier period, and brought down to the present day. Each chapter is followed by questions on its contents.] First Book on Plane Trigonometry ; comprising Geometrical Trigono- metry, and its application to Surveying ; with numerous Examples. For the use of schools. By G. W. Hemming, M.A. [The object of Mr. Hemming in this publication is to present the student with a book that shall embrace the easier portion of trigonometry, which is applicable to surveying, at the same time that it will serve as an introduction to the higher and more difficult branch of analytical trigonometry.] Fifty Lessons on the Elements of the German _Language. By A. Heimann, Ph.D., Professor of the German Language and Literature in University College, London. The Wanda-Val History of Peter Sehlemihl. By Adelbert von Charnisso. With a 'Vocabulary and copious Notes, by Falck Lebahn. [Two publications for students of German. The Fifty Lessons progressively exercise the pupil in the whole grammar ; the verb being made a chief part in every lesson. A vocabulary is prefixed to each, "chosen with the double view, clearly to elucidate the rules, and to furnish the pupil with those words which are most common in familiar language." The ll'onde)fal History of Peter Sehlemihl contains the text of Chamisso's celebrated tale, followed by a vocabulary and explanatory notes.] A Grammar of the French Tongue.

Beetled, en Prose et en Vera, de Morceaux tires des Aleilleurs An/curs Francais. Prepared by Authority for the Use of the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. By G. Cambier. [Two elementary books for students of French. The grammar is full withoat being overlaid, well-considered exercises following each rule. The selections are chiefly from writers of former times, though the present age is not overlooked : they are well varied both in the subjects and mode of com- position.]

[Designed as a popular introduction to metaphysics.] The Progress of the Nation, in its various Social and Economical Re- lations, from the Beginning of the Nineteenth Century. By G. It. Porter, Eel , F.R.S., &c. A new edition. [This third edition, in a single volume, brings down the progress of the nation to as near the present time as the returns permit. In a preface, soberly exult- ing, the author points attention to the success of Free-trade principles, as shown by the statistics, as well as by the abolition of the Navigation-laws, and the more liberal commercial legislation of foreign countries.] Saint Mary, the Virgin and the Wife; a Cottage Eclogue.
