The Eclipse of Faith ; or a Visit to a Religious Sceptic.

Passages in the life of Gilbert Arnold; or the Tale of the Four Ser- mons. By Sullivan Earle. [A story of a prodigal son, who became vicious under every human advan- tage, and was converted under circumstances which, if not open to every profligate, are merely accidental. The story contains many sketches of character and of pretty rural pictures ; it is told with elegance and some pathos, and conducted throughout with consistency, except as regards the son of so pious and thoroughly excellent a father turning out such a profli- gate. The final reception of Gilbert Arnold into the church, and the eata- blishment of his victim Jessie in the parsonage as the parson's wife, will give rise to objections ; and perhaps rightly. Repentance and regeneration re- fer te another state ; the parables of the Vineyard and the Prodigal Son ap- ply to heaven and the family—hardly, perhaps, to society at large.] The Poetic Works of Louis Napoleon, now first Done into plain Eng- lish. Illustrated by H. G. Hine.

LA batch of comic pieces in verse professing to contain the opinions of the French President, or descriptive Of the incidents of his career. Many of the poems have a kind of double parody—they burlesque the subject, and they imitate some well-known poem. They are ludicrous, with many hits of a town kind of wit ; but the verse is doggrel. The little book is full of clever wood- cuts, representing the President in all manner of situations.]

Political Economy, for use in Schools, and for Private Instruction. (Chambers's Educational Course.)

[The subjects of this little book are a good deal more extensive than political economy proper ; embracing questions connected with politics,. government, and social economy. The political economy itself is not handled in the form ef systematic exposition, but as a series of essays on particular branches of the science,—as Wages, Capital, Banking. These are treated on the principles of "sound doctrine " ; the manner is distinguished by the sense and shrewdness which characterize the original essays in Chambers's Journal. A wider range as well as a more systematic treatment would have been ad- vantageous ; and perhaps the "whatever is is right" dogma, in reference to capitalists and labour, might have admitted some of the doubts which the modern school of economists have raised upon the question.]

The Natural History of Animals ; being the substance of three Courses of Lectures delivered before the Royal Institution of Great Britain. By Thomas Rymer Jones, F.R.S., &c. Volume IL With one hundred and four Engravings. [The continuation of a very able work, the first volume of which was pub- lished in 1844. The treatment of his subjects by Mr. Rymer Jones is broad, lifelike, and comprehensive a general view of the species rather than a par- ticular account of individuals—the history rather than the biography of animals.] A System of Book-keeping, drawn up for and expressly adapted to the Tanning rrade, embracing Transactions for an entire Year, &c. By Joseph Sawyer' Accountant.

[The tanning trade has this peculiarity, that from the nature of the stock, i a man can never be certain whether he s doing business at a profit or a loss, by the balancing of his books in the regular way. To overcome this dif- ficulty is the object of Mr. Sawyer's publication. It consists of two divi- sions; the first presenting a system of bookkeeping on the usual principles somewhat simphfied ; the second part containing an elaborate exhibition of the method of keeping the books peculiarly adapted to the tanning trade,— as stock-book, tanning-material book, wages-book.]

Zingra, the Gipsy. By Annette Marie Mallard. (Railway Library.) The most noticeable reprint is Mr. Peter Cunningham's "Nell Gwyn," originally published in the Gentleman's Magazine, and now appearing in a handsome volume with additions and revisions. Of the translations, "The Republic of Plato," and possibly Werne's "African Wanderings," are for future notice. "'Catherine Sinclair" is an English edition of an American book written as a set-off to the Mayhews' Greatest Plague in Life. The interest lies in its glimpses of domestic life in America.
