We have received from Mr. MOXON a new and revised
edition of what to many readers will appear the most attractive part of poor Mr. PRINGLE'S delightful African Sketches—the prose narra- tive, separated from the verses. To this Narrative of a Residence in South Africa, Mr. CONDER has prefixed a simple and touching life of the author ; who appears to have fallen a victim to his anxious exertions in the cause of humanity, and the zealous ful- filment of his duties as Secretary to the Anti-Slavery Society. It must not, however, be forgotten, that the overthrow of PRINGLE'S worldly prospects, and the remote origin of his death, if his return to England had any thing to do with it, are traceable to the tyrannical conduct of Lord CHARLES SOMERSET.
We have also received a second edition of Captain GLASCOCK'S Second Series of the Naval Sketch.Rook ; the only new point in which is some illustrative plates,•—• from drawings by SCHETKY.
