The Golden Horn ; and Sketches in Asia Minor, Egypt, Syria, and the Ifauraan. By Charles James Monk, MA., Trinity College, Cambridge. In two volumes.

The Philosophy of Ragged Schools. [The topics of this volume are—a discussion upon the duties of society and governments on Christian principles ; a view of the dangers to which Eng- land may yet be exposed from the "dangerous classes" a sketch of the history of raggraggedschools, with an account of the beneficial effects produced i

by one school n particular, and an earnest recommendation for their en- couragement. The Christianity of the writer is large and genial ; he sees clearly. the power of its spirit of kindness' when stripped of dogmas and sec- tariamems, in operating upon the minds of the ignorant and depraved ; but he does not, we think, appreciate the difficulty of finding numbers of teachers such as he describes, or of- dealing with the mass of the "ragged" pupils after they leave the schools. In a literary point of view, the book has not the force and scholarship that distinguish some of the "Small Books on Great Subjects," to which series this volume belongs.]

Euphranor ; a Dialogue on Youth. [This is less a dialogue on "youth" than on education, limited for the most part to the training of a young gentleman, so as to "make a man of him" ; the scheme of education combining the development of the phy- sics], intellectual, and moral faculties, order being taken for each in the pro- gression we have mentioned. The dialogue is well varied and conducted ; the peculiarities of the dramatis personm are consistently supported; the men and manners of the University truly presented, though the forms of Cambridge life may be unduly paraded; and the style is animated and scholarly. There is nothing very new, however, either in the direct subject of education or in the More incidental topics of "youth" and things in .general. It is old matter well put, and that is all.] Australia and Prison Discipline." Dedicated, by permission, to the . Right Honourable Earl Grey.

[A brief account of the various Australasian Colonies, and their history as settlement& To this are added eketches of their state of society, in its social, industrial, and official aspects, especially in relation to Van Diemen 's Land. There:is also a plan for continuing transportation but avoiding its demo- ralizing tendencies upon the colomes, by confining the convicts to an leo- lated.part of Van Diemen's Land, arranging them in classes, and subjecting them to certain dikeiplitie.

The sketches are the best part of the volume: they exhibit in a striking degree the official and legal abuses that may obtain in a colony without a constitution or self-government. Some of the stories are of that kind which is called "good "; and we have some doubts whether the author does not deal in extreme and exceptional cases, perhaps dressed up a little.] The Scale of Medicines with which Merchant-Vessels are to be Fur- nished, by command of the Privy Council for Trade, in pursuance of the 63(1 clause of the "Mercantile Marine Act, 1850," &c. By T. Spencer Wells, F.R.C.S., Surgeon, Royal Navy.

Ir i is publication is n some degree based upon a book published by the late r. M'Arthur under the auspices of Sir Witham Burnett, which contained plain instructions in case of accidents at sea, and directions for the use of the medicines with which every merchant-vessel not carrying a surgeon was compelled to be provided under the 7 and 8 Vie. cap. 112. Under Mr. Labouchere's late act, the duty of superintending merchant-vessels was trans- ferred from the Admiralty to the Board of Trade, which has issued a new scale. Hence this little book ; which is well adapted for its purpose, contain- ing plain instructions as to what may be done by non-medical persons with safety' and what should not be attempted. There are also some good re- marks on ventilation, cleanliness, diet, and management on ship-board.] Jesus ; a Poem' in six Books. By Henry Stebbing, D.D., F.R.S.

[The leading events in the life of our Saviour are the subject of this poem-; varied by appropriate reflections, and an introductory review of the history and condition of man before the Advent. It exhibits a remarkable degree of fluency and rhetorical ability, with considerable skill in the management of the subject ; and it will form an agreeable volume for many families who are pleased with religious verse. It is somewhat deficient in the higher characteristics of poetry, and is exposed to two hard comparisons—" Paradise Regained," and the "New Testament" narrative.] The Modern Housewife or Maagere ; comprising nearly One Thousand

Receipts for the economic and judicious Preparation of every Meal of the Day, and those for the Nursery and Sick-room ; with minute Di- rections for Family Management in all its branches. Illustrated with Engravings, including the Modern Housewife's unique Kitchen and Magic Stove. By Alexis Soyer' Author of "The Gastronomic Rege- nerator." Twentieth thousand.

[There is such a demand for Soyer's directions on how to eat, that one would think the illustrious chef could scarcely find time to revise : he however manages to do something in that way for his twentieth thousand, called for in little more than two years !]

Choice Examples of Art Workmanship, selected from the Exhibition of Ancient and Medimval Art at the Society of Arts. Drawn and engraved under the superintendence of Philip de la Motte. [A handsome record of a very memorable exhibition. But we think the se- lection shows a preference for works of the later part of the sixteenth and subsequent centuries, to the partial disregard of those earlier periods which offer models so far purer and suggestions so much more worthy to be borne i in mind. Of the sx bas-reliefs in ivory ascribed to Flamingo, a]so,—the drunken stupefactions or impossible revelries of infants,—we must say that what ought never to have been invented did certainly not deserve reproduc- tion in another form.] The Idol Demolished by its Own Priest; an Answer to Cardinal Wise- man's Lectures on Transubstantiation. By James Sheridan Knowles, Author of " Virginius."
