Notes and Narratives of a Six Years' Mission, principally among the Dens of London. By R. W. Vanderkiste, late London City

Mis-

sioIIary.

[Mr. Vander te's notes have not an interest proportioned to his oppor- nities. He carries the reader into the "dens" of crime, guilt, and poverty, in the purlieus of Clerkenwell, and he describes his successes and his failures in converting their inhabitants ; but his manner has too much of religious and philanthropic conventionalism in it to excite interest or to inspire reliance. We do not mean that Mr. Vanderkiste wilfully misrepresents, or that he sees so implicitly what he wishes to see as many of his collabora- teurs ; but the tone and manner are common, belonging to the Missionary Magazine school. The best part of the book is a section relating to some Hungarian, Polish, and Italian refugees; whose poverty, and the resignation with which it was borne, are too striking in themselves to be much marred by any telling.] A Latin Grammar. Containing : Part I. The Eton Grammar, revised and corrected ; Part II. A Second or Larger Grammar, in English, for the higher classes in Schools, &c. By the Reverend J. T. White, A.M., &c.

[The title describes the first part of this Latin Grammar ; the second part follows the absolute rules into their exceptions and details, especially as regards inflection and syntax. There are some discussions of a rather critical character and some useful rules for construing. In a new edition, it might be advisable to publish the two parts separately, for a boy will destroy the first part before the second can be of much use to him.] The First Two Books of the Elements of Euclid ; printed chiefly accord- ing to the Text of Simson, with additional Figures, Notes, Explana- tions, &c. By Nicholas Pocock, &c. [An attempt to render Euclid's Elements more interesting than heretofore to the beginner, by adopting Pott's mode of typographical arrangement, and by fuller directions, especially in drawing the figures.] En Birk Alice; a Poem, in five Cantos. By Alexander John Evelyn,

[English Alice is the daughter of a Cavalier, who takes refuge in Spain, and dies leaving Alice alone in a foreign land. There is a lover, and there is a villain—monk and Inquisitor, of course. The lover gets into the Inquisi- tion, but is rescued through Alice • and Alice is about to be put to the tor- ture when she is rescued by the Consul, who terrifies the Holy Office with the name of Cromwell. Byron's Lore seems to have been in Mr. Evelyn's mind, if it was not his model.] Of the following books, " Shakspere and his Times" contains the admi- rable and philosophical essay which M. Guizot prefixed to the French edi- tion of Shakspere's complete works, published at Paris in 1821. To this essay, which occupies about half the volume, M. Guizot has added, hy per- mission of the author, the critical notices of Shakspere's principal dramas that the Due de Broghe published in the Revue Francaise, together with an essay by the same writer on the dramatic art in France. The new edition of " Coleridge's Poems" has been handled with more freedom than some may consider proper to be taken with an author, though with a manifest gain to the reader. Juvenile poems that do not possess strong indications of genius, and various productions of later years that fall into a similar category, are omitted, and the volume contains nothing but what Coleridge himself or his editors consider as worthy of his pen. A. change of arrangement has also been adopted, of which the basis is chrono- logy: the poems are classed according to the epochs of their production—in youth, early manhood, middle life, declining age ; and so far as the edi- tors' knowledge or the nature of the pieces permitted, in the order of their composition.

"Notes on the North-west Provinces of India" are a series of papers illus- trative of the working of our Police and Revenue systems, and of the duties of those who have to administer them : they onginally appeared in the J3enares Magazine, with the exception of the last.

PRINT.

Les Noces de Cana. (The Marriage-Feast of Cana.) Painted by Paolo Veronese ; engraved by Z. Prevost. [TUB French print is a beautiful engraving of the admirable masterpiece the Louvre. We shall do well, however, to forget the source and reel nature of the subject, or we shall never value the painting at its worth. Let us not look out for points of sacred character—seek to discover the Divinity in the Saviour, or the "blessed among women" in the Virgin : for we shall not find them. It must be frankly understood at starting that there is nothing religious in the picture ; which is as much as to say that the inner spirit of the theme has not been apprehended, and that the work cannot consequently come within the category of high art. A marriage-feast is here, neither more nor less—but a marriage-feast conceived and ordered in a princely feeling; the personages noble and beautiful, and the whole pervading tone 'that of dignified and genial courtesy. As a specimen of pictorial furniture, of the finest of all kinds of decoration, a more perfect thing does not exist. It possesses the further interest also of containing portraits of several famous painters and others, among them Titian and Tintoretto. The print is in the hest style of line-engraving, very complete, finished, and artistic, with an excellent effect of delicacy and lightness.]
