BOOKS.

The Tory Baronet; or Tories, Whigs, and Radicals. By One who Knows Them. In three volumes.

[The title of this book, if not the book itself; seems to have been got up with a view to take advantage of the market ; for the time of the story relates to the period of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S Ministry before the Reform Bill, and the chief political incident is the frequent one of a contested election. Neither does the writer appear to have much knowledge of politicians, or indeed of society, to enable him to handle the subject he undertook; his knowledge of life and character seem to be derived from the older novelists. The Tory Baronet is a young citizen, good-natured and generous, but ambitious of getting into society above him ; he therefore turns Tory, as the most likely mode. By means none of the most probable, he gets acquainted with a needy lord, who recommends him to a borough, making a profit out of the purchase-money : and this incident and these persons form the principal part of the book. But though neither a true picture of any particular life,. nor by any means a good novel, there is a matter-of-fact character about The Tory Baronet, united with & pervading heartiness, that will render it acceptable enough to those readers who are al.& of fashionable or sentimental fictions.] A Narrative of the Early Days and Remembrances of Oceola Nikko- nochee, Prince of Econchatti, a young Seminole Indian, son of Econ- chatti-Mico, King of the Red Hills, in Florida ; with a brief History of his Nation, and his renowned Uncle, Oceola, and his Parents: and amusing Tales, illustrative of Indian Life in Florida. Written by his Guardian.

[OCEOLA NIKICANOCHEE is the son of a Seminole chief, taken prisoner by the Americans in the Florida war, and adopted by the author of this volume, when Colonel WARREN, the commander of his captor, became apprehensive that the child might be claimed as a prisoner by the State. The same sort of feeling, it appears, haunted his adopted father, and induced him to quit America for England ; where he has now published this volume, to bring his protégé into fuller notice, and to serve "the cause of the Red Indians."

It was said by a Roman that it was the function of his countrymen to do great things, and of the Athenians to give things an air of greatness by their art of writing. The author of this volume has more of the Roman in him than of the Athenian : he can better protect an Indian child, than describe from the indistinct impressions of that child his early life, or from the reports of soldiers engaged in the Florida war the exploits of that child's relations and tribe, or from his own experience and observation the character and manners of the Red Indians—all which he professes to do. Perhaps, however, the true cause of his deficiency in writing, is his attempt to make a book out of materials for a pamphlet.] The Poetical Works of Thomas Moore, collected by Himself. In ten volumes. Vol. IX.

[This volume contains the fugitive satirical poems, all of them approaching and many belonging to our own times—the times since "the Bill." To these are added "The Fudge Family. in England," and a variety of miscellaneous poems, including the songs in Mr. MooRE's opera of "M.P. or the Blue stocking." The preface is not very particular ; it merely tells why the writer has not complied with some friendly suggestions to add explanatory notes to the various yeux d'esprit. The most remarkable thing in it is a note, from which we learn that Lord HOLLAND has left behind him manuscript "Memoirs of his own Times, and of those immediately preceding him." We trust they will be published in our time.] Black's Picturesque Tourist of Scotland. With an accurate travelling.. map, engraved charts and views of the scenery, plans of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and a copious itinerary. Second edition.

[The new edition of this compact and elegant guide-book has been made more complete and correct by careful revision, the introduction of fresh information to the extent of one-fourth of its previous substance, and the addition of several new road-charts and picturesque views. The most interesting portions of the new matter are a tour to the "Land of Burns," including the spots associated with his poems, and a description of the line of railway between Edinburgh and Glasgow ; and among the additional views, those of Abbotsford, Loch .Katrine, and Edinburgh Old Town. The itinerary and road-maps of the several tours are most useful for the tourist to refer to on the route; and we have been furnished with an incidental proof of the remarkable accuracy of the charts and descriptions, in the personal testimony of a pedestrian who has traversed a considerable space book in band. The execution of the copper- plates, both views and maps, is beautiful; and the book is altogether attractive as well as serviceable.]

An Appeal to the Rubric, in a review of the several clauses of the Ritual Code. With suggestions for general uniformity in the public services of the United Church of England and Ireland. By SAMUEL ROWE, M.A., Vicar of Crediton, Devon.

[A kind of explanatory commentary on the Book of Common Prayer; with, as the titlepage expresses it, suggestions for general uniformity in the public services of the Anglican Church. These points, however, are of small import- ance, if any local difficulty, or old-established custom in the parish, militates against their adoption.]

Household or Family Expense Book, arranged to show the total cost of the various articles of consumption, the taxes paid out of the same to the privileged classes, and the Government taxes. [A Free Trade housekeeping-book, with columns for noting down the amount of taxes paid on each article of food, to the landowners, the India merchants, and the Government : the sums must be calculated by the housekeeper according to a scale of percentage, which assumes that the landlords' taxes amount to twice as much as those levied by Government, and the West India tax to one-fourth of the Government tax.] Wilhon's Method of Teaching Singing, adapted to English use, under the superintendence of the Committee of Council on Education, by JOHN

be given' than that his writing has power to attract those to whom reading can

scarcely be called a recreation, and that in the midst of other demands.]

PICTORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS AND PRINTS.

Edward Taylor, Professor of Music in Gresham College; Sheriff of Nor- wich in 1830. Painted by R. S. TAIT, Esq.; engraved by H. E. DAWE. [A faithful and speaking likeness of the Gresham Professor of Music, and an excellent work of art. Mr. PAST'S name is new to us, and we know not whether he is a veteran or a young disciple of the good old school of portraiture to which this print belongs : be this as it may, he has given a resemblance re- plete with animation and intellect : the countenance wears that look of calm collectedness characteristic of the original, and the breadth and simplicity of the artist's style produce an effect of repose in accordance with the quietude of the expression. The mezzotint, by Mr. DAWE, has a sobriety of tone and solidity of texture, equally remote from heaviness or factitious brilliancy, that we are agreeably surprised to meet with in a plate by him.] Studies of Park Trees and Rustic Scenes. Drawn from nature and on stone by GEORGE BARNARD. No. I. [The first part of a series of sketches of trees, single and in groups ; showing the effect of foliage in combination with other features of the landscape, both in wild and cultivated scenery. Mr. BARNARD was a pupil of HARDING, OR whose style he has modelled his own; and though he has not the breadth and freedom nor the force and brilliancy of his master, there is a propriety and neatness in his drawing which please, inasmuch as they indicate a careful ob- servation of the characteristics of the different kinds of foliage. These clever and faithful studies are good preparatives for pupils not sufficiently advanced to profit by the bolder and more refined productions of Halinuio; whose long- expected work on Trees is on the eve of publication.] Engravings after the Best Pictures of the Great Masters. Part ILL [Contains Racnanes cartoon of "Paul Preaching at Athens," "The Con- version of St. Paul," by RUBENS, and a sea-piece by CLAUDE. The engrav- ings are mediocre copies, on a reduced scale, of fine prints; and fall far short of the demands of the subjects and the pretensions of the work itself.] Le Keux's Memorials of Cambridge, No. XVL

A National Standard fur the Maintenance of Civil and _Religious Liberty in the British Empire. lotion of ScstrixEres "Robbers." But we would hint to the contributors and managers of the periodical, that if they wish to attract attention beyond their own friends and the friends of the College, they should endeavour to get more of matter and reality, and to rely less upon word-ringing in their papers. It is needless to particularize instances of this defect ; but we may observe, that the

reface or introduction to the translation of the "Robbers," giving an account of previous English editions, scant though it be, has that reality and directness which will be found more useful in attracting the public than any given amount of ingenuity in showing what can be said upon a given theme.] Westminster Review, No. LXX.
