[The first of a series of oloothly volumes of historical biogrephies of the 1,Itieens of England, from time Conquemft to the preseut reigo ; containing the consorts of the Conqueror, IIENov the First, STsenufs, and Ilcsoy the Second ; with an introduction sketching the most famous of the early British and Anglo-Saxon Queens. In the preface the authoress complains, that the title by which her work was first announi,eml has been appropriated by another biesrapher—idto has, however, only given a selection of the English

Queens : Miss Sratentssn intends giving in of them all, forty in number ; of whom five only were Sovereigns m their own right, the rest being Queens-Consort. We may take another opportunity, when the work is further advanced, of more fully entering upon its merits : meanwhile, a causal glance at the first volume gives its an impression that the authoress is impartial, and that she has taken paios its making researches anmog original documents both in this country and in France: her narratives are lively, and full of facts reflecting the characters and manners of the times.] The United States of _Volk -Inwrica as they are, not as they are generally described : being a cure for Radicalism. By THOMAS BuoTusas, resident in the United States fifteen years. [Mr. THOMAS BROTHERS was a Radical of the olden time, when Radicalism was a dangerous profession. He was made a convert to the creed by the loan of TOM PAINE'S Rights of Man; and so smitten was his youth with the doctrines of that apostle of freedom, that he gave up all, and started for America, where Ise expected the Rills liberty andhappiness Ivould shine perpetually. After a little while he found out his error, but struggled on for fifteen years a a and now, dreading the advance of Democracy its his adored England, he thrown time results of his experience into a dozen lettets, addressed according to the subjects. The letter on the " Discipline of the State Prisons " is Written to Lord JOIIN RUSSELL I Mr. THOMAS ATTWOOD is favoured with an exposition of the " American System of Banking ;" to the Earl of STANnal% he says what he has to say on " Ballot ;" and so forth. The style of Mr. BooTuuns is something like CORDETT'S—plain and goaheml-like ; but Ise has not the race any more than the coarseness of that great master. Be possesses shrewdness, and good common sense; but his mind is not comprehensive, and therefore his .judgments are narrow. The book, however, is curious, and to those who will read it with the requisite caution may be found useful, not so much for Mr. Buornrms's own views, as for the immense mass of flirts it contains. These consist of extracts from newspapers, public documents, &e.; true, very probably, but singular ; and offering therefore, without some qualification, the bailie idea of America as a collection of the worst police-reports, and the most glaring. things mentioned before Parlia'mutiny Committees, would give of Great Britain.] Le Bouquet des SOUrellirti; a Wreath of Friendship. The Botanical portion by the Rev. J. S. Iluxstow, Professor of Botany in the University of Cambridge. Twenty-five coloured plates.

[A triad of fair botanists have woven a coronal lbr the year, of poetry, prose, and pictures; selecting two simple flowers characteristic of each month, which they have painted with exquisite skill and truth, and discoursed upon with a fine sense ef the beauties of nature and the poetry of their associations ; one of the party tuning a sinnple lay to each flower, and the ProMssor furnishing the scientific account. A. graceful and amiable spirit pervades the volution, mingled with religious sentiment ; and the elegance of the exterior accords With the beauty of its contents.]

[Some happy husband and fond father has suffered the outpourings of his domestic hums to escape the privacy of the family-album, to which they bud better have been conhned, artist has not at all contributed to avert the Smiles of quizzical folks.]

Miry Stuart; an Historical Tragedy, now performing at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. By JAMES HAYNES, Author of "-Conscieuce," &c.

[The author, in his " Advertisement," candidly confesses that he entered upon his task rashly, and found that neither the subject nor the characters were suited to the stage; but, being loth to lose his labour, he resolved to finish his work. Others will be of opinion that the subject is even less suited to Mr. 11AT:ins's powers than to his purpose.]

Poems. By Mrs. HENRY IL SANDEACIL

77ie Life of Christ. Illustrated by choice passages from one hundred and thirty-eight eminent British asul Foreign Divines; and ensbellished

with seventy wood-engravings after celebrated masters. [This volume is an endeavour to illustrate the life of Christ by the Scripture narrative, the commentaries of the most eminent divines, and the effect of pictorial representation. The arrangement is not eltronolOgical, but the events are classified under various heads—as the Exaltation of Christ, the Humiliation, the Miracles—the first embracing the Adoration of the Shepherds, &c. The mode of proceedbm is first to quote the Scriptural account, and theu to follow it with the most ariking passages upon tlae.subject selected from various authors. Seventy wood-cuts from the designs of the great masters illustrate the text, and the whole forms a very handsome' volume.]

As a book of refiwence, this is the nsost useful, complete, and beautiful of its kind: a knowledge of the science, as well as of the most remarkable specimens of architecture, may be gleaned from its pages, such az will suffice for the information of any Itut a professional student,—even to idiom, however, the "glossary" will be very handy. The wood engrasings are flu hest architectural prints that have beet' dune in this style ; the parts well defined, with sharpness and strong effect of relied]

[There are two 'nodes in which words nsay Ire explained in a elaris,—one, by

it mere interpretation of single senses ; the other, by a philosophical exposi tion of the general meaning of the word, with the various modes in which it is

limited and applied. The last is the plats of Dr. 1.3r.00mrsnhn, so far as it can

BeLwrn, Bart., M.P., M.A.

[This speculation purports to form, what it will not, the " Works of Sir E. L. Bulwer, Bart.,"—tiw the copyright of the most racy and best of his fictions would appear to he its other Minds; and although l'elham, Eugene ...tram, &e.

The first volume contains Rienzi; and is handsomely got up in typography, binding, and illustrations. The dedication is to the author s mother. The principal novelty is on the outside, where stands as large as letters can make it " Works of Sir E. L. Bulwer, Burt.,"—a new mode of lettering, which shows that the Government knew the weakness of the great "literary Whig" when they gave him a " handle " to Isis name.]

A Righte Faithful! Chronique of the Ladies and Knights who gained worship at the Grand Tourney hohha at his Castle by the Earl of 1:glintona. [The quanst title of this magniloquent description of the doings at Eglintoun, is doubtless intended to avert the ridicule which the Oss.ianie style of the writer might provoke from sober people whose brains are not turned by these amateur Qttixotries: but we must not omit to say that the account of the pag,eant in all its details, even to the costumes of the guests, is complete; and Shut sus account of the °sighs and decay of tournaments gives some substance to the brochure.]

CA popular work of science devoted to that large class of the animal creation comprising Man, Quadrupeds, and the Whale ; illustrated by representations of the structure and habits of the different species, admirably designed and cut on wood. The skeletons, skulls, brains, and vertebrae, that illustrate the introductory matter, appear to be as minutely accurate in details as the .anatomist can desire ; and the specimens of the animals, which are printed with a tint and white lights over the wood, are pictorially beautiful. The work will be completed in four volumes ; and in a more advanced stage we may take an opportunity of passing its contents in review.]

The Comic Novel, or Downing Street and the Days of Victoria. By Lynx. With many illustrations in many styles by the Artists' Fun Society.

The Tournament at Eglintoun Castle. Drawn and Lithographed by

EDWARD CORHOULD.

LA handsome folio of eight scenes of the Eglintoun Tournament, representing the park and tilting ground, the procession, the jousting, the victor rewarded by the Queen of Beauty, and the ball that concluded the festivities ; sketched on the spot, and executed in tinted lithography, in a masterly style, and prefaced by a description of the pageant. The subject is exactly suited to the taste and talent of EDWARD CORBOULD, who has shown superior skill as a draughtsman in delineating the figures and costumes. The shock of the encounter at the barriers, in which one of the knights is unhorsed, is yer, spirited, and the sword-fight between Lords ALFORD and WATERFORD is really chivalric—the combatants seem in earnest, and the action of both men and horses is full of fire and energy. In comparison with this stirring scene, the others look comparatively cold and tame—though perhaps not less characteristic on that account. Colour, however, is necessary to realize the splendours of the pageantry.] Canadian Scenery Illustrated. From drawings by W. 11. BARTLETT, engraved in the first style of the art by E. WALLIS, J.
