[This volume commences with the accession of HENRY the Fourth (1399), and doses with the death of ELIZA.BETh (1603). Without losing any of its eom- praension or varietv of subject, its execution appears to us to have consider- :Oh; improved. There is the same infusion of the spirit of the original chro- nicler, which, we formerly observed,* conveyed a " truer idea of the nature of the country, the state of society," and the general characteristics of the period, than we had met with; at the same time there is more animation of style, and a juster reflection. The description of the battle of Agincourt is of the best accounts of a fight in the middle ages that we have read; the quiteiv is made clear, and all the points and quaintness of the age are brought out. 'The text is as profusely illustrated as is possible; between three and four hundred engravings!] 7'he Hand-Book fin. Australian Emigrants : being a Descriptive History of Australia, and containing an Account of the Climate, Soil, and Natural Productions of New South Wales, South Australia, and Swan River Settlement ; the theilitica they offer for Emigration; the terms mon which Land is purchased in each ; the advantages they possess for inemasing the Capital of the Emigrant, and furnishing a profitable market for his Labour. By SAMUEL Btert.zu, Esq. [An account of the colonies of New South Wales, South Australia, and twan River. The descriptions of the physical features of the country, and other matters of a like nature, seem drawn from respectable sources, and the numerous extracts from the personal narratives of emigrants give an air of interest and reality to its pages ; but the soundness of the author's vkw: are very questionable, if lie is not unfiirly biassed. What reliance can he lulaced on the judgment or knowledge of a man who, after the evidence girth hefore the Transportation Committee, says of New South Wales— "'to a rhilanthropist who has visited any part of this earth, nothing can give trcro pleasure tlum to see the grand moral spectacle which our Penal Colonies pa.oit ; it is indeed a glorious sight !":1 Journal of Three rommes about the Guist V China, in 1831, I532, and 1;.,:i:3; with Notices fir Siam, Clara, and the Loo-Chon ishinds.

[This Reader is a new design, well executed. The object was to produce work which should inculcate peace and morality, instead of the glittering, gay, or warlike notions liable to be infused into mind from descriptions such

as Othello poured the ear of Desdemona. But though the 'Om is "se- rious," it has nothing dull : the selections are brief, various, and sufficiently entertaining ; and by no means drawn from sectional sources. As a proof, the Duke of WE[,LINGTON contributes a sentiment on civil war ; CHESTERFIELD inculcates the value of minutes, easy carriage and good breeding; and even SnELLEv, Brim, and BYRON, are tasked to furnish supplies.] A Popular Treatise on Gout and Rheumatism; with Observations on the Symptoms, Treatment, and Cure.

SERIALS.

A Statistical Account of the British Empire. By J. R. M.accumoeN, Esq. Part VII. [The articles of this part are" Revenue and Expenditure," with its subordinate or collateral branches ; " Crimes, Punishments, and Prisons;" " Improvements in Food, Clothing, and Lodging ;" the conclusion of "Education ; ' and the beginning of " Vital Statistics:" Some additions appear to us to have been made to " Revenue and Expenditure ;" but this branch of the subject is still very defective in details, and the general particulars are drawn from a Treasury compilation, the authorities for which are as open to any inquirers as to the Tratsury clerks. The mass of information which is brought together under the various heads renders this part, however, a cheap five shillings worth.] Aports of Lectures delivered at the Chapel in South Place, Finsbury.
