"The Herbal is executed in a very meritorious and interesting manner. All the vegetable productions mentioned In the Scriptures are alphabetically enumerated and described, and the texts in which they occur cited; the properties of the various plants are stated under each, and, where critical opinions differ as to their identification, compared, with the authoress's judgment on the conflicting testimony. Beautiful woodcuts illustrate all the specimens, whilst the authoress's travels have enabled her to offer many original remarks of an interesting kind. Finally, the whole is seasoned with appropriate quotations and reflections to relieve the drier points of inquiry, and blend the pleasing with the instructive, in an elegant style, than which nothing could be better adapted to the nature of the volume: and when we have added that the book is altogether AN EXCELLENT BIBLE COMPANION, we can bestow no higher praise."-LITERARY GAZETTE.

CARLÉN (EMILIE). THE ROSE OF TISTELON:

A Tale of the Swedish Coast. By EMILIE CARLéN. Translated from the original Swedish. 2 vols. post 8vo. 21s. boards.

"Many passages descriptive of manners, character, or nature, might be quoted from this novel, possessing all the power, truth, and finish of a Flemish painting. Notwithstanding its late appearance before the English public, its Swedish scenery and manners have nearly as much novelty as THE NEIGHBOURS. The domestic economy and hard life of the poor fishermen in the remote and sea-beaten villages along the Swedish coast, the little shopkeepers or merchants, the wreckers, smugglers, and custom-house officers, with the miscellaneous persons that fill up the interstices of these classes, are all painted to the life, as well as the 'interiors,' and the few forms of landscape around them."-SPECTATOR.

JAMES'S CHRONICLE.

By F. C. DAHLMANN, late Professor of History at the University of Göttingen. Translated from the German, by H. EVANS LLOYD. 8vo. 10s. 6d. cloth.

"Professor Dahlmann's book is, in short, a rapid sketch of the whole of what we call the Modern History of England, from its start at the Coronation of Henry the Seventh, to its intermediate settlement at the Coronation of William the Third. We have no English summary of the history it relates, so brief, compendious, and impartial M. Dallmann is a very earnest as well as intelligent writer; and the steady advance of the popular principle in England, through an almost uninterrupted march of two centuries, is startlingly reflected in his clear and transparent relation. Mr. Lloyd's translation is very well executed."-EXAMINER.

DE CUSTINE.-RUSSIA.

By the MARQUIS DE CUSTINE. Translated from the French. 2d Edition, 3 vols. post 8vo. 31s 6d. cloth.

"We are inclined to think-and it is a painful reflection-that Mons. De Custine's remarkable volumes contain a more accurate account of the state and condition of Russia than any other work of recent date, without exception. The author has manifestly penetrated through that superficial glitter and gorgeous array which have blinded the eyes of too many travellers to the imperfections and defects of this great empire, and has shewn it as it really is. To do this in the case of Russia requires many and favourable opportunities of observation, considerable shrewdness, and a courage and determination not easily to be daunted; all which Mons. De Custíne has proved himself to have possessed in an eminent degree; and the result is, a work which those who are desirous to know Russia as it really is, and not as it would fain impose itself on the world to be, would do well to consult. W promise our readers equal surprise and pleasure from the perusal of his very clever book."-GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE.

In a private letter from Mrs. Southey, dated February 27, 1843, she not only states the fact, but adds that the greater part of a sixth volume had gone through the press, and that Southey looked forward to the pleasure of drawing her into it as a contributor; giving her full authority to affirm that her husband is the author."-ROBERT BELL, Esq. in THE STORY TELLER.

"The labour bestowed upon this important work has seldom, we should suppose, been equalled; and we have the fullest conviction, from the merely cursory examination we are able to give to such a stupendous task, that the result justifies all the labour, time, and money expended upon it. Indeed, the whole book bears the most palpable evidence of honest carefulness and unwearied diligence (the points of prime worth in a Concordance); and wherever we have dipped into its pages (about 1800), we have, in every case, had our opinion of its neatness, accuracy, and lucid order, confirmed and increased."-LITERARY GAZETTE.

FIELD. POSTHUMOUS EXTRACTS FROM THE

VETERINARY RECORDS OF THE LATE JOHN FIELD.
WILLIAM FIELD, Veterinary Surgeon, London. 8vo. 8s. boards.

"A collection of remarkable cases of disease in the horse, observed by the late Mr. Field, during his extensivs practice; with a few papers on particular diseases, either read before the Veterinary Medical Society, or, seemingly, sketched with that end in view. To pass a decided judgment on the veterinary value of the volume is beyond our power; but the cases appear to be noted with great clearness in their symptoms, treatment, and post-mortem examination. We should conceive the work likely to be of considerable use to veterinary surgeons,-who, lucky people, do not as yet appear overburdened with books on their business; and not without interest to the medical practitioner, who would study comparative surgery, as well as comparative anatomy."-SPECTATOR.

The nature of this correspondence is domestic, though often interspersed with remarks on the books she was reading, or sketches of the persons she had met. There are also very many passages of a biographical character; but the great bulk of the book is private and personal-letters of compliment and condolence, the effusions of friendship or piety, accounts of her domestic affairs, or sketches of the persons, often great names in literature and life, both of London and Edinburgh, whom she had met in society, both readable and attractive."-SPECTATOR.
