his consistency , while they ever greet his pride with equal hauteur , would grieve over the mortification to which he must be inevitably subjected , in a fruitless resistance to the will of that people on whom he has more than once vented his patrician scorn . Whig and Tory aristocracy are alike extinguished , as to all future power , or influence , in the destinies of this mighty nation . '—pp . 33-34 .

Calabria , during a Military Residence of Three Years . By a General Officer of the French Army . Wilson . 1832 . The letters of which this volume consists , and which are now first published from the originals , were written to the author ' s father , between October 1807 and November 1810 . They abound in graphic descriptions of the face of the country , the manners of the inhabitants , the exploits of tjie banditti by whom it is infested , and the military operations of which it was at that time the scene . They are very amusing and interesting , besides being valuable for presenting authentic information about a region which is justly termed * the terra incognita of Italy /

SCHOOL BOOKS .
1 . A Scripture Catechism for the Elder Classes of Sunday School * By a Bible Christian . Birmingham . 2 . An Introduction to Goldsmith s Grammar of Geography . By J . Dowling . Longman . 3 . Ince ' s Outline of General Knowledge ; or , School Essentials , Gilbert . The first of these is the best thing of the kind that we have seen . It is really Scriptural . And although it was impossible altogether to avoid the obvious evil of the plan ; viz ., that in making texts answer questions , the questions lead the child to affix to the texts the compiler ' s interpretation , yet we have never seen a smaller number of doubtful interpretations inculcated by a Scripture Catechism . For the sake of those who adopt this mode of instruction , there should have been the name of a London Bookseller to the Catechism . No . 2 . is designed for very young pupils in Geography , and is very well adapted to its object . No . 3 . Mr . Ince ' s Outline of General Knowledge deserves our warm praise and recommendation . It is a capital shilling ' s worth for boy or girl , full of instruction and amusement . It is a book to make little folks relish , and learn how to use , other books . The Historical , Geographical , and Miscellaneous Selections of Facts are all excellent ; and , what is more uncommon , they are all interesting .
