      begun or discontinued at almost any page ; which is always sensible , and never startling 1 ; where truths come like pot-luck acquaintances , with their 4 old familiar faces' and in their old familiar clothes too , disturbing nobody by their egress or regress , and contradicting nobody while they stay . It is especially adapted for being read aloud to a circle of ladies round a work-table , and we recommend it for that purpose to all whom it may concern .

      The Reformer . By the Author of Massenburg , 3 vols . London , Wilson . We do not know who the Author of Massenburg is , unless it be Balaam the Soothsayer of Balak , who blessed when he meant to curse . Intending to magnify the aristocracy and malign reformers , the writer , who is evidently clever , has yet let in so much of reality as not to enthral our sympathies to his design . So be it ever with all Balaams .

      The Conversational Method of Teaching Languages ; or , the Systems of Hamilton and Jacotot Improved * By S . B . P . Q . London : Souter , 1832 . The chief improvement on the plans named in the title is , that the translations employed are not only strictly literal , but in the order of the foreign text . By such means the mind of the pupil may undoubtedly be more speedily familiarized with the idioms of the language he is

      learning * . He employs its conventional arrangement of words . The obvious risk to his English style is guarded against by first teaching in the maternal language what the pupil has to acquire in a foreign . The author has published * Elisabeth , ou lea Exiles de Sibe * rie' arranged for this method .

      Advice to Emigrants . By Thomas Dyke , Junior . Simpkin and Marshall .

      Hints on Emigration to Upper Canada . By Martin Doyle . Second Edition . Simpkin and Marshall . There is a great deal of useful information in the first of these little books , relative to the Canadas , New Brunswick , Nova Scotia , the TXnited States , New South Wales , Van Diemen ' s Land , the Swan River , and the Cape of Good Hope . The emigrant , in intention , will do well to consult it . The obvious bias of the compiler against the

      United States scarcely needs to be pointed out , in order to prevent the reader from being misled by it , and consequently having recourse to some more ' impartial guide' in reference to that country . The second is by a very superior hand , and is worthy of the honourable celebrity which the name of Martin Doyle has acquired , especially in Ireland . His style is as good as that of Cobbett , and his information is practical and complete . Several original letters from settlers in Canada are appended .
