distinguish poippfroin prose , fable from history ; if another produced &nnal $ of different countries in order to compare dates and events , and find out how long the Grecian empire lasted , —the whole school would be in the way to understand what they were studying , to keep clear of mistakes , and to profit duly hy the contents of each portion of the volume . Many who had become tired of hearing particular parts read very often , would now find that there was much more in these
very parts than they had been aware of . Many who had found it a dull duty to spend half an hour a-day in reading this book , beginning anywhere as it might happen to open , would now enjoy hour after tiour of study ; comparing one part with another when they had a point to make out , finding some beautiful meaning in what had before been 9 , mere jumble of words , and perceiving the reasonableness of many instructions which had once appeared wrong or absurd/—pp . 100 , 103 .

The Four Gospels in Greek , for the Use of Schools . John Taylor , Upper Gower-street , 1832 . Griesbach ' s text is used in this edition , its variations from that of Mill beinff particularl y marked . There are copious references to
parallel passages , in which , by a simple notation , those which only serve for verbal illustration are distinguished from those which furnish narrative harmonies . We are much pleased with , and heartily recommend this work , which amply fulfils the desire of the editor to unite ? usefulness , cheapness , and beauty of execution . '

The Parents Cabinet of Amusement and Instruction ^ No . 1 , for October . Smith , Elder , and Co .
A sixpenny periodical , to be continued monthly , and which , so far as we can judge by this specimen , will deserve success . It should rather , we think , have been called the Child ' s Cabinet , as it is adapted for direct juvenile use , and requires neither explanation nor interposition pn the part of the parent . Its contents are to consist of familiar descriptions of the objects that daily surround children in the parlour , nursery , garden , &c . ; stories , original and translated ; biography ,
historical notices , travels , natural history , and * cheerful and pleasing rhymes / Moreover ' each number will contain matter suitable to two or three different ages ; ' and * it is particularly the wish of the conductors to excite the power of observation , and for that purpose those objects in natural history , which usually surround children in the garden or field , will be more particularly pointed out / Neat woodcuts are liberally interspersed ; and altogether this publication bids fair well to supply a want which has been much felt . The present number contains * Brave Bobby , ' ^ capital story of a dog ; * A Walk in the Garden
after a Shower ; and an easy versification of the fable ot the * Dispbedient Hedgehog . * We have on this , as occasionally before , with publications of a similar description , fortified our own judgment by sending the book for trial to a jury of juveniles , who have returned a favourable verdict .
