Art . IV . — Catholic Emancipation , King's Coronation Oath , Form of Oath to be Administered to Catholics in Mr . Peel ' s Bill , considered ; or the Substance of a Conversation on these important Subjects , with a view of affording that Information which is so necensary at the present Period . By a Protestant Clergyman . London . W . Joy , St . Paul's Churchyard . 6 d .
The writer of this tract has succeeded in conveying useful information aud liberal sentiments , in relation to the subject which has so much engrossed , of late , the attentiou of the British public .

Remarks on the " Defence of Napoleon . ' To the Editor .
Sir , It was certainly with some surprise that I beheld iu the Repository an article entitled " A Defence of Napoleon , ' * aud I must add , that this surprise was increased to indignation when I also found that this " Defence of Napoleon' * involved an attack of a very violent and unjustifiable nature on one of the wisest , the greatest , and the best men of the present day , or I believe I might truly add , of any age .

who are not very similar , and yet whose differences are not such as to afford the interest produced by a judicious contrast of style . The passages selected contain nothing that is exceptionable ; much that is , in its spirit and tendency , excellent . They may safely be recommended to the attentive perusal of young persons , and perhaps adrautageously used , in connexion with family devotion , instead of full-length sermons .
