Art . III . —Ellen Cameron : a Tale for Youth . By Emily Elizabeth Rankin . Baldwin and Cradock .
1829 . There is a beauty in this little work which canuot fail of producing a powerful effect on readers , young and old . No common talent , no slight acquaintance with the hearts of the young , no little experience of life , are adequate to such a production as this ; and we should imagine that next to the privilege of
assisting to form the mind of an Ellen Cameron , raust rank the power of describing her with so much ability and grace . The interest of the story is of a far higher kind than can attend on a mere fiction . The truth which shines through it , and the principle which elevates it , constitute the value of this work , and enhance its charm .

VVHATfiVER be the meiats of this treatise , we are inclined to think it must rest upon its own basis , the change , made in Dr . Priestley ' s Grammar , and the additions which , in the present forms it has received , being such as to render it an essentially different publication . The chief resemblance to the work of Dr . Priestley is in that section which relates to verbs ; a subject which that author will be allowed to have treated with philosophical simplicity . We agree with the able author of the present Treatise
in the followmg observations - " It is confessedly an object of the highest importance to communicate to pupils accurate notions of the radical principles of any science or art . A knowledge of our native tougue is , however , in the first instance , necessarily acquired in an irregular aud imperfect manuer ; and to correct the errors arising from this source , is the grand purpose of grammatical instruction . Some experience in the art of tuition has
enabled the author of this introduction to perceive faults in the works of his predecessors , which detract greatly from their utility . *'—Pref . p . 14 . We think that this author , in rectifying their mistakes , and supplying their defects , has performed a task which will be beneficial to the rising generation .

Nothing else would have been needed to make us take up , with lively interest , the Memoirs and Correspondence of Thomas Jefferson . And there are fewmen , happily he is one of the few , the remainder of whose lives would bear to be looked at without a sensation of disappointment and regret . His mind , character , and history , are worthy of his illustrious destiny as the framer of that
ever-memorable document . It is only the most brilliant amongst a number of splendid services to the cause of freedom and humanity . The abolition of the law of primogeniture , the great curse of society ; the prohibition of the importation of slaves ; the legal establishment of
