There is a note for T . W . at our publisher ' s . Will T . oblige us by an answer to a proposition urith which we troubled him ? The other correspondent is favourably disposed . We must decline H . S . R . and Tyro . Thanks to our friend for the Luc It cock medal , that appropriate and most honourable testimony of the estimation in which one of the benefactors of his kind is held by those who have the best opportunity for appreciating his worth and usefulness . How glorious the inscriptions are ! * 1 , 364 pupils in the schools ; 150 gratuitous teachers ; 14 , 500 pupils in the town . * Birmingham against Waterloo , we say . It is infinitely the noblest medal of the two . And that intelligent , firm , beneficent head , ' gives the world assurance of a man ; ' and that is something more than a great captain . Honour to ' James Luckcock , Father of Sunday School Instruction in Birmingham , * and may the ' Jubilee * of ' Sept . 14 , 1831 / be a long and heartfelt remembrance .

( 8 . ) Designed for young persons , and illustrated with some very good wood engravings . In spirit , design , and execution this is a companion for Mr , Lamb ' s ' Shakspeare Tales / Although the style be very simple and perfectly intelligible , it still retains the original flavour . It is a good taste for the young , who must , we think , have their thirst excited for copious draughts from the ' well of English undenled * by this prelibation . ( 9 . ) Exactly thirteen years ago , when the continent had been but a few years open to the annual influx from England , of those who travel either to refresh themselves after the toils of business , or because they have no business to toil at , we , who belong to the former class , visited the lovely and majestic scenery delineated in these sketches ; and we have often wondered since , that so few persons among the crowds of pleasure hunters have diverged from the beaten track of the Rhine , Switzerland , and Italy ; to visit a region equally accessible , and quite equally worthy to be sought . Of late years we have reason to believe , that the scenery of the Pyrenees has been treated with less negligence , and that our tourists having grown familiar with the more celebrated regions to which they at first flocked , are resorting in considerable numbers to this comparatively untrodden soil . The beautiful sketches which we have now the pleasure of noticing , and which , we understand , are the production of a lady , will , we think , send many visitants to these glorious mountains , in whom the desire was not yet awakened , and will be a beautiful and interesting ornament of a drawing-room table for the still larger class who remain at home .
