Church and School ; a Dialogue in verse . By the Rev . James White , Vicar of Loxley , Warwickshire . Smith , Elder , and Co . This is a Moderate-Church satire on High-Churchism . It is by the author of the ' Village Poor-house ;* but seems to us to lack much of
the spirit of that publication . A dialogue on the effects of popular education upon the Establishment , between a Whig clergyman and a Tory clergyman , in rhymed ten-syllable verse , does not present a very promising bill of fare . Many nervous lines , and some powerful pictures , there must needs be from such a writer as his former poem had evinced him to be ; but we cannot help wishing his powers had been more efficiently employed .

Some Memoirs of the Life of John Roberts . A New Edition ; with an Epistle Dedicatory to the Public . By Wm . Howitt . Darton . John Roberts was one of the early Quakers , and possessed his full share of the zeal , courage , intelligence , simplicity , and purity , by which so many of tbe patriarchs and martyrs of that denomination were characterised . His adventures and colloquies are full of interest and entertainment . We hope the name of his present editor will make him
known far beyond the Society of Friends ; and that the letter of introduction to the public , now prefixed , will reach its destination , and be duly honoured . If the memoirs be worthy of the editing , the ' Epistle Dedicatory * is not less worthy of the composition , of William Howitt . It is plain , fearless , eloquent . Nor could the history of John Roberts be better prefaced than by this vigorous and truthful exposure of the mischiefs of that State-religion against which he bore his testimony , as should every friend of pure religion , and human freedom and happiness .

The Sacred Classics ; or , Cabinet Library of Divinity . Vol . 1 , Taylor ' s Liberty of Prophesying . Vol . 2 , Cave ' s Lives of the Apostles . 3 s . 6 d . each . The publishers claim for the works to be comprised in this series the pre-eminence of being ' the cheapest ever offered to the public * The
first two volumes support their claim well . The list of those which are to follow is creditable to the judgment and liberality of the conductors . Many works in the selection are such as any religious person , of whatever denomination , must desire to be possessed of ; and it will not , we apprehend , be possible elsewhere to procure them in a form at once so cheap , readable , handsome , and convenient . ^
