Conversation * at the Work-table . By a Mother . A considerable variety of information a ls presented , in these Conversations , to the juvenile reader ; and in a manner calculated to amuse and interest . We would rather they had not been held at the 4 Work-table / and that the frontispiece , representing the imaginary parties , so sitting , and both as stiff as starch , had been away . It will not attract the young
eyes that should be drawn towards the book . Among the subjects are , intermingled with others of a more familiar character , submarine forests ; dress in the 16 th , 17 th , and 18 th centuries ; ancient customs ; the Arundelian marbles ; gipsies ; troubadours and minnesingers ; the mud volcanoes of Turbaco , &c . &c . ; and they are so talked over that the child may comprehend and learn , at the same time that many a mother may , as she uses the book , be herself receiving while she imparts in * at ruction .

A Few Observations on the Natural History of the Sperm Whale . By Thomas Beale . The term ' whale fishery seems associated with the coast of Greenland , or ice-bound Spitzbergen , and the stern magnificence of Arctic scenery ; few connect the pursuit of this " sea beast" with the smiling latitudes of the South Pacific , and the Coral Isianda of the Torrid Zone ; and fewer still have any more distinct conception of the object of this pursuit than
that it is a whale producing the substance called spermaceti , and the animal oil best adapted to the purpose of illumination . ' The author spent two years as a surgeon in this service , and has recorded his observations on the sperm whale in so aii&pifi and satisfactory a manner as to make them a very interesting chapter in natural history . His pamphlet also contains many , curious particulars of the devices and perils of the Southsea Fishery .
