We should think so . What sized cage would be proportioned to the author ' s natural livacityl « In the account of each bird I ihfifl point out what shaped cage I have found most suitable / So he does , but it does not accord with our experience . For most kinds , the best shaped cage is one open at the sides , except a few tree tops , aflat or undulating green bottom , a blue curved roof , or darker coloured with bright
spangles for nightingales , which may be changed for a large spirit lamp for larks . The same cage does for both species , or any others . There is nothing like it , and it may be had , gratis , of the maker . Although unable to get over the primary abomination of bird-fancying , we cannot but be interested in the many curious details of this book ; and while we would have no more catching , we must say that great advantage would accrue to ail which are already caught , from Dr . Bechstein's directions about food and general treatment .

C&iOper ' s Life and Works . Edited by the Rev . T . S . Grimshawe . Vols . 1 and 2 . Saunders and Otley . This is one of two rival editions of Cowper , and the first in the field . To the readers whose religious opinions coincide with those of the poet ' s , it will be decidedly the most acceptable . The * Life / by Hayley , \ % republished as revised by the editor , who has also incorporated with it the ' Private Correspondence / collected by Dr . Johnson , an advantage peculiar to this edition . The recommendation of the other edition will be
m the memoir by Southey . To the general reader that will undoubtedly be a strong recommendation . But those who included Cowper ' s theology'in their admiration , will not think Southey a much more fitting biographer than Hayley ; and their objections to the work of the latter will be removed by the alterations and additions of the present editor , who is favourably known as the author of the * Life of Legh Richmond . ' The
completion of the * Correspondence * will be welcome to every body . The volumes are well got up , and adorned with beautiful illustrations by the Findens , from Harding s drawings . The first has a view of the village of Berkhampstead , the native place of Cowper , and a vignette of the house in which he was born ; and the frontispiece of the second is his house at Westoto , with a vignette of Olney .

Dr . Charming 8 Political Writings . The Essays on Napoleon / ' the Discourses on War , ' and on * Honour all Men , the ' Election Sermon / with some extracts on * Obedience to Government / the Freedom of the Press , ' &c . 8 cc , are here reprinted in la very portable and cheap form . It is observed in the preface that ' a
number of observations , scattered through tbe « e essays , on the characters of military men , and their fitness for the offices of legislators or rulers , are not inappropriate at the present time / Some of that peculiar appropriateness has happily vanished since , but there is an appropriateness in the sentiments or such a writer as Dr . Channing , which is as enduring as human nature and civil society .
