Gooch ' s Parliamentary Pledge-Book Coppoclc ' s Elector ' s Manual .
We put these two little books together because they are of the same description , namely , political guide-books , and both of them cheap and useful ones . Mr . Coppoek ' s analysis of the Reform Act is the most brief and intelligible that we have seen . It truly consists of * plain directions by which every man may know his own rights , and preserve them . ' It
is a most seasonable guide , for carelessness about registration has been a besetting sin with many reformers , while mistakes and difficulties have beset many more . Mr . Gooch ' s book is an excellent thing to have at hand while reading the debates . It is a record of promises which ought
not to be forgotten , as time brings the season , too seldom the reality , of performances . The ' pledges and declarations' of members are given
from their printed addresses , or speeches at the recent elections ; and a variety of personal and public information is added , including the first three great divisions , those on the Speakership , the Address , and the Malt Tax .

A Digest of the Laws and Regulations of the Wesley an Methodists . By S . Warren , LL .. D .
This book of law is very needful for all who live under it Those who do > not may derive some benefit from its perusal . Judge-made law is bad ; priest-made law is worse ; nor is the comparison materially affected by the priesthood being established or non-established . This book might have been entitled , ' The Art and Mystery of Sectarian Organization . ' An appendix , besides forms of trust deeds , &c . contains the case
of Mr . J . R . Stephens , who has been de facto expelled for co-operating with the meetings and societies of those who have petitioned fur the separation of Church and State . Methodism has nothing to do with politics ; but the notliing-to-do consists , not in leaving every individual member to follow the dictates of his own mind , but in restraining all whose
politics are in opposition to those of their leaders . Mr . Stephens was not only exposed to censure for the past , but required to give a distinct pledge for the future , of abstinence from all similar meetings and associations . He rightly interpreted this as an excommunication , and withdrew .
