subjects are Alamode , Boots ( French and English ) , Chimpanzee , Dining out ( all hot ) , Equality , Fashion , Going , Holidays , Isaac and John , Kitchen Stuff ( and a rarely stuffed kitchen it is ) , Latitude and Loneritude , Monkeys , Nierhtmare ( a new
version of it , and a very impressive one ) , Orpheus , Pretty Poll , Quadrille , ( some proper partners ) , Racing ( in sacks ) , Singing , Tantalizing , Verj ^ Unpleasant ( not unlikely to be more so ) , Waistcoat ( there are only seven in it ) , Xantippe , Yawning , and Zoophytes ( a delicious specimen of the roastp ig-plant ) . " Going , " is pathetic . The polite old gentleman
has been already kept up hours beyond his time ; and yet there he stands , so patiently , in the draft of the door , the candle dropping on his fingee ? , trying to make up a face of attention , wnile the inexorable visitor , great-coated to the chin , umbrella'd , and half gloved , is only just launched in his " story without an end , " and looking so determinate and comfortable that you feel there is no help nor hope . He is only a going . He will never be gone .
Findens Illustrations of Lord Byron s Life and Works . This beautiful publication is too well known for any further notice than to inform our readers of the cheap rate at which it may now be purchased . Each part contains three engravings and eight pages of letter press , for one shilling and sixpence . It is to be completed in forty-two numbers .
Cherville s First Step to French . The object of this work is ' to present a comprehensive view of the French language , by means of connected examples , easy to be recollected by the pupil . ' So far the plan is good , but we suggest that it might be well to enlarge upon it , and to make the pupil find examples after the model given . Although there are many valuable observations and rules contained in the book ,
and the examples are ' connected , so as to give a tolerably c comprehensive view of the language , ' still the work is only what it professes to be , viz ., * a first step / and does not supersede the necessity of using other grammars . It were to be wished , that elementary books were oftener on the rational plan of this .
A teacher could scarcely fail , who should follow the method which M . de Cherville states to be his practice ; the chief excellencies of which are the exercise of double translation , and the combining of writing with reading and learning by rote .
