tiquities from authentic sources . The notes , also , are properly illustrations , and while there is nothing in them to offend any class of religionists , they bring within reach of all , the best helps for understanding the sacred volume . The care and spirit with which this work is got up deserves the highest
. The School of the Hearty and other Poems . By Henry Alford ; 2 vols . A very laudatory review in the Edinburgh , accompanied with several extracts of considerable beauty , raised our expectations high of this publication . We regret to say , that they have been high of this publication . We regret to say , that they have been
disappointed in the perusal . No other passages remain of equal beauty , with the exception of " the Ballad of Glastonbury ; " and the greater part of the volume consists of elegant , but often rather careless verse , chiefly on religious topics , in which devotional sentiment is the substitute for poetical inspiration . While falling short , however , of the latter , the composition generally rises in an equal degree above the very mediocre stanzas which constitute the mass of what is called
religious poetry . The Parliamentary Guide . By R . B . Mosse . Compilations of this kind are very abundant . The principal distinction of the one before us is , that , instead of more information than can be found in its predecessors , it bestows upon us much more of party impertinence than we have met with elsewhere .
Practical Afercantile Correspondence . By W . Anderson . A few months in a Counting -bouse are the best business Education , or rather the onl y one which can be efficient . We thought the days of " Complete Letter Writers" had been gone
by ; and least of all expected their revival for the purpose of qualifying schoolboys to conduct commercial correspondence . But while the larger portion of this volume appears to us to be waste , a few hints to young clerks at the outset are useful , and the exposition at the end of the German Chain rule is a
great benefit . We know not whether this rule be taught at all m schools ; it ought to supersede most of the Arithmetic that is taught . Three Lectures on tlie proper objects and methods of Education , in reference to the different orders of Society ; and on the relative utility of Classical Instruction . By James Pillans , M . A . F . R . S . E . Edinburgh , 1836 . 8 vo . pp . 67 .
This Pamphlet , like every thing- written by Mr . Pillans , is well worthy of being read ; for it is the result of great practical experience , combined with inuch knowledge aud good sense .
