Gems from American Poets . If these be the gems of American poetry , not much can be said of its substance . Some small pieces of Pierpont and Willis have beauty and grace in them , and the " Pilgrim Fathers , " of the former is a noble hymn of commemoration . But descriptive verse , and mere sentiment , soon become tiresome ; and these form the staple of the specimens here presented , and we apprehend of American poetry generally , so far as the article has yet become one of native manufacture . The era of Transatlantic poetry has not yet dawned .
Study of English Poetry . —By A . Spiers . Thb Compiler of this volume is an English Professor of eminence in Paris ; his selection is chronologcially arranged , and consists of a succession of the finest specimens of English poetry from the thirteenth century . It is , in fact , the outline of a nistory of our poetry , and formed with taste and skill . The Introduction contains many judicious remarks . The Editor has been so careful to make his compilation very admissible into families , that he has put the word " kiss , " and some other not very offensive terms , into his Index Expurgatorius , which is not printed at the end of the volume , as is sometimes done in pure editions of the classics for the use of youth .

We have authority to state , that it is in contemplation to publish very shortly the Posthumous WoTks of the late William Godwin , including an Autobiography , Correspondence , &c . The whole edited , at Mr . Godwin ' s express desire , by his daughter Mrs . Shelley . Our remarks concerning him are therefore postponed . To the author of the valuable Essay on ' The Signs of the Times / which appeared in our April number , we owe some apology for a partial inaccuracy in printing his signature .
We request Mr . —— will not trouble us with any more of his trash y publications , an we never notice ' the class * to which he and they belong . The author of the drama of Ceracchi , and the Oxford Story , has : our be $ t thanks . We cannot avail ourselves of the former , chiefly on ¦ cCoant of its length ; nor of the latter , unless he will correct what wa think to be out of drawing' in the principal character .
