Finderis Ports and Harbours * This is a beautiful publication ; the designs are effective and the execution very fine . We are particularly struck with the grandeur of Ty » emouth Castle , and the stormy gloom of Cullercoats , in Part I ; and with
the brightness , force , and nature , of Bamborough and Newcastle-upon-Tyne . Indeed of all the engravings contained in Part II ., we have seldom seen any plates that surpass the one of Neweastle-upon-Tyne for clear , vivid truth , and distinct , though crowded beauty of design . It is worth the price of the whole Part ; the work , however , is singularly cheap- ** - too cheap , we fear , for the good of the Fine Arts .

Of one thing we are sure , that the respectable name of Dr Uwins must ensure respectful treatment of a theory to which he extends his favour ; even though his support be of a very modified character , so that he is rather a &emi-ho * mafr opathist than one who goes the full length of the orthodoxy , or
heresy , of the theory . The fact is quite enough to make us suspect that there must be something in it . But we can do little more in aid of the enquiry than recommend to our readers this production of a cautious reasoner and experienced practitioner .
