The lady gives little hope as to the future of
Turkey. It may be questioned whether the tem-
porary occupation of the Allies has been very salu-
tary. Describing the appearance of the Sultana and
her ladies, Mrs. Hornby writer" We saw them well
seal. I asison7 to say, the disgraceful conduct of
the English and French officers obliged them to '
move on." But we must bid adieu to Mrs. Hornby.
Those who would learn more of her Oriental expe-
riences, who would kuow how she fared in the
Crimes, how bad were her servants, and how /rest
her iseoneeniencee, would do well to reed her lively
volumes. We may add that she must have had
good sources of information, as Mr. Hornby went
out m an important official capacity.
Mr. Edward Copping is a writer of more pveten-
slam. The centre of civilisation, if we are to believe
its citieene—st any rate, the beloved of flippant
fashion; the emporium of connoisseurs and milliners—
is his theme; and he writes with all the practised
smartness of thalamic lecturer. But few of the aspects
of Paris lib are here given. It is with difficulty Mr.
Copping smaages to fill some ten chapters of leaded
type. A great judge of leading articles was so-
ematceeed to exelthe, when one was brought not
quite up to the mark, " It wants more metal," and a
similaHr remark is applicable to Mr. Copping's book.

sad suicide ; and of the plays, Mr. Coning says,
" It is no exaggerated puritanical spirit which urges
me to sty that impure ingredients enter into the
componuon of nearly every dramatic piece which
hes obtained great saucer of late years upon the
Paris stage." The book is far from exhausting the
subject, but is evidently the work of one familiar
with the aspects of Paris he assumes to describe.
Mrs. Weitbrecht is se great a contrast to Mr.
Copping, as we can well imagine. She affects no
literary smartness, but writes out of the fulness of
a heart wrung with sorrow. In spite of the use of a
pus liar phraseology, Mrs. Weitbrecht gives an in-
teresting account—partly historical, partly from
personal recollections, partly from contemporary
eserespondenoe and publiestione—of the results of
missionary exertions in North India. With the
temporal &spts oof the recent mutiny—or with the
Impend effects—good or bad, of British rule—she
troubles herself but little. In the fact, boldly an.
nounoed, that Clod has given India to England to
evangelise, we have the keynote of her work. In
the terrible tragedies which have covered the land
with blood and filled England with horror, our
author, in common with the most far-sighted
mis-
siooaries sees Ood arising to vindicate His honour,
and she same up by demanding that for the future
Christianity must have fair play in India. As to the
menu Mrs. Weitbrecht does not trouble herself, and
et, true as is the feeling of the author, there are
wallies, as there are everywhere, where the State
...senoritas on Religion--she prevines of Caesar on
that of Ood. One very whim defect-- which will
deprive this book of mese ef its eilloiency—is the
peculiar table of contents: thee, in looking for Beneres
wefind "Assaults uponBataa'sstronghoWs." Instead
of a chapter on Chtmar, we have " Mereyrejoiciog
against judgment." " Buds and blossoms,* "Joy and
sorrow, are pretty phrases ; but how could we infer
merely from reading the table of contents that the
latter refers to the Orphan Asylum at Benaree, and
the former to a Free School ?
" The History and Antiquities of Roxburgbsbire"
is a careful performance, and very creditable to Mr.
Jeffrey, who has been at work on it upwards of five
and twenty years. Of course to people living in the
district the interest attaching to the work will be
great ; bat we are inclined to claim for local histories
a still greater value, when, as in the present ness,
they are well executed, and abound with details not
found elsewhere. White's "Natural History of W-
hom& " shows it is possible to make the most insig-
nificant village deeply interesting to the general
public ; and Dr. Whittaker's work on Manchester is,
in some quarters, Mill looked op toss an authority in
ethnology. But Mr. Jeffrey has this advantage—
that he writes of places the local history of which is
of general interest. The Cheviot Hills, Teviotdale,
Jedbnrgb, Kelso, Ihylsurgh, Melrose Abbey—are
they not all spots on which genius has conferred an
immortality ? As an additional recommendatioe it
should be added that the volumes abound with
appropriate illustrations.
