OPINIONS OF LORD BROUGIIAM.-The work
just published under this title is certainly one of the most cu-
rious and interesting publications of the day. In this volume
we have a political history of the last thirty years, in addition
to Lord Brougham's practical views of all the great questions
connected with Politics, Law, Theology, Science, and Ge-
neral Literature, which now agitate the learned world.
We also find sketches of Wellington, Lyndhurst, Peel, Can-
ning, Grattan, Hume, Warburton, Canterbury, Eldon, &c. In
union with the above, the work embraces his Lordship's Opi-
nions •f the Americans and their literature, and a splendid cri-
ticism of the great (-Rawls of antiquity.
CAPTAIN MARRYAT.—The admirers of the au-
thor of " Peter Simple" and " Jacob Faithful"—the " Modern
Smollett" as he has been termed—will be glad to hear that a
new work from his pen is announced to be published about the
end of the present month.- The work is of a somewhat similar
description to those which have already earned so widely-ex-
tended a fame for the gallant author. It is a sea-story of the
time of William the Third, and abounds with striking illustra-
tion of the manners and character of the sailors of that remark-
able period,
