LITERARY NOTICE.

EASTER; or a MANUAL explanatory of the Latin Words
and Phrases, and other appropriate Terms of the CHURCH
SERVICE in the BOOK of COMMON PRAYER; with
some account of the Days and Seasons therein appointed to

be observed.—By a LAYMAI.C.
We regret that we have not had an earlier op-
portunity of noticing this useful, interesting, and
valuable Tract. The work is composed in the
form of DIALOGUES between a PARISHIONER and
the CLERGYMAN. It consists of Three Parts.
In the First all the terms, the meaning of which
is•likely to be unknown to the ordinary Reader,
are, though briefly, yet clearly explained, through
the Morning and Evening Prayers. In the Second
Part the same mode is pursued. as to the Creed of
St. Athanasius, the Litany, Ember Weeks, -Col-
lects, Epistles, Gospels,. Evangelists, the Lord's
Day, the Sabbath, Holy Days,. Saints' Days, to
Church on Sunday, Vigils, Advent, Christmas, St.
Stephen's Day, St. John the Evangelist's Day, the
Innocents' Day, &c. The Third Part proceeds
upon the same plan, and the whole of the terms
with all the Rites and Ordinances to which they
relate, are fully and distinctly explained. In
this part there is also a brief account of the
Saints whose memory is consecrated oby particu-
lar days, as well as of the causes and occasions
on which the several holidays were founded.. The
questions from the Parishioner are such as might
be supposed to 'come from an- uninformed indi-
Vidual, seriously anxious to discharge his religious
duties, and the answers from the Clergyman are
given with- clearness and simplicity; In fact this
work is, indeed, such a COMPANION to the Book
of COMMON .PRAYER as should be in the hands
of all frequenters of the Church, and in all public
and private schools throughout the Empire, and
wherever the Christian Religion prevails.—We
have reason to believe that this tract was written,
as declared, by a LAYMAN, and, if we are right in
our conjecture by a gentleman who is wholly
incapable of deception of any kind, and to whom
the world is indebted for many works of a
very different description, all of which, how-
ever, are calculated- to p:oduce correct taste in
the FINE ARTS,as well as to promote the interests
of morality and religion. It is quite proper to
add, in order to chew that this work is published
with higher views than those of pecuniary profit,
that an edition has been printed in a cheaper
forma.t the rate of 9d. each,'or 7s. Gd. per dozen,
and never can the sincere Christian lay 'out his
money to greater advantage. We trust that many
persons, whose situation affords them the means,
will purchase- copies of this excellent. Manual of
Devotion, in order to circulate them among the
people in general, as' they may be productive of
the most beneficial effects upon the community
at large.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FdLSUM AUD,EAT

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1822

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Sunday, Ink!' which we give extracts in a pre-
ceding column. The concurrent accounts of.the
Greek victories in Thessaly, which we commu-
nicated yesterday, receive additional confirma-
tion from Belgrade, where letters had arrived on
the 14th ult. from Salonica, and from various
parts of Macedonia, reporting in similar terms
the total defeat of CROURSCHID PACIIA at Ther-
mopylae, with this difference, that CIIOURSCIIID,
who in the former statements was said•to have
effected his retreat to Larissa with 4,000 men,
is now declared to be a prisoner in the hands of
the Greeks.
With respect to [the Congress, it is asserted
that the conferences which were to precede its
opening have already taken pface at Vienna ;
and that the objects which are to form the topics
of discussion in the Congress have been deter-
mined at these conferences, at which were pre-
sent the Prince de METTERNICH (Austria), M.
