ASIATIC JOURNAL.

The two best articles in the current number are an
essay on " Oriental Translation," and a Georgian ro-
mance entitled " Miriluli," which we see, is to be
continued—a great pity, for who reads continuations ?
The remaining contributions are neither better nor
worse than the usual run of periodical papers.

THE NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF
SCOTLAND. No. XII.
Blackwood, Edinburgh ; Cadell, London.

Besides a beautifully coloured map of Ross and
and Cromartyshires, this Part of a work, deserving of
the highest praise and most extensive patronage, con-
tains a topographical, statistical, natural and histori-
cal account of the parishes of Cromarty, Nigg, Kirk-
michael, and Cullicudden, Logie Easter, Kilmuir
Wester and Suddy, Killearnan, Lochbroom, Gair-
'loch, Applecross, Lochcarron, Island of Lewis, Storna-
way, Barvas, Uig, Lochs, Kintail, Glensheil, Fairn,
Lunan, Achirlot, Glamiss, Carmylie, and Zealing.
It will ever reflect the highest credit upon the intelli-
gence, the industry, and the love of country, which
so pre-eminently distinguish the parochial clergy
of Scotland. Well may North Britain rejoice in the
possession of such a priesthood.

THE ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE.
Longman and Co.
An admirable summary of the progress of architec-
ture in Britain during the past year, with notices of
its present state in Foreign countries, from the pen of
Mr. Loudon, forms the first article in this scientifically
conducted Periodical. There is no class readers that
may not peruse it with advantage. The other articles
are of a more purely professional character. To archi-
tects such a work as this must be of the greatest pos-
sible advantage.

THE ARBORETUM BRITANNICUM.
NO. XXX.
Ridgway and Sons.
This excellent work will be completed in two more
Numbers. When finished it will certainly form one
of the most instructive of the kind. It will contain
above three hundred plates of trees, on coloured paper,
and two thousand beautifully finished woodcuts, mar-
ginally intersected and arranged. We can confidently
state that the " Arboretum Britannicum' will obtain a
place among the best works that have yet appeared on
the science of Arboriculture.

TH

QUARTERLYE JOURNAL OF AGRI-
CULTURE.
Blackwood, Edinburgh ; Cadell, London.
The biographical memoir of the late Right Hon.
Sir John Sinclair is concluded in this Number. We
think so highly of it that we recommend its re-publica-
tion in a separate form. The author has sought to do
justice to the memory of a benefactor of the human
race ; and we feel grateful to him for the way in
which he has accomplished what to him must have
been indeed a labour of love. The " Agricultural
Quarterly," for December, contains eleven articles of

more or less interest to farmers and landed proprietors.
A retrospect of the British and Foreign corn trade
during the half year just ended, by Mr. Grey Fearn-
side, of Mark-lane ; Mr. C. S. Lefevre, M.P.'s letter
to his constituents on the present state of agrscuiturc ;
and Mr. Towers' able article on Horticulture, are all
productions as good as the subjects of which they treat
will admit. We are pleased to find in this work the
same care in the getting up, and selection of the arti-
cles, which marked the outset of its career. The agri-
culturists of Great Britain and Ireland canna pro-
vide themselves with a more excellent guide.

THE EVANGELICAL REGISTER.
Painter.

This Number is embellished with a rather handsome
engraving of the interior of Orange-street Chapel,
Leicester-square, taken during the time of divine ser-
vice. As its contents are all of a sacred nature, we
shall not offer any opinion upon them.
