MAGAZINE OF HEALTH.

A taking title in a country, the majority of whose inha-
bitants, from November to April, are either dyspeptic or
hypochondriacal. The Editor tells us little on the subject
of fresh air and diet that we did not know before ; but as ho
puts forth his common-places in a kindly, unassuming- man-
ner, sedulously eschewing all dogmatism ; it is impossible to
speak cynically of him. One word, however, we may
whisper in his ear. He tells us to regulate our clothing by

----- -
the changes of the season. Now, however desirable ty s
may be, he should have borne in mind that it is totally im-
practicable. To dress according to the weathers, to dress
nearly half-a-dozen times a day ; for the cutting East-18.1nd
that pierces you through and through and shaves you as
clean as a razor this hour, may be followed, in the next, by a
warm, sunny zephyr, when even a coat is an incurnbrance,
and a neckcloth a decided bore.

THE PARTERRE.
A cheap, well-printed Miscellany, half origiaal, half s -
lected. With no disposition to speak unfavourably of I!,
we must say that.we like the selected, better than the ori-
ginal matter, with the exception, perhaps, of the Napoleon
anecdotes, scarce one of which but has gone the round of
the papers months since. The wood-cuts, in which the
Number abound, are by no means among its slightest re-
commendations.

NUMISMATIC JOURNAL.
This is the first number of a journal devoted to notices
of old coins and medals. The idea is an excellent one,
and, if followed up 'with spirit, may be the means of fur-
nishing us with a valuable mass of curious political informa-
tion. Many a doubtful point in the records of the olden
time has been cleared up ere now by the chance discovery
of a coin or medal. Addison made no trivial addition to
our historical stores by these means. The editor of the
present work is a gentleman named Akerman, who has
shown much, pains-taking in the present specimen.

THE EVANGELICAL MAGAZINE.
W. G. Painter.
We shall offer no opinion 'on the contents of this Magi.
zine, whose ostensible object is to promote the " spread of
the gospel"—an object to which we are as well disposedai
its conductors, for it is principally filled with reports of Eva..
gelical Meetings, and the reviews of works published►
Missionaries, and other members of the Evangelical Com-
munion.

THE ARBORETUIII BRITA.NNIC7I3I.
Ridgway.
The publishers of this excellent work spare no pains nor
expense likely to render it as perfect as possible. Ihe
coloured plates are exceedingly beautiful and very nutty e"
rous ; and the letter-press is worthy of its distinguished
author, Mr. J. C. Loudon, of whose fame as an architect,
a naturalist, a horticulturist, an arborist, and a florist, no
one at all acquainted with scientific gardening can be igno
rant. The Work has now reached No. XXI, and tte'
cording to the origikal prospectus, three additional Num"
hers will complete it. Arrangements have been made for
translating it into French, German, and Italian.

TEE ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE.
Longman and Co.
The most interesting article in this Number is on the
subject of the designs for the New Houses of Parliament.
There is also an article on the construction of skew arches
with designs, which we recommend to the notice of pile'
tical architects. The Architectural Magazine is conducted
by Mr. J. C. Louden.
