LITERARY NOTICE,

A FRAGMENT of the HISTORY of JOHN BULL, with
incidental Remarks upon ancient and modern Radicalism,
in three Parts. Printed at Durham, by F. Humble and
Co. for HATCLIAUD and Son, Piccadilly, London, Bvo.

We have much pleasure in recommending to
our readers. these tracts, which contain an in-
genious and interesting expose of the progress of
infidel and anti-patriotic feeling in this country
during the last thirty years. They are written
with spirit and huinour, but with liberality and
candour, as they are entirely free from the ma-
lignity of party feeling. They describe with
great effect the contemptible and ludicrous situa-
tions to which those persons expose themselves
who become the dupes of what are falsely term-
ed free sentiments, and who have abandoned that
respect for moral and religious obligation, which
is so essential to the happittesaof individuals and
the well-being of society. The sentiments and
principles which the author wishes to inculcate,
are conveyed through the medium of a fable, which
is well conducted, and in which Jour( BULL sus-
tains his old part of an honest, open-hearted
man, ever ready to do a kind and generous act,
even at the risk of personal danger. The
progress of freethinking, religious and po-
litical, is pourtrayed in the history of JOIIN
BULL'S younger son, JACK RADICAL, who
is adorned with all those mischievous and wicked
propensities, which have ever marked the cha-
racter of the demagogue, both in ancient and
modern times. JACK'S extravagancies and way-.
wark disposition•lead him into a variety of whim-.
sical, but more frequently perilous, difficulties„
which strongly tend to impress upon the mind of,
the reader, that it is far better, like honest JOHN
BULL, " at all adventures- to keep still to the
good old way, and the straight paths not doubt-
ing but that it will eventually lead to the only
haven of security and peace."
We are sorry that our limits pfetent our tire-
senting our readers- with any extracts from these
excellent little tracts] but we strongly recommend
them to their perusal, convin-Ced:that,they will
afford much amusement, and that we..cannot do
a more acceptable service to the good cause than
by promotings as much as it is in :otir power, the
circulation of tracts inculcating in such a pleasing
and effective Muntier the good old principles
which gitided the conduct of onr.forefathers, and
so much contribUted to engender that 'PUBLIC
SPIRIT for which they were..farrted,;..and 'which
we are convinced conduces more to the Satisfac-
tion and prosperity of individuals, than the sel-
fish and narrow-minded feelings which too much
distinguish the present day.
