'LITERARY NOTICE.

AI RIDGED HISTORY of the BIBLE; in Verse. By

Mn. Rici*kitDsox.

In these days of licentiousness, it must be gra-
tifying to every friend to our 'Establishment in
Church and State to find that -the supporters of
our HoLY •FAITU are'not limited to thaClergy,
but that conscientious•persons of both sexes arc
duly impresSed with the awful truths of Religion,
and anxious to diffuse its blessings for the benefit
of mankind, here and hereafter. The Work
before us is well calculated to excite the atten-
tion of young persons, and to afford them a com-
prehensive view of SACRED HlsrottY. There are
many parts of THE Bint.i: which should not be
presented 'to the youthful mind, and these are
properly omitted in the present Work. The
versification is easy, smooth, and wholly exempt
from alt -tropes, figures, and the affectation
of poetical exuberance. It is evidently the
design of the author to give a 'plain narra-
tive, 'to introduce the most interesting and im-
portant events recounted in the Sacred Vo-
Itune, and 'to convey them in such a form as shall
find an easy entrance into the mind, and impress
them strongly on the memory. We are glad to
find that the work has reached to the NINTII
Number, a -proof that tine author has sufficient
encouragement to proceed in her: meritorious
task. It is to be concluded in. sixteen numbers,
and when the whole is complete, we advise !lei- to
reduce it from the present quarto size to that of
octavo, as it will then form a convenient Scnoor.
Book, Which we may confidently recommend to
to the conductors of public seminaries, as well as
to-parents and guardians. Mrs. Riot ansoN, we
learn from the title-page, is the -nearest surviving
relation of the celebrated and truly estimable Dr.
IsAAc WAirr,l, and the widow of the late JOSEPU
RI CUARDSON, ESq., Barrister, M. P. a gentleman
Whose literary talents were justly admired, and
whose death was deeply lamented by ex-
tensive connections among the higher orders
of Society. We cannot close this article
more properly than by the following cita-
tion from the title-page, the objects of
which, as far as the work has proceeded, are
'satisfactorily accomplished. " This attempt has
been made with a View, especially, to the CoNvi-
NI ENCE or Fammtus, by forming, as a Book of
Itceenexcc, a clear and regularly connected out-
line of till the incidents and occurrences recorded
in the HOLY SCRIPTURE, omitting all unneces
sary- description, or detail, and thrown into.
VERSE, that being, according to the opinions,
both of the above-named Divine (Dr. WATTS)
and Dr. S.tmutt. ionssoig, a more facile vehicle
for the memory than prose." We shall merely
add our hope that the Author will keep the
copy..right in her own possession, for if the
work meets with the encouragement which it de-
serves it will probably yield a permanent provi-
sion for-herself and her family,. • •

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have received, at a late hour thi forvnooni
Paris Yapers of Wednesday and Tuesday
last. Tl.'e intelligence brought by them
highly important, inasmuch as it proves that
the French had only taken, as we con-
jecture, ow of the forts known under the
general name of the Trocadero, and that even
that was so vailantly defended that the Spa-
nish cannotriorc died on their guns ! The• 1«als
of the French, particularly of the Duke
of ANGOULEMV, and of a General who " lost
one of his boat in the assault," are detailed
with most disgusting pomposity. We sal
nothing of the inconsistency with which it
is alleged that the Constitutionalists would
neither " retreat nor rally," although immedi'
ately afterwards we are told that they were
pursued to the village of the Tracelien), where
