The Quarterly Review. No. CXCVIII.
The eight articles in the new number of th
Quarterly lieview, just published, may be very
eadily characterised. They are so obvious (each
,f them) in design, and so definite and 'restricted
(all of them, without exception), in bearing.
irst is literary, in relation to " Bacon's Essayik
the second historical, in regard to "French A
geria." The third ecclesiastical, in reference tat,
" Church Building." The fourth biographical, it
kllusion to " Montaigne." The fifth top,,graphi-
;al, in the matter of " Ancient Rome." The sixth
physiological, and at the same time physionomical,
a regard to the " Human Form." The .seventh
psychological, and in some sort controversial, in
relation to " The Nuns of Port Royal." The
eighth at once political and lachrymose, in reference
Lo what is here pathetically termed the " Declin-
ing Efficiency of Parliament." A rather formid-
Lble comparison might have been provoked by the
iubject-matter of the introductory paper, a COLl-
oarison of it, that is to say, with one of the most
splendid of the critical and biographical Essays
4f Mr. Macaulay (originally published like the rest
of that great writer's Essays in the pages of the
i+dinburgh), but that the review before us in the
Quarterly is avowedly one having relation merely
o a fractional part of the writings of the most
glorious of the Lord High Chancellors of England,
and one of the noblest of the world's philosophers.
.rchbishop Whately's annotated edition of "I3a-
..;on's Essays" is the recently completed reissue of
hose wise saws, epigramsand apophthegms, afford-
,no• to the writer a plea for his argument, a peg upon
vhich to hang up the gArland of his admiration.
Et is judiciously confessed by the reviewer that the
;reat philosophical essayist's intention in regard to
ekes' samesketches, namely, that of rendering them
as grains of salt, which should rather give an
appetite than offend with satiety," has been to the
tall attained. And, even more, it is added,
hat their author's confident anticipation
of their enduring fame and popularity has been
completely justified, the anticipation expressed by
dm when he avowed his belief that they would
" last as long as books and letters endured." The
t.rtic!e on " French Algeria " passes under review
he miscellaneous volumes of M. Burbrugger on
.iertain local " Roman Antiquities," of M. Renier
ipon certain local " Roman Inscriptions," of Dr.
Shaw in regard to his "Travels and Observations,"
at Mr. Sumner in reference to " White Slavery,"
of the Poet Campbell in the matter of his
" Letters from the South," of Herr' Rellstab
under the title of " Algier and Paris in Jahra,
830," of Lady Duff Gordon under that of " The

French in Algiers," of M. Poujoulat, of Dawson
Barrer, of General Dauwas, of J. Barbier, of Jules
9-er.ard (the " Lion Kiler"), and of the Count de
Jastellare—not forgetting the " Scientific Explora-
non " instituted in 1840, 1841, and 1842 by order
_ .

of Louis Philippe's Government, or a curious Latin

work, in nine books, delineative of Africa and
printed in 1509, or (by a very great deal the most
uteresting of all these illustrative volumes to us
englishmen) Mr. A. Salome's Narrative (published
•n 1819 at London) of the famous expedition to
Algiers made, gloriously and successfully made,
two years previously by the British Fleet, under
• he command of Admiral the Right Hon. the Lord
Viscount Exmouth. Due mention, is of course,
nada in this contribution, descriptive of French
Africa, of the numerous gallant Soldiers of
Gaul who have achieved a reputation for
hemselves at the point of their keen
iwords in the African conquests of the armies of
:he French Government. Bugeaud, who won a
Duke's coronet at Isly, and a Marshal's baton in
Kabylia—Bedeau, who was wounded iu the streets
of Paris in the year of 1848, two days before the
good Archbishop Denis Afire was infamously
assassinated Cavaignac, who for six months

governed France with the irresponsible power of
Dictator—Oudinot, who in 1849 besieged and
conquered Rome, then held by the " Reds" under
Alazzini and Garibaldi—Lamoriciere, who, in 1851,
upon the memorable 2d of December, was seized in
,is bed by the Pi:atorian Guards of the Prince
President, afterwards the Emperor Napoleon 111...
,hangarnier, wno suffered in the same ignomini-
)us manner the punishment due to a conspirator
—Baraguay d'Elilliers, who conducted 10,000 men
into the Baltic three yrars later, and gained
the highest prize within the reach of a soldier
of fortune, tne bauble-baton of an Imperial.
Niarshal, at Botnarsund Saint Arnaud,
who won his baton in the daring and triumphant
coup d'etat of Louis Napoleon, and who afterwards
lied the glorious death of a hero two nights
after the battle of the Alma, when to the
sound of the gun and the trumpet, the
great French Marshal was held upright in
his saddle (dying) by two of his dragoons,
-erenely directing the legions of Gaul upon the all-
-I)ut impregnable position occupied by the Russian
forces under Prince Menschikoff. Besides these
celebrated African generals three others hardly less
renowned—Canrobert, the preux chevalier of the
late sanguinary conflict in Crim Tartary—Bosquet,
the heroic leader of the indomitable corps of the

Zouaves—and lastly, the terrible Pelissier, noted-
first of all as the Arab-smoker, and secondly as the
Due de Malakhoff ! Marshals of the Empire under
Napoleon the Third all three of them, these last
mentioned—three of the most conspicuous Captains
not merely of France, but of Christendom. The
trticle on «Michel Monta,grie" rel Ates to the two
atest of his biographers M. Ginn, and Dr. rayon.
That on " Anciut Rome" has been suggested by
u' paper descriptive of " Roma," in Dr. William
Smith's inimitable " Classical Dictionary." The
rest of the contributions be it said are of average
ability, the most interesting of the number having
reference to the " Physiognomy of the Human
Form," chiefly in relation to the "Human Face
Divine."

Cookery for Servants of All Work. By Mrs. War-
ren. Groombeidge and Sons, Paternos..er-row.
Mrs. Warren has conferred a real benefit on the
class she professes to serve in this little volume.
Cookery books, on the average, are destitute of the
most important instructions to a noviciate in the
rt, viz., as io whether the fish, meat, or vegetable
under manipulation is to be put into hot or cold
water, and as to the time it requires kir proper
dressing. We have often observed that the greater
the pretensions of the gastronomic volume, the
more perplexing are the directions it contains ; and
we can only say that, with two or three guinea and
half-guinea volumes at hand on this important and
vital subject, we shall turn in preference to Mrs,.
Warren's cheap pamphlet whenever we are in
doubt as to the legitimate concoction of a custard
steak.pud
pudding, or the perfect treatment of a stewed
