The Sun.

as a being full of terrors to the frail children of dust,
and heirs of sorrow and suffering, we could never un-
derstand. But whatever may be the cause, the cowe-
quences are too often such as the writer has described
them. The " Memorials of Courtcnav Seymour" is a
powerful sketch, with here and there touches of the
deepest pathos. Captain Marryat's defence of his own
conduct in the recent dispute between himself and the
Messrs. Neale occupies several pages ; but the transac-
tion, whatever may have occasioned it, is nothing to us,
nor, we believe, to the majority of our readers. It
speaks little for the discretion of authors when they
stiffer their names to appear before the world in police-
office reports.

SPORTING MA GA Z INE.—Pittntan,Warwick-square.

There arc not less than four engravings in this
number, not one of which but is executed in a superior
manner. The cottager's wife suckling the young foxes
at the breast, which forms the subject of one of the
illustrations, is rather a curious than agreeable spec-
tacle. It seems however, though we can scarcely credit
it, to have been an actual occurrence, and which took
place not many years since. Wild Duck shooting is
admirably engraved, and the little bit of sylvan land-
scape in the back around, with the white turret of a
village church gleaming through the trees, has a very
picturesque effect. The literary department is well
varied and selected, none of the articles sinning in point
of length. They may be al.l read at. " a heat." The
most interesting papers are the letters from the West
by a gentleman who signs himself Juan. •

THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF AGRI-
CULTURE.
Bfaclocood, Edinburgh ; CacLII, London.

This is truly a very valuable publication, and, we
are assured, has been productive of tlle greatest good
in the agricultural districts of Scotland. It is an.on-
couraging spectacle to see the labours of the best in-
formed minds thus directed to the improve:nent of the
soil, and the instruments of husbandry, and, as a natura
consequence, increasing the food and raiment intended
19r the necessary support of human beings. The pre-

sent ;71411)er contains two valuable articles on the

Culture of the f
~ ; and a still better one on the
_ p(ARM
_Property and Small Farms in
Management of Landl,ll
Ireland. No large agriculturist' ought to make this
work a text-book.

THE ANALY ST—Simpkin and Marshall.
A little too heavy ; but, on the whole, an improv-
ng periodical. The criticisms on Art and the literary
[otices would do credit to the first magazine of the day.

THE ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE.
Longman and Co.

This number contains an ingenious article " On the
Origin and Progress of Heating Buildings by the cir-
culation of Hot Water ;" together with SOITY2, curious
retrospective criticisms. It is conducted by Mr. Lou-
don, with all the ability and talent for which he is dis-
tinguished. The lovers of science will find it a very
clever and very useful little work.

AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GEOGRAPHY,
Part X.—Longman and Co.
It would be quite superfluous to say a word of the
merits of a publication, which is now confessedly un-
rivalled both for cheapness and utility. Two more
parts will complete the work.
