POPULAR NEW WORKS.
Ithadbeen our intention to notice separately the

-Putpose--we shall now, therefore, glance at the
(1 or, ,e important of them. The literature of the
4i41 mot lately assumed a character of more than or-
thenarY consequence and value. The publication of
a Earl of Orford's (Horace Walpole) Corre-
INence with Sir Horace Mann is an important
l'"lry event. The letters were prepared for the
tltai els with illustrative notes by the noble author
i 'elf; but he expressly forbade their publication
;c a certain -period after his death; and as that

has now arrived, they have been released from

Valdegrave, wherein they were imprisoned, and
given to the world under the editorship of (we
Ittleie to say the late) Lord Dover, who has him-
leif Riven additional value to this work by prefixing
4e91100s Memoir of Walpole, and numerous notes.

Ilia book is certainly full of curious and entertaining
Matter. Among its varied contents, we more par-
ticularly point attention to the following :---London
Dinner—The Drawing-room—A Ball—An
Evening at Vauxhall—Marriage—English Women
----Horse Racing—English Mob—Steeple Chase--
I,IQ Sports—Visit to Abbotsford—Sporting in
the Highlands—Melton Mowbray, &c. The Nar-
rative of his Residence at the Court of London, by
'll% Rush, Plenipotentiary from the United States
1i America, is interesting to every Englishman.
3Nothing can be more vivid and pleasant than the
ialr"al sketches with which this work abounds ;
the these are the more agreq'tble, as coming from
Qua!en of a foreign visiter to our Court. The
tal —et.% and Edinburgh Reviews, as well as the
!filed Foreign Quarterly, have each devoted con-
a
eirabie space to this entertaining work. " The
and Correspondence of Mrs. Inchbald" is, per-
Ps, one of the most amusing pieces of biography
ever printed. It is especially a work in which the
ladies es will take interest. Independently of the
lir character of Mrs. Inchbald's genius as a nove-
list and a dramatist, a certain celebrity is thrown
around her I y the number of those public characters
whom
captivatedfre had by her wit and beauty, and
o .n
na whom she had offers of marriage.
