LITERATtIRE.

GUY'S ET ON LATIN GRAMMAR.
London, 1834.

In undertaking a translation tit the tton
Latin Grammar, Mr. Guy has conferred a ser-
vice on the rising generation. He has made many
ttadititms to the book, not one of which but is
a very obvious improvement.

7'H LIFE OF A SOLDIER. 3 Vols.
London, 1834,

Without aspiring to the dignity of history,
this work gives one of the most spirited narra-
tives of the operations of the allied armies,
(especially of the British and Prussian) just
Previously to the decisive victory of Waterloo,
as well as of the subsequent occupation of
Paris by Blucher and the Duke of Wellington,
that we, have ever read. The author details these

/natters, not from hearsay, but from his own vivid
Personal recollections of them. He was himself
engaged at Waterloo, whence he marched with
his regiment on Paris, and was a shrewd ob-
server of all the internal heart-burnings and
jealousies, but of external rejoicings and con-
gratulations of which that city was full during
the memorable stay of the allied sovereigns there.
This portion of his military reminiscences, in
addition to its literal truth, possesses all the in-
terest of the wildest fiction. Banners stream,
•
trumpets sound, vast armies deploy before us ;
We are made spectators of all the " pride, pomp,
And circumstance of glorious war." It was an
eXtraordinary period, that of 1815—suds as
the world never saw before, and may possibly
never see again—when the. savage Cossack of
the Wolga, the chivalrous Hungarian hussar,
the Prussian martinet, and the British heroes
of the Peninsula and of Waterloo, met in
amity on the banks of the Seine, to celebrate
the breaking up of the most gigantic power that
the modern world has known. It is greatly to
the author's credit that this imposing scene
loses nothing in his hands. He writes up to
it, as one impressed with a befitting sense of its
Paramont- grandeur and novelty. The re-
kaining portion of his volumes is made up of
desultory accounts of his wanderings by sea and
land,' through almost every quarter of Europe.
-ks might be expected, they abound in anec-
dote, vivid description, and sketches of odd,
out-of-the-way characters. We subjoin the
author's description of the " Maid of Athens,"
On Whom the pen of Byron has conferred im-
mortality
" After the breaking out of the insurrection in
reeee, the Maid of Athens came to reside at Corfu.
)ti Was a slight, genteel figure ; her hair dark, and
tle
Halo, and
loosely over her shoulders ; her countenance
and particularly sweet and expressive ; but, alto-
; "ler, she was more interesting than beautiful. Her
Yes were large and dark • her nose Grecian ; and her
eapPeared to be about ;hirty years. On her arrival
Corfu, she became, of course, an object of much
wterest to the English, many of whom visited her
Ahose charms inspired Byron in the composition of his
10-Romaic stanzas. Her visiters were served with
cottee in small china cups and gold saucers. In her
promenades she was attended by her mother, who
dressed in a very antique style.
" On the same promenade might be seen a very
'2uspicuous personage, a Turkish female of enormous
"le: like her countrywomen, she wore heavy gold
eettings ; her neck was profusely decorated with
fingers ; her arms with armlets and bracelets, and her
with rings ; all which ornaments shone with
tat lustre under an Eastern sky. She was the ci-
Ot favourite of the Sultan, and had passed most
her early years in the serai at Constantinople, but
Ass obliged in her turn to make room for a fresh im-
Portation of Georgian beauty."
The particulars of the death of Marshal Ney
are full of interest. The author truly and ge-
nerously says, " I know no one in the British
kony who did not regret it." Think of the
`` bravest of the brave," the hero of a hundred
fights, falling a victim to Bourbon meanness

p, advocate, M. Dupin, stated that Marshal Ney was
f tonger a Frenchman, in consequence of the treaty

ne laws of that country ; but the marshal disdained to
