ROGERS'S WORKS, PART VIII.
111oxon, London, 1835:
This volume congaing a considerable nortion of 1110
well-known " Italy," the most easy, graceful, and familiar
of all its enthor's poems. In his " Pleasures of Mc'
ni6ryl" • however sweet the. versification, there was
something cloying and monotonous in jts very sweet-
ness ; the pauses were never varied, which js certainly
not the case with the Italian sketches, whose
verses possesses as many variations of melody, as (file
of Rossini's happiest airs. A little more vigor, per-
haps, and originality of thought, would have improved
the poem ; but herein Mr. Rogers has invariably
himself deficient. The embellishments
shown blank
to the
volume arc all engraved' from designs • furnished by
Turner ; but as we spoke of these, at very extended
length, when they were first sent to • us a year or IW°
since, there is no need to say more of them on the
present occasion, than that they arc fully entitled to
rank among the most artist-like productions of the tia)"

HOGG'S VISIT TO ALEXANDRIA, &c., 2 Trols'
Saunders and ()lbw, London, 1835.
Those who look for lively, vivid sketches of Orien-
tal habits -and Oriental scenery, will not be disap-
pointed on a Fcrusal of these volumes ; for Mr. fingg,
the author, is a traveller of a shrewd and inquisittve
turn of mind, with. a taste for the picturesque, that
gives an impressing • effect to all his descriptive
sketches. His account of Damascus and its environs
is full of particularity, especially when he comes 0
speak of it as a Pachalic, and to detail and account
for the antipathy of its inhabitants to Europeans. As
a writer possessed of,an easy, agreeable,. fluent style
of narrative, we know of few modern traydlers more
deserving of popularity than Mr. Hogg.

,REMINISCENCES OF NIEBUHR.
Bentley. London, 1835.
This is a record, by a German author named
Lieber, Professor of History in the South Carolina
College, of many interesting literary conversatio►'s held
by him, at various times, with Niebuhr, the celebrated
historian of the Roman Empire. The volume
well repay the reader's diligent attention ; for Nicbar's
remarks, if not cliaracterized by fancy or originality',
are all at least marked by good sense, and show a deep
knowledge of the world. fl portrait, which is pre-
fixed to the volume, betokens .he man of thought and
research, and the general cast of features closely re-
sembles that of the late Charles Mil-I'2, the historian 0
Mahomedanism and the Crusades.
