CONSTABLE'S MISCELLANY. No. XX.
We have so often reverted to this miscellany that
little need be said on the present °mien. If we.
were desirous of making a present to some lively and
intelligent young friend, we know no volumes We
should *der to these. They • comprise within
reasonable and attainable limits an abundant, variety
of information, such as abridgMents of the choicest
books of voyages and travels—snatches. of biography
and anecdote—essays partly,original, partly selected,
on the most generally acceptable topics—historiettes
relating to the most distinguished kingdom's of the
ancient and modern world—all bound together In
one harmonious and consistent whole, The Editor .
is without dqubt a man of.varied if not extensive ia-
formation, for we find that he buckles to his task
con amore. This alone is a sufficient guarantee for
his success.

NAVARIN : A POE3l.—Laoluow, MIL
This is the first poem we have seen on this " 1114

young ',writer, John Mackay Wilsom, and consideretil
as a juvenile attempt winces ,much promise. there

by other less ennobling pursuits, it deserves no or,
dinary praise. We give the following as a favourable
sample of the whole
Rise ! children of the mighty dead
Rise ! is the Spartan spirit fled ?

But Freedom thunder* at its gates,..-

terms from this one characteristic line.—

gay wife of a well-disposed country gentleman.
There is no great novelty in this close of a Itoue's
career, the novelty would be if it closed otherwise ;
still, however, though the incident be common-place,
it is vigorously ponrtrayed, and no one can read it

MARY lIARLAND: A TALE,Loanon, 1828.
" Ewe iter►un Crispinue—Another tale as
usual of seduction with all its concomitant afflictions .
The scene is laid in low life, and describes minutely
and scientifically, the various steps, by which a pre-
mising young servant maid is led from vanity to
flirtation, from flirtation to intriguei from intrigue to
ruin, and from ruin to an attic in some detestable
hovel about town,--the very apex of want and
abomination. The excessive sentiment of that imi-
tative class of society, ladies'-maids, will no doubt
be infinitely excited by this tale, and if but in on►.
solitary instance it induces them to stick to their
own stations, and not cultivate nerves and such like
fashionable luxuries, the fair writer's aim—for she
is manifestly 4 female, by the delicate minuteness of
her details—will be answered. •

OBJECTS, ADVANTAGES, &c. OF SCIENCE.
LONDON, INS.

This is admirably suited to the wants of young
students in the various departments of science. It
conveys abstruse facts through a pleasant, brief, and
intelligible medium ; unencumbered by the verbiage
and circumlocutory modes of explanation, which too
frequently deform the ‘vritings of our grave elaborate
professors. It may safely, we think, be recommended
to the notice of schoolmasters, as it is a short,
rapid, and easy cut to knowledge.

AN ANSWER TO DR. PHILPOTTS ON THE

IY A CLERGYMAN OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
townox, 1828.

The Rev. Dr. Philpotts is a genuine descendant
of those stiff churchmen whose pedantic and bigotted
orthodoxy alternately amused and galvanised thu
middle ages. He is, like Southey's Roderick,
the " Last of the Goths"—the sole (or nearly so)
representative of a dull exploded species. In his
turn of mind he is keen—learned---sophistical—un-
encumbered with charitable scruples, unable to put
forth an enlarged argument or to comprehend it
when advanced by another, but sufficiently dexterous
to gild a tinsel cause, and so to confound the dis-
tinct ions of truth and falsehood that none but the mast
practised enquirer shall be able to discriminate between
them. Vnfortunately, however, for his faun., hehas"
len on evil times." lieshould have flourishedin those
congenial days when one half of Europe marshalled
itself in arms against theother, to revenge the slight
put upon its devotion by the mis-spelling of the word
" Homoousion"—when two Divines, high in rank
and reputation, descanted for years upon that
puzzling. subject, " how many thousand angola can
dance on the point of a needle without jostling each
.other?"—when, in short, intolerance was the test of
anti subserviency the rowd to preferment.
