LITERATURE.

A SERIES OF STATISTICAL CHARTS,

Showing the Fluctuations in Quantity and Value of the
Products of the Soil, with various Ascertainments, ob-
viously influential on the Husbandry of the British
Empire, founded on official Authority and other au-
thentic Documents. Perspicuously arranged and de-
lineated by Layton Cooke, estate agent and land sur-
veyor: London, 1828.

There is much originality and. we may even say
amusement about these charts, notwithstanding they
are on statistical subjects—proverbially the driest
and most revolting. of all studies. Conceive a pic-
torial illustration of the National Debt ; the rise,
progress, and diminution of which are explained by
corresponding linear). representations ! At one view
the whole system of political economy is laid open
to the eye. Even the studied mystifications of that
Paragon of Chancellors, Lord 'Bexley, are sim-
plified so as to be rendared absolutely intelligible.
The Corn Question is elucidated on a similar prin-
ciple with equal success; t.l sort of skeleton picture
is 'formed out of it ; and it is thus indirectly made w
form a branch of the Fine Arts. Mr. Layton Cooke
is the Claude of political economy ; his lineary
illustrations are neither more nor less than
so many statistic landscapes conceived and exe-
cuted in the truest spirit of the picturesque.
They appeal at once to the eye and understanding,
arid give a far correcter and quicker insight into the
subjects they profess to delineate, than the most
elaborate details of the most finished political econo-
mist. The mysteries of the Corn Question—the
complex nature of the Exports and Imports—the
ever fluctuating character of Finance, are all divested
of their intricacies, and rendered accessible to the
humblest capacity. Alt. Cooke's illustrations are,
in fact, the very things most wanted in the present
age—an age impatient of toil, and anxious to arrive
at knowledge through the simplest and most expe-
ditious medium. No senator riot politician should
be without them.

THE CROPPY.--3 VoIs.—LONDON, 1528.

This tale is by the intelligent author of the
" O'Hara Family," and in some respects is worthy
of him. The scene, as a matter of course, is laid in
Ireland, at that busy period (1797), when the
whole country, with one or two exceptions, was in a
state of insurrection. The mere mention of this circum-
stance will suffice to shew that Mr.Banim has selected
a subject every way adapted to his great and peculiar
abilities. fie has, indeed, given us a stirring con-
ception of the horrors attendant on martial law, and
if after acquainting ourselves with his very temperate
and judicious characters of Papist and Orangeman,
an inference is drawn in favour of the former, it is
because he has justice on his side. Mr. Banim's
plot is slight; it is merely a vehicle for the develop-
ment of certain historical events which might other-
wise be forgotten or misconstrued. Pie writes in
the calm but energetic spirit of a Catholic, striving,
hard to give fair play to both parties. His know-
ledge of Irish character, particularly those of the
lower and more indigenous class, assists him greatly
in this endeavour. - He seems intimately acquainted
not merely with their names, or manners, or dialects,
or principles,but with the most secret workings of their
hearts; he anatomizes and lays bare their motives of ac-
tion,notes down with the precision of a Lavater every
change--however slight—that passes over their
countenance; and gives us a series of portraits glow-
ing all over with individual touches of reality. His
minutely detailed sketches of Nanny the Knitter (an
inquisitive old village gossip, as unlike all other gos-
sipsas possihle),and the sturdy Smith Shawn-a-Gow,
a noble fellow, goaded into rebellion by Orange in-
sults, will fully bear out our opinion. Of the plot of
the Croppy we profess to give no account, for this
plain reason, it is—to us at least—unintelligible.
Enough to repeat that it is a mere peg on which
sketches of national scenery—manners—arid charac-
ters are hung. Mr. Banim has rarely been successful
in his stories, they are for the most wild—abrupt
and improbable; he is besides too fond of exagge-
rating gloom ; has a fine taste for the picturesque in
blood-shed; and revels, absolutely revels, like Sunday
Newspapers, in a murder. Among the monstrosi-
ties of his present tale, and.we dare say that she is
his faVourite character—is Miss Belinda Saint John,
a romantic sort of young lady—a Thurtell in petti-
coats—who having been seduced in early life by the
hero of the piece, Sir William Judkin, feeds her ima•
gination for years with the prospect of a fearful re-
venge. When, however, the time for retribution
arrives, and the " lady killer"—a strapping Irish-
man, standing six feet one in his shoes--lies helpless
ant"Ying before. her, a sense of humanity returns
(for which we thank Mr. Banim, as it is the lady's
one redeeming quality) anti she then gives vent to
natural emotion. We should premise that Eliza
Hartley is the female for whom Sir William deserted
Belinda : she is here made the involuntary witness of
his death which takes place in a ruin.
Belinda stood in the centre of the ruin, the moon shone
upon her emaciated and ashy face, glistening over the coal-
black hair that hung thickly down her hollow cheeks, and
touched with dim radiance the folds of her funeral dress,
and thus standing, elevated to her full height, she seemed
a figure fitly situated amidst the wreck around her. •
‘,l have brought—forced you here," she answered,
66 that you may have your request, and that I may keep
my promise ; for here--ay, in this very churchyard—you
are to meet him who has played traitor to us both, and
whom you will hear admit as much before the moon goes
.down." . •

She stepped aside as she uttered these words ; the ray
of moonlight she had intercepted flowed forward and fell
in a white shower in the far corner of the ruin. She
started, fixed her eyes upon it, pointed impressively to it,
and resumed.

" Look there; that is supernatsral ! It lights up the
very spot where rest two of his victims—my broken-hearted
mother and my little murdered innocent. Upon a dark

night, my father paddled a small boat along the river below,
and for cargo he had two corses in their coffins. Hither he
bore them, and rooted among the stones to make them the
only grave the place would allow. Some days after, as I
am told, a few children playing amongst the graves, saw
the end of a new coffin that had been but partially covered
with the rubbish, and they ran away in terror. But it
was even my request that the coffins should not be bidden
deep.. I anticipated this night, when I might be able to
point out the names on the lids. And now I will prepare
for his coming ;" and-proceeding to the corner she stooped
down, catching the moonlight uplift her back, as she hastily
tumbled away the stones. . .

Steps and voices were heard approaching—they came
nearer, Belinda drew bark into the shade, and two men
entered, bearing the seemivly lifeless body of a third
person.

" Lay him there," said Belinda, speaking from her con-
cealrnent, as she motioned towards the corner in which she
had lately been occupied.
" Eliza Hartley'." screamed the dying• mao, " where
is she?"

" I am dose by you, William," answered Eliza.
" And do I touch your innocent hand? do I look upon
your radiant face ?"
A deep " hah !" escaped Belinda.
She drew out the long blade that Eliza had before Teen
in her hand.

" Hold, Belinda do not make yourself a murderess !"
shrieked Eliza, flinging herself once more by Sir William.
" Touch him not, siren !—brave rue not ! Rise up and
harken to me! you and he together !"
.66 Ah!" Eliza shrieked again, " he cannot harken to
more !—He is dead !—dead since he fell upon the coffin
" Dead?" repeated Belinda—" dead yo❑ say?" She
knelt, put back his hair, and looked into hie rigid features.
" And so be is ; dead, and as lowly laid as his poor victims.
?le was a had and wretched man, Eliza, but beautiful as
Lucifer. lam glad it happens thus. Had he come before
me in all his vigorous strength, I think I could have kept
my oath ; but from the moment I aaw his crushed and
wounded body, and heard his low wailing voice, revenge
left my heart; and when you cried out just now, I did
not draw the steel to strike it through him, Eliza, but
only that he might see proofof my former purpose. Well,
he iv gone—he, whom we both loved ; and he has left one
of us destroyed and avenged, and the other saved and
warned. God be more merciful to him than we were
to each other ! Ile now stands for judgment, with you,
my little baby, as his accuser." Belinda went o;i, laying
one hand on the infant's coffin, while the bawl- passed round
the neck of the corse : " But do not, do not plead loudly
against your wretched father? Even for my sake, my
babe, kneel at his feet, and held up your angel hands for
him to the Great Judge. I think he has bribed your
advocacy, after all ; Eliza, slid he not seem to die praying
over the relics of his child? and when his arms fell help-
lessly down, perhaps"—Belinda's voice broke and trembled
—" perhaps he would have embraced the innocent clay.—
Nay, what is this? The night-dew, or his tears, upon the
lid ? 011 God ! oh God ! and did he weep for us at last,
my infant?" The unhappy woman found way for her
tears—the first shed since .her idol had ffirsaken her ; and
pressing tightly the arm that encircled the dead man's neck,
she flung the other round the coffin, and fell convulsed
upon it.

We have quoted this passage, as: it gives a good
idea of Mr. Banim's vigorous (but occasionally mis-
directed) fancy. If he will only cut the German
school of horrors, forswear all attempts at facetious-
ness, which are the most serious things in his tale,
and stick to what he has himself seen and felt in the
course of a familiar and extended acquaintance with
Ireland, he may write with as much broad energy
as he pleases, and will always insure admirers.

THE SPEAKING FRENCLI GRAMMAR.
Third Edition, by J. V. Douviir_s.
We have already done justice to this excellent
Grammar, and rejoice to see the ingenious author's
labours so liberally patronised by the public, as to
render a Third Edition necessary. We have care-
fully looked over the book, and perceive that it is
materially revised and enlarged in those particular
departments more immediately devoted .to facilitate
the speaking of French. Indeed, for this last requi-
site we know of no Grammar so well adapted. If
any doubt this fact, let them examine the Grammar,
and it will speak for itself. A very copious voca-
bulary enriches the volume. The following is the
author's
