COEBURN'S NEW 'MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR SEP •
TEMBER.—Thomas Hood, the able Editor of this popu-
lar Magazine, in the Number for September, seems de-
termined to satisfy the tastes of all classes of readers.
For the sportsman, he very seasonably brings forward a
capital paper, evidently • from a first-rate shot, called
" The First of September ; or, a Day's Partridge Shoot-
ing." For the tourist, there is an admirable description
of an adventure in Persia, by the Hon. C. Stuart Savile..
and it clever ardcle, called " The" Love of the Country ;"
whilst such as continue in " populous city pent," will
find no less satisfaction in making themselves acquainted
with Mr. Poole's graphic continuation of the career of
their thrifty fellow-citizen, " Phineas Quiddy." The
thousands who are regarding with the deepest interest
the progress (,f our arrangements with the United States,
may obtain a tolerable estimate of the sayings and doings
of our Transatlantic fgethren, by following the foot-
steps of the " Barnabys in America," under the able
auspices of Mrs. Trollope. The lover of the wild and
wonderful, will obtain ample gratification in the story of
" Leah Meriel," by the author of " The Reminiscences
of a Medical Student ;" and those of more sober taste
are sure of -being satisfied with the narrative of the
"Rector of Rushley," by the, author of " Peter Prig-
gins." _ As for the Editor himself, we know not whether
most to admire his brilliant poem of the ".Elm Tree, a
Dream in the Woods," or his laughable unpoetic brochure,
called " A First Attempt at Rhyme." •
