The BOOKS announced beneath, whose important* is in the inverse ratio of their hulk, and their unpretending appearance, are part of a NEW

_C. C. G lt EV IL L h'.

It affords us pleasure to find by the advertisement prefixed
to this volume, that even in the present time of bold investi-
gation, or rather (as some would say) propensity to discard,
uninvestigated, what has been long received as wisdom, a
work like the present should prove so successful. We are
not, however, surprised ; for the convenience of such a series
of discourses as Dr. Dibdin has selected, printed in such
neat, compact, yet unexpensive volumes, must be acceptable
to every family circle. The present volume has a good por-
trait of the venerable Beilby Porteous, late Bishop of London,
and contains twenty-three discourses by Porteous, Alison,
Morehead, Sydney Smith, Rennell, Johnson, Gilpin' Jones
of Nayland, Pott, and the late Reginald Heber, late Bishop
of Calcutta. We highly approve of the selection, and wish
well to Dr. Dibdin's future labours.
The iiarsionicon —lefareh 1831.—Loxemos and Co.

This number of the Harmonicon commences with two
biographical articles, one of that late able composer and
worthy man, Dr. Calcott, and the other of Rodolphe
Krnitzer, the celebrated violinist, lately deceased. The
next article is an account of two new instruments, formed
on the principle of the Eolina. We have been amused by
the account of the ecclesiastical choirs of Great Britain and
Ireland, and not a little astonished to be informed, that for-
merly choristers were pressed into the service as seamen
still, to the disgrace of British jurisprudence, continue to
ae. The Review of new Music, the Drama, and a copious
Musical Report, with a variety of other interesting matter,
make up t;4. u.itt J-1 ress part of this miscellany. The vocal
Ind instrhmental music of the number are seven pieces,
embracing mita, beauty and variety.

!keg;ltecNon. of the Mao re;erts.—lly a LADY.—CAWTHORN.
We have beim culpable is allo.wing this little volume to
remain so long unnoticed. We have seldom perused a work
of this kind with more agreeable sensations. It is written
by a mother, to assist in the education of her two orphan,
daughters ; and, as if inspiration were conferred commen-
surately to the piety of the motive, the work is distinguished
by ti grace of manner, accuracy of observation, and judicious
' pt veers of a esa riptiun, w hich cannot fail to recommend it to
the patronage of the public. We are merry we cannot find
room for selections. The simple facts of this narrative con-
vey a clearer view of the state of society in the Mauritius,
than the pompous volume of lirant, Viscount de Vaux, or
any other writer on the colony.
