"The more accurately we search into the human mind, the
stronger traces we every where find of his wisdom, who
made it. Whilst referring to him, whatever we find right
or good, or fail in ourselves, discovering his strength and
wisdom, even in our own weakness and imperfection. ho-
nouring them where we discoverthem clearly. and adorning
their profundity where we are lost in our search. we may be
inquisitive without impertinence, and elevated without
pride. The elevation of the mind ought to be the principal
end of all our studies, which. if they do not in some mea-
sure effect, they are of little service to us."
"To the Authoress of these admonitory Letters, the weed
is indebted for ao elegant Elegy on the Death of Sir Joke
Moore; and the Reader, cannot but recognise the same
parnassian vein running through these didactic pages. and
embellishing tke grave lessons of instructton with the lan-
guage and imagery of Poetry. The Letter on Truth is
written with a clearness of thought and a closeness of rea-
soning seldom found in the gentler sex. All that relates to
the duties of a daughter and a sister, is conceived is a spirit
of such filial virtue, that we cannot too strongly recommend
the repeated perusal of these two letters. The duties of a
parent are notless usefully insisted on. A Letter on death
closes the volume ; and while it displays all the horrors at-
tendant on that awful change when met by sinful infidelity,
it cheers the practical Christian with every hope of a happy
futurity.—Such then are the contents oftids velu a hie volume ;
and we present it to the Female world as a worthy compa-
nion to Dr. Gregory's Legacy to his Daughters, and as a
friend whose precepts would lead them to Virtue, Honour,
and Happiness."—Anti-Jacobin Review. •

"This is a very proper, amusing, and instructive book for

" The Study of Natural History may be admirably em-,
ployed to impress religions belief, to enforce veneration,
and to excite the most affecting sentiments of devotion to-
wards the Creator of the world. A state of mind thus deeply
imbued with sensations of piety, cannot but exercise a be-
neficial influence on the conduct. The Omnipotence of the
divine power, wisdom and goodness, may be distinctly read
in the works of the creation ; and if young persons were
early taught to trace the attributes of the Divinity in the
varied phenomena of the natural world, they. would form
the habit of referring to God, and would consider hint as a
spectator of every thought they cherished, or every act they
did. It cannot be expected that children should understand
the abstract principles of virtue ; but those abstractions I
may be brought home to their perceptions by the medium of
sensible objects, and by familiar exemplifications, drawn
from the common occurrences of life. This work of Mrs.,
Cockle's, may. no doubt, conduce in some degree to this
end ; and may serve to show, that the performance of duty
is the most important business of life."—Critical Review.

Extract front the Speech, (lately published) of
Thomas Powell Buxton, Rsq. in the House of Com-
mons, Wednesday, May 23,, 1821, on the Bill for
mitigating the Severity of Punishment in certain cases
of Forgery and the crimes conieeted therewith."
A century has passed away, walked by nothing so
extraordinary in our legislation, as the rapid growth
of criminal laws. In that century, the criminal law
of England has increased to four-fold dimensions. Of
the twenty bulky volumes of the Statutes on your
table, three contain the Statutes prior to the year
1700; for all the rest. we are indebted to the indas-
trims spirit of legislation which has prevailed in later
times. And during that period, the advocates of se-
verity have been permitted the utmost latitude, nay,
I will say. the utmost licentiousness, of legislation.— •
Well then, severity being wisdom, and capital enact-
ment being the best method of repressing crime. and
we having attained the utmost point of that sagacious
severity, it follows that, as to crimes, we must hare
attained the etmost I sit of perfection. It follows.
that we mast now enjoy that security against crime
which belongs to so enlightened a system; it follows,
that we, distinguished from ourselves in former period%
and from the rest of the world in the present moment.
by greater severity of enactment, must be equally
died taisheslaar....eaaaw cavity .fans~ USW rum-
ples-Wag tree. this is the inevitable consequence.
Now, it might melts the boldest believer is the ef-
ficiency of executions pause a little, and sohkewhat
distrust the infallibility of his own jedgment, to con-
trast these reasonable and pleasant prospects ; these
bright, and, if his doctrine be sound, these inevitable
results, with the strange and melancholy truth ; and
there are facts which place that result at once in a
most striking and a most alarming point of view.
It appears. by mess which are now on the table of
" the House, that there passed through the prisons of
this country is the year 1818. no less than 107,000
Some very considerable deductions,
grant, must be wade from that number. some addi-
tions also must be made. But, without entering into
minor details, making for argument's sake. so extra-
vagant an abatement as one-fourth ; still, what an
army of delinquents remains! What • mass of crimi-
nality does it display ! But these are only a part, and
comparatively a small part, of the number of crimi-
nals. These are the offenders detected in that year:
and to these must be added, the still greater number
who, in that year, escaped detection. Conjoin these,
the comparatively few. who are seised by your law.
with those, the many who evade it—and then what a
bulk and mass of crime does it open to us ! " lint, pre-
vention of crime is our object," says the Solicitor-tie-
neral. And let me ask him—let we ask any one wise
views the question as the Hon. and !seamed tientle-
man ha•l invited us to view it; not as a matter of party,
but fairly and impartially—whether he can pretend
to see in that mighty mass of guilt and infamy—in
that enormou. concourse of persons who are ever
rea !y to invade the peace, and who always live by
preying un the industry and property of the conim.t-
nity. any proof that crime has been prevented ?

Saturday an Incises% was takeisat the Blacksmith's
Arms, L•twer East Smithfield, her .re J. IV. Urwin,
Esq. Coroner, ea the body of Mr. Wen. Curdey„ chief
mate of a Scotch trader, now lying is the river, u
Inerf. It appeared that on Friday last tie
deceased, with same of the crew, were employed i.a
adjusting the cradle hetween his ship and another
alongside of her, to prevent them from striking tog.-
thee by the ebbing of the tide, when, on janipiog on
the cradle to force it down, the rope by which it was
suspended from the ship gave way, and he was preei-
pitate.l into the river. Verdict—•• Accidental death."
Another inquest was taken at the same time and place,
on the body of Richard Broad, a Jailor, aged thirty-
five. The deceased came on shore on Friday eveniu
with some of his shipmates, who, atter having drank
rather freely, returned on board Again, bat without
him, and he was next morning found drowsed, at low
water, of Sint Andrew's Wharf. 'I Isere being no
evidence before the Jury to show by whet means the
d •ceased came to be in the water, they immediately
returned a verdict of—" Found drowned."—An in-
quisition was takes on Friday night, before Mr. Sli,l-
- Coroner for London and Southwark, at the
in (heat New-street, New-street-square, on Inc view if
the body of Mr. James Broughton, aged 68. The tir•
ceased was brother to Mr. Broughton, of the Swan
Inn, Holborn-bridge, and resided at No. 14. Little
New-street. He bad returned on Wednesday ',erasing.
after spending the day at his brother'~. and ongoing
up the stairs in his own house, he fell backwarda a I
