The Englishman's Magazine, a popular periodical for gene-
ral reading. London: James Burns, 17, Portman-street.
We have received the first four numbers for the present

year of

üblication, which we can confidently recommend
to t•ur readers as a really useful and valuable work. By the
Y Ring especially, of our national religion, who are not the
less fond of a magazine because, amongst the more lively sub-
lects upon which it treats, the inculcation of sound religious
principles is not lost sight of, it ought to be extensively pa-
tronised. It is very neatly got up ; and the price of each
number, 4d., brings it within every one's reach.

Burn's Magazine for the Young.

This is a publication of a similar nature to the English-
man's Magazine, by the same publisher, but it is intended
for a more juvenile class of readers. Each number is em-
bellished with very neat wood-cuts—some of them perfect
gems—and is published at the very low price of two-pence.

Tail's Edinburgh Magazine, May, 1842. Edinburgh,
W. Tait ; London, Simpkin, Marshall and Co.
The present number of Tait is superior to most of the re-
cent numbers which have come before us. " Abednego, the
Moiev-lender," by Mrs. Gore, is continued, and increases

By the way, we
may inform the publisher that his last num-
