CHARACTER OF THE WORK.


CHARACTER OF THE WORK.
From the Edinburgh Revie7u
1t is a5out two years since We expressed
our anxiety for the appearance OF this work ;
and we have now to congratulate our readers
and ourselves on its publication. But what
is still more satisfactory, and what, after so
many instances of disappointment, we could
scarcely venture to expect, almost all that
we anticipated from the adventurous spirit
and the known abilities of DR. CLARKE, has
been fulfilled and we have, at last, the great
pleasure of seeing before US book oil travels
by person, we will not say combining all
the requisites of traveller, or answering,
in every particular, to what our iaEcy might
picture as most desirable in this character
but certainly uniting more Of the qualihca-
lions essential to his difficult calling, than
any one whose labors have come under our
notice and above all land it is here chiefly
that we would fix our commendation) pro-
ceeding, in the compilation OF his journal
and the digestion of his narrative, upon far
sounder views of the nature of his duties,
than any of those whom we have hitherto
dealt with"
From the Quarterly Review.
CDR. CLARKE has certainly brought to-
pether, in the volume before US, much va
liable information respecting countries very
iaga known; hi. materials are we'll
and clearly arranged; his narrative is always
amusing his style concise & spirited; and,
on some occasions, particularly happy. He
has, also, been permitted to enrich his work
from the Ms. journal of the Rev. Reginald
Hebcr, which are digested into the form Of
notes, and, while they confirm the authors
testimony, materially add to the readers in
struction. 1t may, therefore, be presumed
that such work will be translated into many
other languages "
This interesting work is printed on fns
woven paper with a handsome type, making
large octave volume of $50 pages. Price
9 dollars IS cents, bound.--For sale by

FAIR mourner, lingering near the ground
Where mortals rest IN awful seep,
WHY dost thou turn the parting step
SO oft, and still return to weep
Chill the unwholesome dews descend
The moon pours down sickly light
Nor will thy unprotected charms
Avert the dangers OF the night.
Then why among these drear abodes
Pepsive and sad wilt thou remain
Thus fond TO court the gloomy shade,
Seeking society with pam
'Tis sympathy demands, whose heart
Has learnt TO feel, and hopes TO sooth.
That look, that sign to yonder tomb
Too well disclose the mournful truth.
Yes. there the marble marks his grave
Come earer--still-forgive my sghs
Yes, here, 1 scarcely can repeat,
My friend, my all, my husband hes
Here manly worth and ardent love.
And generous youth lie low beneath
The pressure of the mouldcring earth,
And own thy victory, o death
When long affection lately crown'd,
Exulted in the blissful hour.
Contagion breath'd the poison'd air,
Aud blasted hope, thy farest Hover
The Sun, descending, saw him gay.
Inhalng health with purest breath;
The rising morn illum scene
Of mourning, agony and deMh.
Sad friendship DER his couch reclined, /,
Affection ceased not to deplore
Grief call'd him back with frantick voice
He heard it not--he was no more.
