n Scfipttpiat Vtotc Of W0ndn's Rights and Du-
ties, az al Me Important Relations. Of Life. BY
ELIzABErH WILSON. PIP. $40.
We have not yet found time to give this work
a thorough reading, but we have examined it
with sufficient care to be able to say, that the
author exhibits q thorough knowledge of her
subject and much argumentative skill in de-
Tending her own views and a~ssailing those of
her, opponents. She has examined the Bible
with great care, and the manner in which she
uses up the popular commentaries upon that
book must delight those whose love of truth is
superior to their generation for long established
error. She is herself an Old School Presbyte-
rian, and therefore her vindication of the rights
of her sex cannot be ascribod by our popular
Divines to religious horesy. She has proved
herself a match for the whole of them, from
Matthew Henry down to Parsons Cook, having
utterly demolished the arguments by which
they attempt to show the infcriority of Woman
and her duty to submit to the will of the strong
or sex. As a literary performance the book is
open to criticism, but good common sense and
sound argument are moro important in this dis
cussion at present than the graces of compost
ton. The writer is thoroughly in earnest, and
for thus Drawing a corrupt and tyrannous pub
lie sentiment she deserves the thanks of the
truths sake, as well as for the authors encour-
agement in well doing, we hope the book will
find a ready sale.

The publishers of this popular work, in COM

display of artistic skill and beauty as well as of
literary genius and taste. In the first place we

quisite specimen of printing in colors by Acker-
man then a colored flower, another brilliant
specimen of the same art then a splendid mez-

in Milton, and 'Runnymead or Magma Charta
Island by White. Beside the above there are
many fine gems of art, in the form of wood en-
cravings, scattered through the number, among
which arc a beautiful aud expressive likeness of
Humboldt, the celebrated Prussian Philosopher,
and a head of Rubens. These and the other en-
cravings are all fresh, having been executed ex-

.uary, 1850.
This old and we'll established magazine holds,
as it deserves, a high rank among the literary
periodicals of the country. Its embellishments
are almost invariably of the most expensive
kind, and finished in the highest style, while its
literary contents are exceedingly attractive. The
present number (the first OF . new volume,) is
superb. We have never seen in any magazine
finer engravings than the Belle of the Season.
The Light of Life and The Advent of the
Year The latter is indeed magnificent both in
design and execution. The colorcd picture of
The European Oriole,' too, is exceedingly
beautiful, and so also is the new engraved title
page by Tucker. There are beside several mi
nor engravings which exhibit good taste and ar
tistic skill. The literary matter is varied and
attractive, embracing contributions in prose or
verse from L. s.. Arthur, I'll. d. Hirst, Caroline
H. Butler, Alfred B. Street, H. L. Tuckerman,
Grace Greenwood, H.. w. Longfellow, Edgar
A. Poe, w. G. Simms, Hon. J. L. Starr, Fran
ces S. Osgood, G. J. Peterson, and Prof. Frost
