GoDrr's LApys Book FOR ArGrsr.-We
have had the pleasure Of glancing here and there
through the pages ofthc August number Of this
favoritc Magazine. We are gratilcd that Il
healthy literary tone is being introduced into its
constitution. Tuckcrman essay on Language,
is among that class of subjects which should
more frequently find place in our popular Ma
gazncs. Part II Of this essay viii be found in
