This is q highly entertaining little volume,
made up of COMBINATIONS of a series of lectures
delivered to young mems societies at various
places in England. Running through its hun
dred and forty pages of elaborate research,
cunning analysis, and profound criticism, one
is made to realize that these curt little aphor-

Of wit and circumstance, that have danced
adown the tide of literature from time imme-

Since the dawn of the newspaper era, no
journal has exercised an influence SO wide
spread in its boundaries, or so autocratic in its
character, as the London Times From the
first, its editorial corps has comprised many of
England's most imperial intellects; and, though
during recent years it has Jagged behind pop
ular growth, and lost thereby not a little Of its
whlom sway, it still stands the most potent es-
tablishment in the world, of its kind. Among
its several departments, that of literature holds
a prominent position, and, with now and then
an exception, its criticisms are heightened,
comprehensive, and just. The volume before
us is made up of selections from this depart
ment during recent period. Among the sub
jects, we notice Tennyson, Dickens, Thacke-
ray, &c. The book bears the colors of apple

HOME COOKERY. collection of tried Receipts, both
Foreign and Domestic. By Mrs ]. Chadwick Bos-
ton; Crosby, Nichols, Co. For sale by Taylor &
Maury.
This book will be valuable auxiliary to
young housekeepers, it seems to u.s. 1t is con-
else in directions, specific in quantities, and
does not deal so exclusively in foreign elabora-
tons of culinary processes as the majority of
such books, but gives a large space to direc-

The UNA. No. .. A monthly paper, 16 pages quar-
to, devoted to the elevation of woman Edited
and published by Mrs Davis, at Providence, r. l.
The above No. is received. This publication
is worthy of special notice, for the liberal spirit
broad views, and considerable respectfulness,
with which it is conducted. Mrs. Davis has
several good contributors, her selections are
well made, and her own articles are of very
high rank She has given us two essays of a
series upon the physical, intellectual, and NOR
al character of woman, that present the prem
ises of the argument for womans rights so far
as they have proceeded, with freshness and
force that will command attention. There is
nothing of the spirit of insurrection, nothing Of
reformatory combativeness, at least nothing of
the moral bully in them, that make such move
ments 50 often offensive to good taste, and
provocative of resistance Her argument is
calm, candid philosophical, and effective; and
rests upon, while it even helps to illustrate the
rights and duties of all the members of the 30
cial compact toward each other. She advances
boldly, but courteousy and safely, toward the
vindicaton of the largest claims which the
"movementn has set up for woman in social,
industrial, and political life and in view not
the less womanly for being what we usually
call masculine in energy and effectiveness.
There is much nice as well as just discrimina-
ton in her apprehension Of the different con-
stitution and functions of the sexes never losing
sight or feeling of the varied humanity which
they respectively exhibit and never losing any
thing of the preferred claim for equal liberty
and agency in all things, by such concession OF
the opponents premises The discussion IS
indeed, unexpectedly promising of interest and
instruction, and we want to see the rest of
