THIS Work is made up of the elaborate and
L stately ESSAYS of the EtHnbayh, Quarterly,
and other Reviews; and Back2cooTs noble e,it-
ieisns on Poetry, his keen political commenta-
ries, highly wrought tales and vivid descrip-
tlons of rural mountain scenery: and the con-
tributions to Literature, History and Common
Lie, by the sagacious Spectator, the sparkling
Examiner, the judicious AUieneu3a, the busy and
industrious Literary Gazette, the sensible and
comprehensive britannia, the sober and respec-
table Christian Observer; these are intermixed
with the Military and Naval "reminiscences of
the United Service, and with the best articles of
the D,'btiH, University, NeoC Monthly, Frazer's,
Iafs, AtasCorth's, Hoods, and Sporting Mage
-t1,es, and of Chambers admirable Jcu,y,al. We
do not consider it beneath our dignity to bor-
row wit and wisdom from Punch: and, when we
think 1t good enough, make use of the thunder
OF Tie Times. We shall Increase our variety
by lmportations from the continent of Europe
and from the new growth of the British colo
mics.

Of all the periodical journals devoted to lite
nature and science which abound in Europe and
IN this country, this has appeared to me the
most useful. 1t contains indeed the exposition

prehension, includes portraiture of the human
mind, IN the utmost expansion of the present
| age. j @. ADXMs
