the volume, and upon it discover several spots
of paler hue, designated respectively, "Courtship
"Maze," "Lovers Rest" 'Lovers' Leap" and so
forth. What effect these places may have on inva-
lids we are unable to say; and, for ourselves, we
would be shy of solving the mystery, if they are
trequented by those gentlemen who are referred to
in these pages as having ''thin, hard and glazed"
tongues, and "precarious and bad appettes and
''worse spirits. But those who do intend to travel
for health or pleasure to the Virginia Watering
places, will do well to obtain such information
beforehand as is furnished by DR.. Norman.

MEMOIRS Of THE EAnIy Ir4JIAN PAINTERS BY Mrs. JANE
This reprint of Mrs. Jameson's WELL known vol
ume, which originally appeared about fifteen years
ago. is from the tenth English edition, fact of
itself sufficient to prove the lasting popularity of
the work. That such popularity is not undeserved
will be readily admitted by those who will run
through these biographical and critical sketches
| The accurate knowledge of medieval and particu-
| larly of Italian Art, possessed by Mrs. Jameson,
and the earnest devotion with which she regards it,
never fail to render her books upon it, and kindred
subjects, peculiarly interesting. These Memoirs
are valuable not only for the information they
tain, but because of the careful and discriminating
Judgment which large experience and exquisite
taste have qualified the authoress to pass upon the
painters and their works.

HINTS TOWARDS PERFECTION THE PHILOSOPHY HUMAN
BEATTY Showing how to acquire and retain bodily sym
rmities and defrmitiss Of age By D IL Ac9rEs Vol,
No. sos Broadway. 1880
The title page of this work is probably sufficient
ly attractive to secure it many readers. Should
half its promise be fulfilled, it will prove the most
valuable book which has issued from the modern
press. We are not sanguine that this will be the
case, however, for while we acknowledge that
the theory on which the author proceeds, namely
that physical and psychica perfection identical,
is striking and captivating one to many minds,
we know of no facts to authorize such generaliza-
ton. All the ascertained conditions of human ex-
istence negative the presumption, and material
philosophy must seek in vain to realize on earth
the hopes and rewards of Immortality

These volumes appeal strongly to the sentiments
of the Catholics of the United States, for whose
instruction they are specially intended nor do we
think that the life of the heroic Xavier, could be
read without profit by those who are most prompt
to reject his creed.

| DAVENPORT DUNN; OR, A MAN OF Orr DAY From the
press of I. B. Peterson Brothers, Philadelphia.
One of Levers dashing stores-not by any means
good as his best, so bad his worst. 1t pos
all the faults and merits of its authors style,
though not in so marked degree as some earlier
works. Mr.. Lever, we observe, is particularly
spitefu towards the Yankees, and we wonder how
he has escaped the of that stern and classic
pen which recently vindicated American manners
and morals from Mr.. Thackeray's depreciation of
them in the portrait of Miss Vanden Bosch. The
Irish author is perhaps beneath the notice of the
patriotic critic.

THE Filling UP OF THE BASIN Opinion of Dr. JAMES IG-
We have received from the Doctor a pamphlet
bearing the above title, but we have not sufficiently
recovered from the shock caused by reading his ter
rife account of the perilous position of city,
to be able to review his pages at length He says:
"The same state of things which occurred before
the walls of Troy, when the eXcreta of thousands
| exposed to the rays of the sun
Which hurled to Pluto's gloomy reign
The souls of mighty chiefs, untimely slain
exists at present in the basin and docks of Balti-
more"
When we reached this point, abandoned our
selves to grief and despair because of this sad con-
dtion of affairs and the hopeesness of any remedy
In our present distressed frame of mind we trust
our readers will us if we cannot discuss
furt her the Dc ctors views.
