    which never for a _mdment ceases its appeal to our conviction * His flights of , fancy are * in our judg- . raent _, not so eccentric and _dazzling , as are : those of Dr Chalmers , but his power of argumentation is

    stronger ; - _~ he addresses more forcibly the understanding . W . e have read all the essays before us with so much pleasure , that it would be invidious to -select any one of them

    as the subject of preference;—to all who indulge in intellectual _pursuits—^ -literary or political , this volume will not fail to be a delightful and untiring companion _.

    Beauties of the Country . By Thomas Miller , Author of " A Day in the Woods / ' 1 vol . London , 1837 . A most pleasant companion in the sweet and quiet country , adding

    the charm of happy associations to _every time and season ; _shewing the way to whatever of good or beautiful lies in the path , and enriched-with store of apt quotations from among the best writers , new and old . We much admired the

    former work by the same author , of which this is a worthy successor .

    Flowers of Fiction . Part I . Berger . A careful selection of good materials , and altogether a "very amusing companion tor the fire-side of winter , or for a country ramble in summer . We must , however ,

    Mammon Demolished , or an Essay on the Love of Money By the Rev . B . H . Draper * Darton . We recommend this little book to

    all the pluralist clergy of the United Kingdoms , Proceeding from the pen of one of the " cloth , ' it will no doubt be accepted on authority , — " Diamond cut diamond /'

    A Discourse on the Complete /? e * storation of Man . By Daniel Chapman * Hamilton , From the truly Christian-like forgiveness manifested towards us by the author , notwithstanding * our thoroughly tranchant notice of his former work ( Repository for 1836 . Vol . X , p . 325 ) we would fain have entered into an elaborate

    examination of the present one , for the purpose of eliciting all the good we could from it . Much good it certainly contains , but So interwoven with the religi 6 n called Church-of-Englandism , arid with melo-dramatic declamations , arid

    horrid pictorial rhapsodies , that we are compelled to abandon the attempt .

    Goldsmith ' s England . 4 vols . Bell and Co . Very richly got up , and of a small pocket size . The continuation of the history down to the present time , by Mr Bellchambers , 13 carefully executed . The wood-cuts are good , and some of them very characteristic . We beg to dissent however , from that portion of Mr Bellchambers * introduction , where

    he states that the merit of Goldsmith ' s compilations is universally allowed . They are very indifferent , and some we could mention were trashy affairs of scissors and paste . Poor Goldsmith did them from necessity : they went sorely
