    The Radical Peerage . A brief peerage , but a plain and true one , and the cheapest we have ever seen . It contains a rapid sketch of the legislative history of the Lords

    with accounts , not very flattering , of the origin of some of the most conspicuous privileged families . Such a pamphlet as this would , if anytning could , shame those who , even yet , try to corrupt children ' s minds , on the very threshold of history , by stories of virtue rewarded and hereditary patriotism .

    Moral Instruction , addresssed to the Working Classes , Part I .

    * Origin and beneficial effects of Sunday-schools ; importance of moral instruction to young persons ; advantages of knowledge ; duty of being serviceable to each other ; propriety of conduct , and the duties of apprentices and servants ; amusements ; diligence ; obedience ; honesty ; truth and sincerity : ' these are the topics discussed in this publication ,

    which consists of ' lessons which were actually employed , between thirty and forty years ago , for the mental and moral improvement of the working classes at Birmingham / They have , no doubt , aided in the production of the desired effect . The operatives of that town have been essentially benefited by the School Society , in connexion with which these plain and sensible lectures were delivered . An admirable

    peculiarity of those Sunday-schools was , that their influence was prolonged into after life , and they were made to furnish their own succession of teachers out of those who had enjoyed their advantages as pupils . This arrangement , combined with the peculiar aptitude of Mr . Luckcock and others interested in them , made them an instrument of good , incomparably more efficient than the feeble and generally sectarian institution which the term Sunday-school is employed to describe .

    Political Christianity .

    This is one of the best collections of facts , which are accompanied with suitable and spirited reasonings , on the religious condition of Ireland , that we have seen . Its object is set forth in a descriptive title-page , as follows : State Patronage and Government Support , in National Establishments of Religion , not only ineffective as a means of propagating

    divine truth , but pernicious to the Nation , and obstructive to the progress of Scriptural Religion ; illustrated in the Political , Ecclesiastical , and Educational Statistics of Ireland / Although only a pamphlet of 136 pages , this publication contains a mass of historical matter , relative to the Catholic and Protestant Churches of Ireland , the Presbyterians , and minor sects , the various charitable institutions for education , and their

    present condition and influence : all lucidly presented , and demanding alike the consideration of the legislature and the public . The C hapter of Conclusions , in tabular form / is particularly striking ; nor can the accounts of the actual workings of the education societies be read without strong interest .
