    English Scenes and Civilization . 3 vols . Ws cannot give a more correct account of this publication than the Author ' s own , in an introductory * Note . ' He says , * This desultory work consists chiefly of scenes and conversations , or mere sketches of people and things , as they commonly are . Its figures have no

    extraordinary relievo ; and for the most part its details , whatever ] their truth and interest , are not meant to go far into the depths of human nature , or to dwell on any of those profounder passions which originate overwhelming events . Its characters and occurrences belong not to wondrous story ; but are moved , and linked together only as are usually those of varied real life , —whether influenced by chance or choice ; still

    following the natural order and coincidences of human things . ' The volumes answer perfectly to these modest pretensions . The reader knows what to expect , and it is his own fault if' he be disappointed . We confess , for ourselves , that the truth was sometimes rather closer than we relished , and the Author seemed to us not sufficiently aware how apt a picture of the tiresome is to become a tiresome picture .

    The Art of being Happy . By B . H . Draper . This work is avowed to be chiefly * from a French work by M . Droz , bearing the same title . ' Much good may be gained from it ; but in the pursuit of happiness , he is far from being most likely to hit the mark vrho is always aiming at it . Happiness is a grand and ultimate result ,

    of which character is the most , or rather , only efficient means . He feels happiness who makes it . With this leading truth the Author , or Authors , of this book seem not to be sufficiently impressed . Nevertheless it contains many admirable truths , of great practical worth ; mixed with much that is superficial , indefinite , and useless :

    Observations on the Civil Disabilities of British Jews . By John Coles This pamphlet relates not so much to the claims of the Jews as to the spirit in which those claims have been discussed . It is a plea for just and kind feeling between Jew and Christian , as well as for political equality . The compiler ( for so much of it is quotation that we can scarcely say author ) has collected testimonies to charity from many quarters , and cast them , like oil , on the waters of contention . We wish his good intentions success ; bul the spirit of political monopoly will not be laid without a fierce and bitter struggle .

    Thanks to C . P . The Editor requests that all letters for him may be directed to 67 , Paternoster-row . "We must think our friend J . Y . rather unreasonable . With all our love for freedom of discussion , ve cannot undertake to become the printers aud distributors of opinions opposed to our own , or make our journal the mere vehicle of controversial correspondence . He has protested , rather than argued , against our view of the Poor Law BUI , and the fact of hit protest is hereby recorded .
