    5 . "I Turner s Annual Tour ; the Seine .

    The Indian , in the American wilderness , delights to track a nVer to its source ; and we have here a proof of how much enjoyment may result from a similar expedition in the most civilized regions of Europe . Many persons may perhaps think the subject not well chosen , before they open the book ; few can think so afterwards . Other routes or rivers misrht have afforded much more of material for what is called the

    picturesque ; but we can scarcely imagine the production of a succession of more beautiful pictures . We would , however , advise the rambler who may be stimulated hereby to explore the course of the Seine for himself , to . be sure and bespeak Turner's moons for his voyage . It were better else to leave the engravings at home ; and in some cases to stay at home with them . Any way , Leitch Ritchie , who furnishes the printed prose to Turner ' s pictured poetry , will be found a most pleasant companion .

    Mornton . By Margaret Cullen . Fourth edition . The publication of the fourth edition of a novel , without any adventitious sources of popularity , may well exempt it from criticism . It may perhaps create another duty for the censor , and a not less useful one , viz M that of accounting for the phenomenon . The causes , in this case , ate by no means obvious . On commencing the perusal of c Mornton ,

    the dialogue certainly appeared to us sensible , but rather dull and trite ; and we felt a general lack of interest , both in character and incident . "About the middle of the first volume , however , we were roused by a critique on Southey ' s Life of Nelson ,-and on the character of Nelson himself , which abounds in truth , vigour , clearness , and courage . Many similar discussions , on various topics of importance , in morals , manners , politics , and literature , are interspersed through the work , and form , to our

    taste , its best portion . If we cannot always coincide in the sentiments of the Writer , we must yet do justice to their general soundness , purity , and useful tendency . Amongst other feelings which (] o her honour , she manifests , and portrays , in her heroine , a very strong one on the humane treatment of animals , which isoftenargumentarively , and sometimes affectfngly enforced . The interest of the narrative increases very much in the concluding volume , and the mental struggles of the heroine are depicted with a power which must find its way to the heart .
