      Men and Manners in Britain ; or , a Bone to Gnaw for the Trollope » Fidlers , Sfc . By Grant Thorburn , Seedsman , New York . We bcarcely know whether to take this book in jest or in earnest . Grant Thorburn , supposing his personal existence , is a most ignorant , conceited , vulgar , and altogether disgusting personage ; a compound of the worst parts of the Scotchman and the Yankee . If the book be a joke , it is a long and dull one . A few pages of retort on the TVollope tribe might have been very readable , but four and twenty chapters are beyond enjoyment or toleration . There was too much even of Knickerbocker .

      Cowpers Life and Works . Vol . 6 . Saunders and Otley To this volume is prefixed an Essay on the Genius and Poetry of Cowper , by the Rev . J . W . Cunningham . It is a pleasant introduction to the poems , not marked bymuch originality or acuteness , but presenting a sort of synopsis of the received criticisms on the bard of OJney . Although one of the quoted critiques be ascribed to the pen of the late Rev . Robert Hall , and another is from the Lectures of James

      Montgomery , we apprehend that a just and complete analysis of Cowper ' s poetical character yet remains to be made . The subject is worthy ox an accomplished critic . This volume appears out of course , the publication of the concluding volume of the Life and Letters being postponed . It prevents us with a specimen of the style in which Cowper ' s poetry will be brought out , which is such as to reflect great credit on the taste and liberality of the publishers , and confirms the claims they had previously established on the

      public generally , and especially on those religious classes whose admiration of Cowper ' s poetry is enhanced by their sympathy in hit religious views and feelings .
