would be likely in his regular school-reading. The author states that the two narratives were written with the object of showing that military fame is neither the most desirable nor enduring, and to correct the taste for war so prevalent among the youth of our country;-a very sensible purpose, that we hope may be duly rewarded, and that he may not have cause to think the tine mis-spent in their compilation.

notice articles entitled "Correspondence between Mira beau and Count de la Marck," "Widow-Burning," "Lyell on Life and its Successive Development," "Papal Pretensions," and "Revolutionary Literature." The last paper is headed with a list of twenty-one works, published within a year or two, and especially selected for condemnatory criticism by this High Tory journal. We mention the article particularly, as we judge that, from the strictures of the reviewer, may be gleaned some interest

Hungary is duly represented in the November number of this periodical. In addition to the spirited verses from the pen of William Ross Wallace, which we quote below, it contains a well-written prose article of some fifteen or twenty pages, entitled "Louis Kossuth and his Country." "Imagination and Fact" is a sprightly paper, and "Evenings with Some Female Poets" a pleasant conversational criticism.

"MASS FOR THE HUNGARIANS.

"Alone and in darkness I chanted their mass,-
The mass that a poet should roll

For the brave who have fallen in Liberty's pass,
Through the shadowy aisles of his soul.
The shades of old heroes were kneeling around;
TELL, WASHINGTON, EMMET were there;
Their brows were with Liberty's aureoles bound,
And their broad, spectral banners waved out without
sound

On the funeral breath of the air.

"Alone and in darkness I chanted their mass:
But shall that be the only one said?

Is it thus they shall slumber in Liberty's pass?
No! a grander mass still for the Dead!
Then again will the shades of those heroes appear:
Not soundless their banners shall wave;
But, like thunder-storms bursting on Tyranny's bier,
They shall blaze, while the Austrian is trembling with
fear,

And KOSSUTH avenges the Brave.

"The tapers that light up that terrible mass
Shall the fagots of battle-flames be;

Its organ, the cannon in Liberty's pass,
Roaring down from the ranks of the free;
The priests are fair Liberty's soldiers, who stand
On their soil which they swear to redeem:
Oh! never was mass for a mortal so grand,
As that to be rolled over Hungary's land

By the blood-dripping bayonet's gleam!

"Then rest, heroes! rest with the heroes of old!
We trample in scorn on the lie,

That for Faction your glorious banners unrolled:
For Freedom alone did ye die!

Yes, rest, heroes, rest! Every zephyr that sweeps
O'er the battle-field murmurs your fame:
Oh, yet shall your monuments soar on the steeps
Of your own beloved Hungary, saved from the deeps
Where the Tyrant would bury her name!"

WESTMINSTER REVIEW. New York: LEONARD SCOTT & Co., 79 Fulton Street.

We have received from W. B. Zieber the reprint of the October number of this excellent Quarterly. The articles, nine in number, are distinguished for their ability. The first, on "Western Africa," derives double value from the fact that we have rare opportunities of gaining accurate and reliable information from that quarter of the globe. The manners and customs of the people, their social institutions, and advancement of civilization, constitute a subject of the greatest interest to the philanthropists of the age. The Review paper contains much that is deserving of attention, and that may assist in removing the erroneous impressions current respecting the actual condition of the natives.

THE LONDON ART-JOURNAL FOR NOVEMBER. New York: GEO. VIRTUE.

Contains by way of embellishment, two more of the series of engravings from pictures belonging to the Vernon Gallery. Our readers are already aware that the collection known by that name was formed by its patriotic proprietor, solely from the works of the most talented artists of his own country, and presented by him to the nation, as an addition to the great collection in the National Gallery. The two prints referred to, are after Stanfield, the marine painter, and Linnell, the landscape artist, being representations of the "Battle of Trafalgar." and "Wood-cutting in Windsor Forest." There is also a stipple plate of Schwanthaler's celebrated bronze statue of "Bavaria," which was inaugurated in 1850, and is of colossal proportions. It occupies an elevated plain, overlooking the city of Munich, and is itself fifty-four feet high, standing on a pedestal of thirty feet in height. An article by Mrs. Hall, of her series of" Pilgrimages to English shrines," is interesting, and pleasingly embellished; and the number contains the usual variety on Art and Art Manufactures, together with the continua tion of illustrated articles on the old masters, examples of German art (mere dry imitation mostly), review of art-progress, &c., &c. This publication has now reached a monthly circulation of 30,000 copies.

CECILIA HOWARD; or the Young Lady who had finished her Education. By T. S. ARTHUR. Philadelphia: T. B. PETERSON, 98 Chestnut Street. This is an original novel, in pamphlet form. of some eighty-eight pages, published at 25 cents. It is a record of every-day people and every-day life, very far removed from the walks of romance in style and incident. I.ke all of Mr. Arthur's productions, it can be safely recommended to young readers for its strictly moral tendency.
