The Interior of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, London. Painted by John Harwood; engraved by William Woolnoth. Published by John Harwood. WITH no pretension to higher qualities than simplicity and clearness, this is a bold, luminous, and well-engraved representation of a portion of our noble metropolitan cathedral. The introduction of the procession of the installation of the present Bishop of Winchester to the deanery of St. Paul's is very appropriate. The Pug-ilists. Time!!! Engraved by C. MR.

He added afterwards, by his own unassisted efforts, some acquaintance with Italian literature. If, at this font of learning, Greek and Latin were partially imbibed, the "well" of English poetry or prose was wholly "undefiled" by students' lips. There prevailed an absurd notion, that English was best taught through the medium of the Latin Grammar; and Lindley Murray was voted useless.

The only delinquent, within the writer's memory, was Neele. He displayed no extraor dinary application to study, no talent for mathematical or other science,-but he evinced an early inclination for poetry; and he wrote, at that period, unnoticed but not unnoticing, verses which would bear a comparison with those of the most precocious poet on record. His genius was purely lyrical, and Collins was his chief model. The Ode to Enthusiasm (the earliest of his printed poems) contains more natural images, and natural expression, than are ordinarily found in the productions of a boy of fifteen. Neele's father, a man of fair natural talents, had the discernment to perceive, and the good taste to encourage, his son's genius. The Odes and other Poems, published in 1817, were printed at his expense. On quitting school, Mr. Neele was articled to an attorney; and though at times he penned a stanza when he should engross," he nevertheless, we believe, did not neglect the opportunities afforded of obtaining experience in his profession. At a later period, he practised as a solicitor in Great Blenheim Street. In 1821, the Odes and Poems were reprinted, with a frontispiece, and attracted much notice from Dr. Drake and other critics of repute. Our author then began to be sought after by booksellers, and became a regular contributor to Magazines, Forget-Me-Not, &c. &c. The great success that had attended the Dramatic Scenes of Barry Cornwall gave rise to the composition of Poems, Dramatic and Mis. cellaneous, published in 1823. Mr. Neele had evidently no talent for dramatic poetry. His Dramatic Sketches contain many beautiful images, HENRY NEELE, son of the late respectable and much pure and excellent sentiment; but map and heraldic engraver, was born January the personages rather improvise than con29, 1798, at the house of his father in the verse.

Halidon Hill does no credit to the Author of Waverley; and we recollect to have read an avowal of Lord Byron's, that, with all his ambition, he felt he could not succeed as a dramatist.

The narratives themselves are highly attractive, teeming with interest, and interspersed with lively and characteristic dialogue. The idea was a happy one, and capable of almost boundless extent.

This work is especially adapted for the use of academical students, candidates for holy orders, ministers, and all who have any knowledge of the original Greek. It has been the endeavour of the author to establish the true sense, not only by a diligent use of the most eminent modern commentators, but by exploring the fountain-heads of interpretation found in the ancient Fathers and Greek Commentators. Every apposite iliustration of phraseo-mies, in Spain, Portugal, and the South of France, from 1808 to logy or sentiment to be found, on a laborious examination of the 1814. By the Author of "Cyril Thornton." immense collectanea, both of the classical and rabbinical illustrators, has been selected. The very valuable materials derived moulded into one Corpus Eregeseos, in which each portion is, as far as possible, ascribed to its respective author, and the foreign matter (for the first time) translated into English. With the whole is interwoven a series of critical remarks, intended to ring interpretations; and a copious body of original annotations, in which the true reading is, in all important cases, discussed, the connexion traced, the course of reasoning indicated, and, in general, whatever seemed necessary to complete the Corpus The value of Dr. Goldsmith's Abridgment of the History Exegeseos has been supplied by the editor, who has further consulted the convenience of students, by forming a series of glossa-known and universally acknowledged; but, as his narrative conof England, as a class-book for the use of schools, has been long rial notes, and giving a new literal translati rial notes, and giving a new literal translation and close para- cludes at the death of George II. and as some of the most importFrom the vast extensiveness of plan, and wide scope of research, ant occurrences in the annals of England have taken place since in the above elaborate work, it is manifest that it presents by that period, the Proprietors and Publishers of this little work, in far the most valuable body of exegetical matter ever yet laid nuation, in which the record of events is brought down to the order to render it as complete as possible, have subjoined a Contibefore the public, and comprehends whatever is essential to the present day. With the same view, they have had the text so interpretation of the New Testament. thoroughly revised, that it may be said, in some parts, to have been entirely re-written. Several errors which had crept into former editions are removed; the exercises are at once simplified an outline of the British Constitution. To render this historical abridgment still better fitted for the use of schools, the paragraphs in every chapter and section are so divided, that each contains some important facts; and so numerically marked as to correspond with the exercises, which have been compiled from the pupil to acquire a distinct knowledge of the successive events to which his attention is directed, and thereby to fix them more deeply in his memory than could be accomplished by perusing a work in which such a systematic method is not observed. As the exercises contain a summary review of the whole history in the interrogatory form, and as the proper answers to them can only be found by consulting the paragraphs in every chapter or section, the reader is necessarily led to examine with greater minuteness the different parts of the narrative, which will thus be so indelibly impressed upon his mind, that they are not likely to be soon effaced. Such being the nature of the improvements which have been introduced into this edition, the Publishers hope that the work will be found better calculated than it has hitherto been for facilitating to students of all ages the acquisition of a competent knowledge of English history, Printed for C. and J.
