WORKS IN PRESS.

C. EWER and T. H. CARTER have in press, and will soon publish TODD'S JOHNSON'S DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, as abridged by Chalmers, and Walker's Pronouncing Dictionary, united; to which is added, Walker's Key to the Classical Pronunciation of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names. Edited by J. E. WORCESTER.

This Dictionary will comprise Walker's introductory treatise on the "Principles of English Pronunciation" entire, and all his Remarks on the pronunciation of individual words.

In Chalmers' Abridgment, the many thousand words added by Mr. Todd are not distinguished from those given in Dr. Johnson's Dictionary; but in the work now printing, the words added by Todd are all carefully discriminated; and the pronunciation of these also, is marked according to Walker's Principles.

MATINS AND VESPERS; with HYMNS and OCCASIONAL DEVOTIONAL PIECES. BY JOHN BOWRING. First American, from the Second London Edition. 18mo. pp. 251.

The Second English Edition of this little book was published in 1824, and, considering its intrinsic excellence and the numerous class of persons likely to be interested and benefited by such a work, it is somewhat surprising that it has not yet been republished in this country.

The pieces entitled "Matins and Vespers," fifty-six in number, are adapted to the morning and evening of each day in the week, for four weeks, one in each of the four seasons of the year; and the tone of feeling and the imagery are varied accordingly. These, as well as the "Hymns and other Devotional Pieces," which form the rest of the volume, are partly original, and partly translations and imitations.

It is not extravagant to say, that so much good Devotional Poetry, for private reading, is hardly to be found in any other single volume in the language; and though the different pieces have various degrees of poetical merit, they are nearly all free from those positive offences against good taste, which are so apt to abound in this class of compositions.

Published every month, for the Proprietors, by BOWLES & DEARBORN, at the Office of the United States Review and Literary Gazette, No 72, Washington Street, Boston, and by G. & C. CARVILL, No. 108, Broadway, New York. Terms, five dollars per annum.

REVIEW.

The Novels of CHARLES BROCKDEN BROWN;" Wieland," "Arthur Mervyn,' "Ormond," "Edgar Huntly," "Jane Talbot," and Clara Howard." With a Memoir of the Author. Boston. S. G. Goodrich. 1827. 6 vols. 12mo.

TWENTY odd years have been allowed to pass before even an imperfect edition of the works of fiction of our long unrivalled novelist is given to the public. Yet nearly the whole of that time Brown has been alone; for no one approached the height he rested on, till the author of the "Pioneers" and "Pilot" appeared. Like his own Clithero, he lay stretched in moody solitude, the waters of the noisy world rolling blindly on around him, and a wide chasm open between him and his fellow men. In 1815, Mr. Dunlap gave us a life of him; an ill arranged and bulky work, yet too meagre where it should be particular and full. To this, however, we are indebted for all we know of Brown's life; and we owe to it also an article on Brown, which appeared in the North American Review for 1819; an article which, we fear, has left us little to say.

Mr. Dunlap's Life of our author was not of a character to be much read; and it was, after all, perhaps, in this case, as it has been in some others, chiefly to England that Brown was indebted for his coming into general notice at home. It is true that his stories were to be found amongst the shabby editions of works which go to make up a circulating library, and that some of them were occasionally read; but excepting his personal acquaintance, few or none knew or cared whether he was an Englishman or a Laplander; whether he was living, whether he had died a natural
