rage seven tons; which is nearly equal to eightythree pounds per bushel. Mr. John Donkin stated, that a coal-merchant had sent a supply, which on measuring was found to afford only seventy-three and one-third pounds to the bushel; on being informed of this, he sent an additional quantity to make up seventy-nine pounds to the bushel; under the impression of that being the proportion fixed by the act. Mr. J. Donkin had seen a quantity of Bean coals weighed, and the proportion amounted to sixty-six pounds per bushel. Jan. 31.-The President in the chair.-The comparative advantages of hot water, air, and steam for heating purposes, being again taken into consideration Mr. Cottam said, that no experiments had been tried hitherto, by which could be ascertained the quantity of fuel necessary to produce a given temperature on the pipe, or in the atmosphere of a room which was heated by its means. He thought it very desirable that a statement of the relative consumption of fuel should be obtained, as, in some observations on the performance of a hot-water apparatus attached to a pinery, that consideration was overlooked. He could state one instance of a house that he had fitted up with a set of hot water pipes, by which a saving of one third was effected in the consumption of fuel; here, however, the flue, which was in use previously, had been of faulty construction; this, therefore, ought not to be considered as decisive. He stated, that no beneficial effect was produced by leading the flue from the fire, along the brick-wall; there was no apparent increase of temperature in the house. Mr. Sibley described a hot-water apparatus he had fitted up, which warms several rooms, boils a cistern, and heats a bath on the top of his house; this is managed by a boiler being placed behind the kitchen fire, and which, in fact, forms the back of the kitchen range; from this, a common two inch gas pipe is conducted round the rooms to the top of the house, a height of fifty feet, and returned to the boiler. He stated, that although considerable heat must be withdrawn from the fire by this apparatus, and the consumption of fuel probably increased, yet no inconvenience was felt from its operation. Mr. Walker mentioned a circumstance which he thought worthy of consideration as an important use of steam, which might be made applicable in some situations. A large cotton mill having taken fire, a steam pipe was cut through by mistake, under the expectation of finding water; and the rush of steam, filling the room, had the effect of completely extinguishing the flames. Mr. Walker also observed, that the first who made use of water for heating purposes, was the ingenious Mr. Murdoch, many years foreman to Messrs. Bolton & Watt, of Soho. Among the many inventions of this excellent mechanic, he thought one, which he brought into practical use, very characteristic. Having been sent into Cornwall by Mr. Watt many years ago, to superintend the erection of some steam-engines, he invented a kind of lantern to lighten his way homewards in the dark nights, of a very novel construction at that time. He collected in a bladder a quantity of gas from the engine fire, and, the bladder being provided with a stopcock and nozzle, he was in the habit of walking home with it under his arm, and by a slight pressure emitted sufficient to afford him a brilliant light all the way-to the great terror of the Country people, who attributed his invention to an intercourse with the powers of the other world. being furnished from Staffordshire, by Messrs. The maximum strength of the iron one inch square and three feet long, was therefore ten hundred two quarters. The eighteen inch experiment showed the strength to be inversely as the length very nearly. Feb. 7.-The President in the chair.-Mr. William Billinton was elected an Associate. The comparative advantages of hot water, air, and steam, for heating purposes, being again taken into consideration Mr. Turrell observed, that he had been in the practice for many years, of heating his office with a hot-air stove; it was found to create an unpleasant smell, and the atmosphere of the room eventually proved extremely hurtful to the lungs. He adopted a plan of evaporating a portion of water during the whole of the time the stove was in operation, thereby keeping up a proper degree of moisture in the atmospheric air: this removed every injurious effect which was before observable. Mr. Field said, his offices were heated by means of steam pipes, and that it created a most unpleasant smell, accompanied by a feeling of oppression on the lungs. He thought the hot water pipes preferable, on account of the greater uniformity of temperature which was afforded, and always of a very moderate degree: that from steam pipes, on the contrary, was always high, and more difficult to regulate. Mr. Clegg has been employed to correct the unpleasant smell, created by the air in coming in contact with the red-hot surface of iron stoves. He adopted a method of covering the stove with a kind of glazed tiles, which was found to be very effective. cotton-mill, in which it was found impracticable to spin any fine description of thread, on account of the state of the atmosphere, produced by the artificial heat. A scientific man gave as his opinion, that a deficiency of moisture affected the electrical condition of the atmosphere, and was the cause of the difficulty of working the cotton into fine thread. Mr. Hawkins was of opinion that the oppressive feeling spoken of, was more to be attributed to the circumstance Mr. Hawkins had known an instance of a of a supply of moisture being necessary for conducting the electricity from the human body, than to the fact of the air being burnt or decomposed. The limits of the mechanical force exerted by cast iron, when expanded by heat, being taken into consideration Mr. Palmer observed, that his attention had been drawn of late to the very great extent to which cast iron is made applicable to bridge building; but more particularly to the fact of its sustaining the weight of large heavy buildThe strength of cast iron, being taken into con-ings, on a small extent of bearing surface. He sideration, Mr. Walker stated, that in order to thought it worthy of inquiry, whether the exprove the quality of the cast iron chairs, now pansion and contraction of the metal, caused a OPENING OF THE ARCHEOLOGICAL ACADEMY, SOCIETY OF VIRTUOSI. Rome, 19th January. THE Pontifical Academy of Archæology was opened here this day week, in the great hall of the Università dell Sapienza. The ceremony began with an admirable discourse on the uses of Archaeology, as subordinate to human learning, both sacred and profane, delivered by N. M. Nicolai, the President of the Academy. He divided his discourse into two portions; the first, tracing the history of the Roman Academy of Antiquities, which was set on foot by the celebrated Pomponio Leto, and inaugurated by Pope Benedict the Fourteenth, and bringing its progress down to modern times, when it was cemented by an annual endowment bestowed by the immortal Canova, and subsequently by the munificence of Popes Pius the Seventh and Leo the Twelfth, as well as the present Pontiff, who has provided suitable accommodation for its meetings and museum in the Archi-gymnasium of this city. In the second portion of his discourses he enlarged on the intimate connexion which subsists between sacred and profane learning, and the study of antiquities, as well as the arts of design. Some of the most distinguished personages in this capital were present; amongst others, Cardinal Giustiniani and Cardinal Zurla. The Society of Virtuosi, held at the Pantheon, which was instituted during the pontificate of Paul the Third, have just elected Camuccini, (considered the best Roman painter of the present day,) as their president, and the Cav. Folchi, as vice-president. A new edition of their Statutes, to which is prefixed a plate from the graver of Fontana, one of the members of the society, was distributed on this occasion. MUSIC KING'S THEATRE. On Saturday last Madame la Contessa Lazise made her début in Otello.' It would be unreasonable to expect that any lady, however highly gifted, could, on a first attempt, sing and act the part of Desdemona to the entire satisfaction of an audience accustomed to witness Pasta, Malibran, or Sontag in the same character. The audience, however, frequently evinced their sympathy, and courteously bestowed their applause on every possible opportunity. The Contessa's person is dignified and graceful, and her manner lady-like and most interesting. Her voice is thin but flexible, and harsh in the upper notes. Altogether, her singing was better than we expected; but, for | her own sake, as well as for the interest of the manager, La Contessa should not again venture "nella prima sfera d'una prima donna," where amusement is so dearly paid for as at the King's Theatre. To our taste, Signor Winter sang and played the part of Otello better than either Donzelli or Curioni-with less apathy than the latter, and more equality than the former, and twice the musical skill of both. Signor Calveri, the new second tenor, was a very respectable Iago; with a weak voice, this Signor, like Winter, in natural compass, pounces most vigorously on A, or B flat, and gave effect to many beauties which had hitherto escaped us: both singers were warmly applauded in the tender and expressive andante of the duetto "Non m'inganni." Signor Curioni's was, as usual, good, bad, and indifferent in turns. It would be improper to judge the amiable Signora Albertini, who condescended to appear in a secondrate part, although some of our contemporaries think the character quite equal to her ability: to-night she makes, what the Opera folks call, her"début proper."-Fudge! Mariani vociferated most lustily. This bass singer might be softened down to good effect; for the quality of his voice is rich, he sings correctly in time and tune, and has sufficient flexibility to be generally useful. We shrewdly suspect that this is the identical person we once met at the San Carlo, who, in a conversation on musical taste, satirically remarked that, "GI' Inglesi amano la voce forte," meaning thereby, that the English like bellowing; and he seems inclined to test his own theory. In the finale of the first act, where Desdemona is cursed by her father and falls prostrate and insensible at his feet, we had evidence of the truth of our former remarks on the absence of all unity of sentiment between the singers and the chorus-"Ah! che giorno d'orrore!" was given with much the same feeling as the opening chorus in 'La Gazza Ladra,' Ah che giorno fortunato!" However, on the whole, the opera was well performed, and the stage decorations and dresses were better than we ever remember to have seen them. 66 We regret to say, that no sooner had we complimented Mr. Mason on what we thought a great improvement, than we have occasion to observe a departure from it; and Mori, Lindley, Dragonetti, and others, already quit the orchestra after the Opera-this is returning to the old and absurd English musical aristocratic distinction. ALL these causes have been tried during the present week, and it has become our duty to report on the effects. Comparisons are said to be odious, and physic is known to be disagreeable, yet the one must sometimes be made, and the other must occasionally be taken. It appears that, in consequence of Meyerbeer's opera of Robert le Diable' having been "received with the greatest success" (as the Drury Lane bills would say) in Paris, ambassadors were sent from the two royal houses of England to treat with the composer for his copyright. Mr. Monck Mason, however, the lessee of the Opera House, was before-hand, or rather before-foot, with both, and they, failing to procure a copyright, returned to try what they could do with a copywrong. The squabbles thus produced between Mr. Mason and his brother lessees we must leave to be tried elsewhere. What we have to consider is, not who has been done, or what has been done, but how it has been done. We are inclined to suspect that the amount, whatever it may be, given by Mr. Mason for the copyright of the opera, will not come back to him over and above the expenses of getting it out; but Time, the great showman, will, we suppose, explain this to us, for there can be no doubt that the more Mr. Mason has been done himself the more anxious will he be to do the opera. In making our little jokes about do and done, we beg to guard against being supposed to disparage the music of Meyerbeer, which has evidently much merit, and which may prove to have more when it shall be heard fairly with his own accompaniments at the Opera House. To this final ordeal we commend Robert le Diable,' merely observing generally, in the meantime, that we think that a leetle too much noise has been made about it, that the puff-trumpet preliminary has been somewhat too freely blown, and that (as the Jew said in the thunderstorm) too much fuss" has been made about that which, after all, is but a moderate sized piece of pork." DRURY LANE. The title here chosen, is 'The Dæmon; or, the Mystic Branch.' The plot (such as it is) is too well known, to need detailing, and, besides, we said all that it was necessary to say, some time since, when speaking of the Adelphi. The piece, as here done, does not call for any particular comment. Restricted by the succession of the music, to a close adherence to the dull original, the author, or rather, we believe, authors, have attempted little more than a translation, and, therefore, the result is only what might have been expected. The extreme difficulty of fitting English words to foreign music, has not been very felicitously surmounted, but great allowances ought always to be made in such cases, and those who think otherwise, had better take a long German or French scena, and try their pen at it. We undertake to say, that conviction will precede translation. The first chorus of knights carousing, is lively and spirited, and starts one with expectations, which are not afterwards realized. The historical ballad which follows, was correctly sung by Mr. Templeton, and a good effect is produced, by the burthen being repeated in chorus by the surrounding knights. We cannot follow the music step by step, without taking our readers a much longer walk than they would enjoy. There are ever and anon, pleasing bits of melody, and clever modulations, but the individual pieces are generally too long, and there is not, upon the whole, to our thinking, sufficient novelty, to justify the talk which has been raised. Mrs. Wood was in excellent voice, and the brilliancy and precision of her execution, threw a charm, and even an interest over very many passages, which, in themselves, are much more distinguished by difficulty than meaning. Mr. Wood appeared to labour not only under a cold, but under his music. It does not suit him. He is a very delightful ballad-singer, but at present, his knowledge of music is not sufficient, to enable him to grapple with, and subdue such as belongs to his part in this opera. Mr. H. Phillips played the Dæmon very fairly, and his singing was as usual, correct and pure. It is a great point both for managers and audience, to have him in the part, and we have only to wish, that he was rewarded, by having some one song in it, which it would be pleasant and profitable to himself to sing. We much regret the impossibility of according any praise to Miss Ayton. At the same time, we wish we could teach English audiences, that hissing, which is the capital punishment of the theatrical code, ought never to be inflicted for any offence, short of one against public decency. Absence of applause, is at once more manly, and more effectual-for where the punishment is disproportioned to the crime, the feelings of the considerate are sure to be enlisted on the side of the offender. We know not in what terms to speak of Mr. Stanfield's two scenes, The Rocks of St. Irenius,' and 'The ruined Abbey of St. Rosalie.' The first is a magnificent painting, and the effects produced in the second, are equal to anything we remember to have seen at the Diorama. In short, these two works of art, and the singing of Mrs. Wood, are, perhaps, the only stage exhi bitions, which set even Drury Lane puffing at defiance. The tableaux at the end of the first and third acts, are not so good, nor is the lighting them so well managed, as at the Adelphi. In the Abbey scene even, we have nothing to praise, but Mr. Stanfield's part of the work. We were not aware, until we read the silly puff in the bills next day, that this gentleman painted The Resuscitation of the Nuns.' This resuscitation is described in the said puff, as "appal. ling." If this is true, we think that the audience were extremely thoughtless to laugh as they did. As a whole, the opera was lengthy and heavy, and considerable disapprobation was expressed; the applause, however, predominated, and it will doubtless run for a time, though not perhaps for long. Its best chance is, in the curiosity to be excited, by the rivalry with other houses. COVENT GARDEN. "Talk of the Devil," and he seems sure to appear at every house in London. While Drury Lane was making its regular approaches amidst the roar of heavy puffing on all sides-Covent Garden was silently and carefully undermining, and no sooner had the one, as it imagined, carried the town, than the other sprung its mine, and threw all into confusion. The opinion which we had formed of the music, was confirmed by a rehearing at this house on Tuesday. More noise has been made about it than it deserves; but it is impossible to deny that, with the exceptions of Mrs. Wood and Mr. Stanfield, Covent Garden has decidedly the best of the struggle. The plot is better made out-the music quite as judiciously arranged, (and considering that Mr. Bishop did it for Drury Lane, this is highly complimentary to Mr. Lacy)—the scenery taken altogether, is more dramatic and effective the singing more equal-the acting better-and, the properties and appointments more splendid and more correct. The assemblage of the knights of different nations with their attendants, was the most martial and most chivalric exhibition we ever remember on the stage. Then the clever and equal singing of Miss Inverarity and Miss Shireff, gave the house a decided advantage over the other, where the surpassing excellence of Mrs. Wood only served to make Miss Ayton's deficiencies more painfully conspicuous—and finally, we had here the great advantage of Mr. Braham's presence and exertions. Mr. Reynoldson acted the part of the Fiend very well, though his performance is unequal. He seemed not to have quite made up his mind as to the course he would take. He cannot now fail to know which of the two styles in which he indulged was the most effective, and if he will adhere to that throughout, he will most probably find his account in it. The singing would, perhaps, have been better in the hands (or rather throat) of Mr. Morley. The opera at this house was much better received by the audience than at Drury Lane, though here also, some disapprobation was occasionally expressed at Mr. Keeley's part, which did not come out so comically as the author intended, or as Mr. Keeley would have been sure to make it, if opportunity had been afforded him. This must be curtailed, and so must a great deal of the music. The scene of the 'Cloisters of St. Rosalie,' cannot, as a painting, be compared to that at Drury Lane, but all the business-part of it was managed better, and the scene itself was very effective. We cannot, however, even here accord the epithet of " appalling," which belongs exclusively to the Adelphi, where the hurried, huddling, and excellent grouping of the dead nuns, as the stage sank with them, was, to our eyes, truly so. We should not omit to notice in terms of warm commendation, the appearance through the stage of the Spirit of Fire. It was at once novel and ingenious. We take our leave of the Devil at both houses, hoping, but doubting, that it will repay them for the outlay. OLYMPIC THEATRE. A new burletta was produced here on Wednesday, called The Proof of the Pudding.' We are not accustomed to look for much plot in these trifles, and though they are always the better for having it, they will frequently, if smartly written, and well acted, pass off pleasantly enough without it. In the present instance the deficiency of the one is not compensated for by the efficiency of the other, and the result is, a piece which is free from offence, but equally free from recommendation. The fun is but chill fun, and the audience had some difficulty in getting their laughing tackle in motion. A French cook is to get an appointment if he succeeds in producing the best dish at the ambassador's table. His art is, consequently, brought to bear upon a ragout. A young girl, between whom and the cook's son a marriage is on the tapis, makes a pudding for the use of herself and her friends. By some means the ragout is carried off, and the pudding, which the cook has christened a dirt pie, because he did not understand how to make it, is sent to the ambassador instead. The ambassador's palate is tickled, and directions given that a similar pudding should be sent to table next day. The cook is in a dilemma, he cannot make the pudding, and rather than lose his appointment, he is obliged to forego his family pride, and consent to his son's marriage with a girl who brings no dower with her but a good receipt for a pudding. Now, really, can we be said to be unreasonable in expecting something more than this for the foundation of even a one act burletta? The cook, an ultra enthusiast in his art, was cleverly played by Mr. J. Bland, who enlivened the part with a good imitation of Mr. Macready. Miss Pincott did what little she had to do very well, but much cannot be made of a part which only consists in making a pudding; and Mrs. Glover said the few words allotted to her as well as they could be said. The audience did not seem to relish the pudding so much as they were informed the ambassador did, but they swallowed it, and we don't think it was heavy enough to disagree with them. York MISCELLANEA Burns' Anniversary. "They manage things better"-everywhere. We see by the New papers, that our American friends did honour to the memory of Burns, and the meeting seems only to have been right social and becoming-there was neither jobbing nor politics to spoil men's temper. A song was written for the occasion, and if not perfection, it must have been pleasanter than having just complaints drowned by the noise of a bag-pipe.-We rejoice to say, that the stewards, who thought only to look on and play the patrons, are now called on to make good a whip of one hundred pounds! Greece.The National Congress, which opened its session at Argos, on the 18th of December, has decreed the erection of three funeral pyramids in honour of Capo d'Istrias, the late President of Greece. They are to bear an in- | scription, handing down "the murderers of the father of his country to the execration of afterages." The sites on which they are to be raised are Egina, Tyrinth, and Missolonghi; and for one hundred years to come the anniversary of his assassination is to be observed as a day of public mourning. State of Crime in France. It is computed that one in every 4460 individuals, is annually brought to trial in France for some criminal act; and that, out of 101 persons tried, 61 are on the average condemned. The murders committed in France during four years, were as follows:-241 in 1826; 234 in 1827; 227 in 1828; and, 231 in 1829. The tendency to crime is greatest, in the male sex, at the age of five and twenty; but, in the female, it is said to prevail most at the more advanced period of thirty. A seat in the French Academy has become vacant by the death of M. L'Abbé de Montes quiou; no less than fifteen persons, it is said, wish to fill it. Algiers.-The French are rapidly taking root in this colony-the commercial intercourse with Marseilles has increased tenfold since the beginning of last year; a weekly paper is just started, entitled the Moniteur Algerien, French and Arabic-and the merchants have just given a grand ball to the civil and military colonial authorities, in which the French were flattered by the whole affair being got up quite in their own style-even the Moorish edifice was converted into French with becoming splendour for the occasion, and the ladies in French costume contrasted strikingly with the fair Jewesses in their peculiar dress. The Icelandic Code of Laws.-Europe is indebted to Raske, Rafu, Oehlenschlager, and other Danish scholars, for much interesting information relating to Scandinavian literature and northern mythology, and latterly for a notice of "The Grágás," or Gray Goose. The "Grágás," or Gray Goose, is a collection of traditional laws compiled by Bergthor, Lögsömadr, or supreme judge of the island, in the beginning of the eleventh century; though this code was subsequently revised and enriched with additional institutes, Bergthor's labours form its corner stone. It contains intrinsic evidence of a high antiquity, as witness the very headings of some of its sections, amongst which we may quote that "of whales or white bears, such as are tamed and supply the services of dogs." There is much of a heathen origin too in the marriage code, and especially where ceremonials are in question; the bride, for instance, is purchased at a price, and, in accordance with the ancient practice of the East, the wife, where she is suspected of going astray, is called upon to undergo the ordeal of red-hot iron. Independently of pecuniary mulcts, the customary punishments are exile, for short or long periods, incarceration, and proscription. The exile's life was at every man's mercy, though he might, as was customary among heathen nations, purchase remission of his sentence by slaying three brother exiles of desperate character. The offender's property was confiscated, his marriage was dissolved, and even his children were accounted illegitimate. The severity of the punishment was glaringly aggravated by the comparative insignificance of the offences against which it was directed; for instance, a man was liable to be banished if he played at dice or any other game of chance for the sake of gain; if he cut off another person's hair; if he bit or struck a fellow creature, so as to raise blue spots on his skin; if he composed amatory strains on a married female; if he tore off his neighbour's bonnet, when fastened to his head; and if he treated him in a peculiarly gross manner, he became an utter cast-away, liable to be hunted down and dependent for his existence on the forbearance of his fellow-creatures. Charity covereth, &c.-Barlette, a Neapolitan monk, who stood in high vogue at the beginning of the fifteenth century, and was father to the new Italian word "Varlettare," as parent to the cant saying, "Non sa predicare chi non sa barlettare,"-favoured his auditory on one occasion with the following extraordinary admonition to the discharge of their Christian obligations:-"Vos quæritis à me, fratres carissimi, quomodo itur ad paradisum?

The Magazine now presented to the notice of the public, differs, in some important respects, FROM ANY AT PRESENT IN EXISTENCE. While its chief aim will be undoubtedly to diffuse sound religious and moral information, it does NOT seek to be EXCLU SIVELY THEOLOGICAL; but will embrace other topics connected almost directly with public improvement. The education of the poor, their moral and religious condition, and their temporal wants, are objects of paramount interest, at present, both to the religious man and the politician. The Magazine will, therefore, embrace accounts of the plans devised for the improvement of both the spiritual and temporal condition of the poor, whether by societies (with reports of their proceedings) or by individuals, and will be open to communication on these important points. On all these subjects, as well as on religious matters,-ON THE STATE OF THE CHURCH AND CLERGY, as well as of other religious bodies,-it will seek to present FACTS AND DOCUMENTS. And on this ground it will hope for the patronage of the lovers of truth in all parties, political and religions. For TRUTH, in most of the points here alluded to, is only to be known by the careful collection, and careful examination of DOCUMENTS. All, therefore, who wish to know the truth, must wish for documents; and no one, whatever be his party, can wish to shrink from the inferences to which he may be conducted by them, or fear that these faithful guides-if rightly used-will ever mislead him. With respect to the PRINCIPLES adopted in the Magazine, the Proprietors feel that they could not gain credit with reasonable men by professing that the management is entrusted to persons having no fixed opinions on matters so important as those which will be treated of; they have, therefore, no hesitation in stating, that the Magazine is in the hands of persons BELONGING TO THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND, nor in avowing their conviction, that while almost every sect has its journal, great advantage and convenience would arise to the members of the Church of England, if they, too, had theirs; that is to say, if they had a journal which should not SEEK for discussions of matters where churchmen differ; but rather give them a point of union on matters where they agree, and a means of promoting their common cause. But having said this, the Proprietors must add, that the Magazine will always be open to those who may wish to explain or defend themselves against any charges or accusations conveyed in its pages. They trust that THE CLERGY may find this Magazine an useful medium of communication on PROFESSIONAL matters, a medioni which seems to them at present to be much wanted. They will endeavour, as far as possible, to give full accounts of all Meetings held on Religious Matters, as well as those for Benevolent Purposes, reserving to the Editor the right of making brief comments on any points which he may deem of consequence in the speeches reported. For the ORIGINAL matter, they can only say that they are prepared to spare no expense for the purpose of engaging able Contributors, and they take this opportunity of inviting Contributions. In addition to the points already adverted to, they hope very frequently to present their readers with Biographies of Remarkable Religions Characters; and also with Records of the Manners, Feelings, and Habits of Students and Scholars, as well as of Divines and Religious Men of past times. In conclusion, they invite notice to the following list of subjects, which they intend to comprehend in their Miscellaneous Department. MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. 1. Notices of the olden time, in extracts from Original Letters, or curious and scarce Works. 2. Reviews of new Books. 3.

This work indicales talent; the dialogues are carried on with much spirit; and some of the characters, Lady Rachel, for example, are sketched with considerable tact."-Literary Gazette. Printed for James Cochrane and Co. 11, Waterloo-place. "We must conclude with professing it to be our judgment, that the author has furnished the world with a noble approximation to what is greatly needed-namely, an introductory mandal, which shall make our sons and daughters acquainted with the essential elements of their religion, without presenting it to their minds as a severe and oppressive task. The volume is broken up into the form of letters of a very manageable length, which may invite even a somewhat indolent reader to an occasional prosecution of the subject, and, almost imperceptibly, create an interest in it more lively and permanent, than could be accomplished by a work of more austere didactic formality." -British Critic, Jan. 1832.

"This is quite a literary curiosity, a novel-a work of amusement-issuing from such a source as Botany Bay. It is a tale of domestic interest, of which the scenes are principally laid in the country where it was printed."-Literary Gazette. "Quintus Servinton is a remarkable publication in several points of view; and, amongst its other merits, we suspect it to be an ower true tale. In truth, we think the author is the hero of his own story. The scenes have too much literalness about them to be the invention of any person. No man could, but what is more, no one would invent them. On the whole, this is no common book, and we hope that the various peculiarities attending its publication will recommend it to notice."-Spectator.
