We were noi, bois. ever, prepared for the appearance of a work so elaborale and beautiful as this now under our notice. 'Two large quarto vo Jumes devoled to the history and topography of the United States, is no trivial undertaking. Again, the embellishments of these volumes are of the most costly character. There are no fewer than eighty engravings, comprising some of the most magnificeut bays, rivers, raptus, waterialis, mountains, precipices, buildings, &c. &c. within this vast republic. Thus exhibiting a kind of coup d'eil, at once sublime and splendid, of its natural and aruficial features. " The composition of the Work is easy, logical, and correct. The sentiments breathed throughout do credit alike to the lead and heart of Mr. Howard Hinton. The first volume, which devoted to the history of the colonists from their settlement on the barren rocks of New England, or among the swamps of uncultivated Virginia, to their present state of prosperity, details a series of hardships endured, of Christian boldness and rigour in the pursuit of that which they deemed to be their birthright, such as the world has never witnesed. How lamentable to be compelled to add, thal, ha ing established their own rights, they could turn round and perscctile their dissenung brethren! But the rights of conscience were then dimly understood; and all, as they attained power, persecuted in their turn. We will make one quotation merely for the purpose of introducing the boid pro. phecy it contains. It is taken from the first rolule; the one is When the assembled deputies began the work of declaring the independence of America. "The course of time has now brought us to the decisive hour, when a new empire, or a character the most extraoplinary, springs into being. The world has known no rest since this grand confederacy took her rank among the nations of the earih; her example infused a power into the principles of liberty which for nearly two centuries had been dormant : although in another hemisphere, it has exercised more influence on the sale of the public mind in Europe than did the great struggle in the days or our commonweallit, and the world will know rest no more till, under whatever form, the great lessons of freedom which American history enforces have been listened to and embodied in action by every nation of the globe.' " Let the coup d'ail of Europe be displayed before the reflecting mind, -let ils present stale be contrasted with the various periods of ten, twenty, thirly, furty, and fifty years back, and iben, strong as the language is, where, we ask, in the politician who will ware to affirm the negative of our autbor's position !"

It is scarcely necessary to insist on the great and varied interest which a collection of the best Pieces in History, Sacred Story, Portrait, Landscape, &c. &c. (yet carefully excluding all objectionable Subjects) musi permanently possers, particularly as a Table-book for the Family circle. It cannot be doubted that the appearance of such a Work, free from the errors of former undertakings, as to unnecessary buik-a slowness of progress incompatible with the wish for variety-and, to many, a prohibitory price, will be welcome-but in the present day, few Works are admitted to be of framel utility if not so decidedly cheap as to admit of general circulation. Whilst, therefore, the Publisher, whose zeal is well known, is determined that the mere price of a Monthly Magazine, with the same facilities of delivery, shali present the world with a valuable Treasury of Art, it is confdently anticipated that the extent of demand, which could only be met by Engravings on Steel, will aferd that moderate remuneration, which, though otherwise quite impossible, sball but stimulate to renewed exertion throughout the undertaking.
