"Travelling Journals," containing descriptions of his tours through Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Scotland, Rome, Naples, etc. etc., which are deeply interesting. Dr. Arnold was the author of numerous works, on Theology, History, and Philology. His miscellaneous productions were also very considerable.

11.—An Introduction to the History of the Revolt of the American Colonies. By GEORGE CHALMERS. 2 vols. Boston: J. Munroe & Co. 1845.

MR. CHALMERS was for a long period employed in the ministerial departments of England, where he would of course have access to all the public records which might not be permitted to others. Although full of partialities and prejudices against the American people, he has furnished a valuable work upon their history. The present publication is one of our author's later efforts. It covers the period of our colonial history from the granting of the first charter of Virginia to the reign of George III.

12.-Principles of Medical Jurisprudence, with so much of Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, and the Practice of Medicine and Surgery, as are essential to be known by Lawyers, Coroners, Magistrates, Officers of the Army, Navy, etc. By WILLIAM A. Guy, M. B., Physician to King's College Hospital, etc., etc. First American Edition, edited by C. A. LEE, M. D. New-York: Harper & Brothers. 1845.

DR. LEE has done eminent service to the medical and legal professions of the United States by the republication of this admirable work on medical jurisprudence. The extensive and valuable additions he has made to it from the highest American authorities, adapting it to the wants of the American student, will doubtless hereafter cause it to be regarded as a text-book in this country.

13.-Sparks' Letters on Episcopacy. Boston: James Munroe & Co. 1844.

THIS is a second edition, emanating from Charleston, of a controversial, theological work first published about twenty years ago. We read it when it first appeared, and, a second time, when the new edition was issued. Like all the works of its author, it is learned and able, and to those who agree with him in opinion, it is satisfactory. Its

recent re-publication has been caused, we presume, by the theories respecting apostolical succession, which have, for some time past, been agitating the Christian public, both in Great Britain and the United States. We do not believe the subject has been handled in a more masterly manner by any theologian, on the anti-apostolical succession side of the question, than by Professor Sparks; and to those who are curious to see what can be said on this interesting topic, by an author advocating his peculiar views of theology and ecclesiastical jurisprudence, the work recommends itself by its intrinsic merits.

14.-1. Proceedings of the Court for the Trial of Right Rev. Benj. T. Onderdonk, D. D., Bishop of New-York.

2. A Statement of Facts and Circumstances connected with the Trial. By Bishop ONDERDONK.

3. Opinions of the Minority of the Court.

4. The Trial Tried. By LUCIUS.

THAT an age of boasted refinement and intelligence, such as our's, should, among the numerous indelicate and licentious publications to which it has successively given birth, have fostered and encouraged the circulation of such pamphlets as the above, is, to an ordinarily sensitive mind, a most humiliating and reluctant confession. Still more unfortunate is it, that publishers should have been found so regardless of individual private feelings, so reckless as to the influence of published works upon public morals, and so wedded to the "dollar and cent" philosophy of the times, as to cater for the depraved tastes and appetites of that large clsss of mankind, erroneously denominated "the reading public," for the sake of pecuniary emolument, at the expense of the higher considerations to which we have adverted.

EDITORIAL NOTE.

WE have been crowded with matter in this number. Those who have been left out must pardon us. We have had to leave out our index, condense our critical notices and reject several interesting ones. If the publishers-particularly the Messrs. Appleton-and authors will pardon us, we shall give them all attention in our next,-we shall atone for all faults.
