Winter Evening Tales; collected among the Cottagers in the South of Scotland. By James Hogg, author of "The Queen's Wake,' &c. &c. In 2 vols. These tales are, on the whole, worthy of the high reputation which the Ettrick Shepherd enjoys. They abound with passages of great grandeur and beauty with descriptions of alternate magnificence and softness-which are manifestly produced by one who has an exquisite relish for the varieties of natural scenery. They are not, however, very artificially written, sometimes descending into tedious enumerations, and sometimes rendered heavy by a dull spirit of moralizing, for which Mr. Hogg's fresh and lively genius is not adapted. The best things in these volumes are the pictures taken from a shepherd's life, which are given with that intense vividness which actual recollection alone could inspire. The account of storms in the Shepherd's Calendar is truly sublime; and all these reminiscences are full of that heartiness and manly feeling which the author has not lost in his literary successes. Well do we feel, in reading his works, that the following lines of a great modern poet are suited to his character "Love had he known in huts where poor men lie, His daily teachers had been woods and rills; The silence that is in the starry sky, The sleep that is among the lonely hills!" The Retreat; or Sketches from Nature, a Descriptive Tale. By the Author of " Affection's Gift," "Treasures of Thought," "Letters on History," &c. In 2 vols. It This is a very amusing and instructive tale. has the rare merit of exhibiting quick sensibilities and high-wrought passions, and of giving to them a living interest which fascinates us, and yet of leaving on the heart no impression, except a sym! pathy with the mildest and the holiest virtue. Its characters are ably discriminated and well supported, its style is chaste and elegant, and all its parts have a harmony and keeping not often found in modern fictions.

Sintram and his Companions; a Romance, from the German of Baron La Motte Fouque. Zayda; a Spanish Tale, in three Cantos; and other Poems, Stanzas, and Canzonets, by Oscar, 1 vol. There is a great deal of beauty, and more of promise, in these poems. The praise of singular sweetness of versification, great delicacy of feeling, and frequent felicity of expression, are undoubtedly due to their author. He has, however, much yet to acquire, and more to resign, before he will enable the world duly to appreciate and to enjoy his powers. The chief fault of his poems is a redundance of epithet, and even of sentiment itself; he refines too much on his feelings, dwells on pretty generalities until the thread of his story is lost, and too often makes us regret that "function is smothered in surmise, and nothing is but what is not." This is, however, a good fault; it shews the exuberance of the author's genial tendencies and kind affections; and while we recommend his little volume as a pleasing and elegant work, we look with hope for yet freer and nobler productions from his pen. A Queen's Appeal; pamphlet, 8v0. This is a poem written in the Spenserian stanza, in the character of her Majesty, giving a sort of sketch of her journeyings, and expressing her feelings, in a mild and gentle strain, on her arrival in England. Its fault is, that it is neither a piece of pure imagination unconnected with political occurrences, nor yet is it any political argument;-it is a mere exposition of feelings chiefly connected with the scenery through which the Queen has passed, but which it is a mere gratuitous assumption that she ever felt. As an Appeal on behalf of her Majesty, it is very poor; as a poem, it has the merit of uniform elegance, and a degree of resemblance to Lord Byron's "Childe Harold." The author has certainly powers, and evidently much facility of composition, which we shall be happy to see employed on subjects fitter for the uses of poetry.

Rector of Semyngham, and Prebendary of Durham: with a Memoir of The History and Antiquities of Kensington, interspersed with Biographical Anecdotes of Royal and Distinguished Personages, and a Descriptive Catalogue of the Collection of Pictures in the Palace. From a Survey taken by the late B. West, esq. P.R.A. by Command of his Majesty. The observation of Lord Bacon, that " Antiquities are, as it were, the planks of a shipwreck, which in dustrious and wise men gather up and preserve from the deluge of time," is, we think, very applicable to the contents of this work, every page of which displays accurate research and diligent investigation. The village of Kensington possesses a Royal palace, and an extensive and curious collection of pictures, many of which had been the property of Charles I. but being dispersed after the death of that monarch, were afterwards purchased by James II. King Wil liam and Queen Caroline, and deposited in fifteen apartments in this palace. His late Majesty never resided at Kensington, and, in consequence, the pictures were neglected, till his present Majesty ordered the late eminent President of the Royal Academy to make a survey and catalogue of the whole collection, a copy of which is printed in this work, and the pe. rusal of this portion of the history will afford the highest gratification to the lovers of the arts. In treating of the historical description of Holland House, the author has availed himself of the kind permission of Lord and Lady Holland to detail the various objects of virtu which adorn that ancient and curious fabrick, one of the last specimens of the domestic architecture of the Elizabethan age, and one of the most conspicuous ornaments in the vicinity of London. The library at Holland House, collected entirely by the present Lord, appears, from this work, to be particularly rich in Spanish and Italian literature. Amongst the literary rarities are several MS. plays of Lope de Vega, in his own hand-writing. In the grounds, Lord Holland has erected a Roman altar to the memory of Lord Camelford, who fell in a duel with Mr. Best, in the year 1804. An engraving of this antique altar is given, on the base of which is this inscription, in allusion to the fatal transaction: HOC DIS. MAN. VOTO DEPRECAMUR. Amongst the curious remains depicted in this work, we were much struck with the view of the ancient conduit, built by King Henry VIII. for the use of Queen Elizabeth during her residence at Chelsea, and which still supplies Winchester Palace with water. This antique structure is situated in the King's forcing-grounds, and is one of the most venerable and curious specimens remaining of the brick-work of Henry the Eighth's time. The work is dedicated, by permission, to the King, and is divided into eleven chapters, with twenty-four wood cuts, engravings, and pedigrees. Upon the whole we have been amply gratified by the perusal, it far exceeding our expectations, and we deem it a valuable acquisition to our national topo. graphy.

An Account of Timbuctoo and Housa, in Africa, by El Hage Abd Salam Shabeeny, with Notes, &c. ; together with Letters, descriptive of Travels through West and South Barbary, and across the Mountains of Atlas, &c. By James Grey Jackson. Mr. Jackson states, that he resided upwards of sixteen years, as a merchaut, in South and West Bar bary, and acted as a diplomatic agent to several mari time nations of Europe. He is familiar with the African languages, and has corresponded with the principal men of several African nations. His suggestions for the advancement of our knowledge of Africa, and the mutual advantages to be derived from our im proved communication with that almost unknown region, are worthy of serious attention. He persists in his opinion given twenty years ago, that the only way to obtain a knowledge of this interesting continent is through the medium of commercial intercourse; and he urges, very properly, the indispensa ble necessity of union between the African Institu tion, African Association, and African Society. His letters, fragments, and notes, contain a variety of very interesting, though unconnected information, on African subjects. The journey of Shabeeny was com menced about 1787. He is a native of Tetuan, and accompanied his father to Timbuctoo, from which town, after a residence of three years, he proceeded to Housa; and after residing at the latter two years, he returned to Timbuctoo, where he continued seven years, and then came back to Tetuan. He was thus enabled to afford very particular information relative to those places which have excited so much curiosity.

AMONG the numerous Travellers who have visited Italy since the Restoration, we have reason to believe that no one has been admitted so unreservedly to inspect the interior of its social and political machinery, as Lady Morgan, her amusing delineations of France having procured for her a more complete intimacy and confidence abroad, than have been enjoyed by other Travellers. It is therefore with much satisfaction that we notice the announcement of a work, which will contain the observations collected by this distinguished Lady during her two years absence from England.
