The name of this author bears a different meaning in En- 

 glish to what he attaches to it in France, as the above titles 

 dbmoristrate. But truly he must be an oddjish if the device 

 of No. 1., in which we trace the profile of a philosopher, be 

 equally the representative of M. Neree Boubee and the Nerite 

 whose name it bears. d j jj g j ne j Cf 3[ f£ .o-i^dfrnoiQ zlnrAq no 



M. Boubee is evidently a man of industrious and persever- 

 ing habits ; and his labours, if productive of no very beneficial 

 consequence to his pupils, obtain for him the praise of an 

 active and a well-intentioned teacher. ..[ c , 9f {j G j nmriaaqs oJ 



The Bulletin d'Histoire Naturelle is a kind of fac- simile, of 

 I\J . Ferussac's greater undertaking ; and, like it, embraces 

 every variety of subject connected with the study of natural 

 science, but, unlike it, is confined to France. The materials 

 are classed in eight sections ; and every subscriber may make 

 choice of any section. The work is published in the 18nx> 

 fprm, in livraisons of one or two double sheets. It will be 

 comprised in 8 vols. Besides this, a series of seven Itineraries 

 (of which one is before us, article 2.) will be added, embracing 

 the seven divisions of France. \ ms . o'/hefB nob rMrA^o gfimni 

 , The Deux Promenades au Mont Dore is a fair specimen of 

 this part of the work. It is pleasingly written, and is quite 

 unencumbered with unnecessary scientific terms. Indeed, in 

 some places, as at p. 32, 33., where the professor begins, 

 " Quelle rose n'est melee d'epines ! quelle esperance ne peut 

 etre trompee !" &c, the work assumes the character of an 

 imaginative journey. However, the peculiar features of the 

 ajsjtrjct are well delineated. ao jj Bffno 1 n i *} vbod $ ■p.ntezmun 1o 



The Geologic Popidaire is a concise summary of the 

 principal doctrines now received into the science : but we ob- 

 serve that the professor has adopted some notions respecting
