MONTHLY REVIEW OF LITERATURE. (21 



The Universities and the Dissenters. James Frascr, London. 



A very able pamphlet, to which we may return ere long. The writei 

 very successfully combats the positions of the Edinburgh Review, and 

 places the Universities in their true light. It is about the best brochure. 

 which has appeared on the subject, and deserves a high place amongst 

 the politico-theological works of the day. 



Remarks on Steam-Navigation with India. Being the substance of 

 Evidence given before a Committee of the House of Commons. 

 By LIEUTENANT MACDONALD, R.N. Smith, Elder and Co., 

 London. 



An exposition of the Author's views as to the practicability of facilitating 

 the communication with our East India possessions. It consists of care- 

 fully drawn up details, and, as such, it merits attention. The attempt is 

 one of importance, and we wish it may succeed. 



Response de Lucien Bonaparte, prince de Canino, aux Memoires 

 du General Lamarque. Schulze and Co.* London. 



A work from the pen of one of the most remarkable men of our times, 

 and relative to his still more extraordinary brother, Napoleon Bonaparte. 

 The prince thus speaks of his repeated refusal of thrones, in denying the 

 idea that he wished to be the Regent of France: "En refusant le 

 pouvoir, je refusai ce qui me parut un funeste present dans la situation 

 politique oii nous avait laisses le consulat. Des raon enfance, je m'etais 

 habitue a regarder le gouvernementa centre poidsdeTAngleterre, ccmme 

 la seule espece de monarchic compatible avec la liberte publique : temoin 

 et acteur de la Revolution Francaise, je ne pouvais pas ignorer quo 

 1'antipathie nationale en France avait pour but le pouvoir aristocratique : 

 des lors je ne jamais pus concevoir comment, apres avoir proscrit les corps 

 intermediaire, on pouvait rever une royaut6 constitutionelle. Sans 

 patriciat, je ne jamais compris, et je ne comprends pas davantage 

 aujourd'hui une monarchic temper6e : j'ai toujours pense, et je pense 

 encore, que la France ne voulant pas se reconcilier avec un patriciat 

 hereditaire et independant par sa fortune et sa position, elle ne pouvait 

 pas esperer une liberte a TAnglaise ; et qu'elle ne pouvait pas par con- 

 sequent s'asseoir que sur une base republicaine." There is no small 

 amount of truth in the foregoing remark ; and from what is going on in 

 France, the prince has shown very considerable sagacity. 



England, France, Russia and Turkey. England, Ireland and 

 America. By a Manchester Manufacturer. Ridgways, London. 



We place these works in juxta-position : certainly not on account of 

 their equality of merits, but because they are the direct Antipodes of each 

 other, in style, in value, and in opinion. The first has already had our 

 attention : suffice it to say, that it is written by a Statesman. The second 

 is written by a Manufacturer : and though there is no earthly reason why 

 a manufacturer should not have statesmanlike views, it somehow or other 

 happens that the Manchester Manufacturer has not. As to his foreign 

 policy, if a nation will purchase what he himself manufactures, it in 

 enough : it may kill and slav, and swallow other kingdoms, ' C'est tout
