were not formed to be perforated with holes and loaded with costly 

 jewels. To the Lord himself is ascribed in Revelation 1, 14, "hairs 

 white, like wool, as white as snow ;" how then dares man be ashamed 

 of his grey hairs, and disfigure them by colouring them. How will they 

 fare on the day of resurrection, whose forms are impaired by Satanic 

 arts. 



Das Schreibtisch, oder alte und neue Zeit Ein nachgelassenes Werk, von 

 Karoline Baronin de la Motte Fouque. Koln, 12mo. 1833. — The 

 Writing Desk, or Old and Modern Times. A posthumous work 

 of Carlorine Baroness de la Motte Fouque. 12mo. Cologne, 1833. 



Although this work has been for some time in print, yet it has not, so 

 far as we know, been noticed by any of our contemporaries. Con- 

 sidering, however, the celebrity of the authoress, to whose pen we are 

 indebted, among many other interesting works, for that charming little 

 story " Undine," we cannot forbear calling the attention of our readers 

 who delight in German literature, to this production. It contains 

 original essays and letters to and from the authoress written during the 

 long period between 1/85 — 1829. Those of the Baroness are favourably 

 distinguished by the peculiarity of mind and power of observation which 

 characterise the writings of this distinguished lady. The work is divided 

 according to subjects. The first contain original letters from 1785 — 90, 

 interesting and characteristic of the last years of the great Frederic's 

 reign, and of his immediate successor, who, disgusted with the cold 

 and heartless philosophy of Voltaire and his school, declared ** Qu'il 

 fallait un pen plus de religion." The writer has dwelled on the progress 

 and extinction of this reckless system in an admirable essay under the 

 title of •* History of Fashion, from 1/85 to 1829." It is, in fact, a 

 history of the times, highly interesting, both on account of its contents 

 and the manner in which they are treated. This essay, extending 

 over a period of 50 years, is followed by fragments written in 1829, 

 dialogues on art, taste, history, &c. all containing profound and 

 original reflections.
