Effigies of Great Britain,’ with some 
account of a journey in the Nether- 
lands, by Mr. CHarLes STOTHARD, 
author of “‘ Letters written during a 
Tour through Normandy, Britanny, 
and other parts of France.” 
Mr. THELWALL continues his labours 
on his long projected epic, which he 
proposes to call “the Hope of Albion,” 
founded on the life and achievements 
of Epwin THE GREAT. He has fa- 
youred us with a passage as a speci- 
men; and though these beautiful lines 
cannot fail to create a taste for the 
work, yet all who know the author 
haye lone anticipated a production of 
extraordinary merit. 
The three forthcoming numbers of 
the Journal of New Voyages and Tra- 
vels will consist severally of the follow- 
ing very important works :— 
June 1: CAiLtiaupn’s Travels in the 
Oases of Thebes and El Dakel, with 
eighteen engravings.—July 1: MULLER’S 
Travels in Southern Greece in 13821, de- 
seribing the Holy Insurrection of the 
Greeks, the Turkish Massacres, &c. as 
witnessed by the Author.—dugust 1: Si- 
MoND’s Travels in Switzerland, me- 
thodized from the French edition. 
—Persons who neglect to peruse a 
work so fraught with the best modern 
information, are necessarily a full 
generation behind the age in which 
they live. 
~ An interesting work, called Napo- 
leon in Exile, is expected to appear 
in the course of the ensuing month. 
It is similar in sty 6 to the ‘ Life of 
Johuson,” by Boswell, and consists 
almost entirely of Napoleon’s own re- 
marks, in his own words, written at 
the moment, during three years of 
unrestrained communication; and fur- 
nishes, ina way that could probably 
never haye been anticipated, details of 
all theremarkable events of his life, pub-. 
lic and private; characters of his minis- 
ters and-generals; state secrets of the 
various courts of Europe; the develop- 
mentof his foreign and domestic policy; 
anecdotes of his campaigns; and, in- 
deed, illustrations of most of the extra- 
ordinary. occuxrences. and persons 
which haye astonished the world du- 
ring the last half century. It carries 
with ifits own evidence, and is sus- 
tained by facts known only to the dis- 
tinguished individual by whom: they 
were related. His death has removed 
the delicacy. which restrained the 
editor during his life; but the obser- 
vations of Such a man belong. to pos 
terify.

The Rev. W. S. Bowes will 
shortly publish a new poem, entitled 
the Curfew, or the Grave of the Last 
Saxon. 
Speedily will be published, of the 
same size as the ‘ Introduction to 
Geology, by the-Rev. W. D. Coney- 
beare and W. Phillips,” an Introduc- 
tion to the Study of Fossils; being a 
compilation of such information as 
may assist the student in obtaining 
the necessary knowledge respecting 
these substances, and their connexion 
with the formation of the earth, by 
James PARKINSON, esq. author of 
“the Organic Remains of a Former 
World.” 
Our readers will sincerely partici- 
pate with us in the victory of liberal 
feelings over a vulgar spirit of bigotry, 
in the question about the continuance 
of Mr. LAwrENcE in his honorary ap- 
pointment of Surgeon to Bridewell 
and Bethlem Hospitals. In the annual 
election of the present year a most 
extraordinary attempt was made to 
declare Mr. Lawrence ineligible ; but 
Mr. ALDERMAN WAITHMAN, in a most 
able speech, referred to the histories of. 
philosophy and of religious intolerance,, 
and demonstrated the disgrace that 
would attach to the body of governors 
if so narrow aspirit triumphed. Ona 
division, there were fifty-two against 
the motion, and only twenty-six in 
its favour, among whom we are 
deeply concerned at having to name 
the Duke of Sussex. To the honour 
of the profession, no man of character 
could be preyailed on to place himself 
in the ignominious situation of being a 
candidate in opposition to Mr. Law- 
rence. At the election, on the follow- 
ing day, he was returned by a majo- 
rity of seven to one, over two obscure 
persons, who permitted their names to 
stand as candidates., 
The concluding volume of Sir R. 
Ker Porrer’s Travels in Georgia, 
Persia, Babylonia, &c. will appear in a 
few days. 
Mr. Dun op, author of the ‘‘ History, 
of Fiction,” has a new work in the 
press, entitled, the History of Roman 
Literature from the earliest periods to 
the Augustan age, in two. volumes, 
octavo. 
Malpas, by the author of ‘the Ca- 
valier;” Roche Blanche, by Miss A. M. 
Porter; the Refugees, by the author 
of “Correction;” and Tales of . the 
Manor, by Miss Hortanv,—are nearly 
ready for publication,
