our readers. . This publicatiomhas followed 
rapidly on his last 3 and, with, all due, ac- 
knowledgment of Mr, Milman’s excellen- 
cies, we shall do him no. disservice by sug- 
gesting to him, that /an author may; act 
wisely in not drawing too largely on the 
resources of his own mind and the atten- 
tion, of the public. 
Notwithstanding the,interest: which has 
latterly been, excited by. the struggle and 
final triumph of the cause..of liberty in 
South, America, there is but little known 
here of the connected military operations 
in, that part of the world. A work, en- 
titled, A. Journal. of an Expedition 1400 
Miles up the Orinoco and 300.up the Arauca, 
with an Account of the Country, the Manners 
of the People; Military Operations, &c. by 
J, H. Ropinson, late surgeon of the patri- 
otic army, will be found well adapted to 
supply this information, Its author was in 
the Venezuelan service for a considerable 
length of time, and is well qualified, by ex- 
perience and personal observation, for the 
task he has undertaken. | This volume is 
accompanied, but. certainly. not orna- 
mented, by several copper-plates. 
iWPlans, Elevations, Sections, §c. of King 
Henry the Seventi’s Chapel at Westminster- 
Abbey, with the History of ils Foundation, 
and: an Authentic Account of its Restoration, 
by Lewis N.CorrinGHaM, is a publica- 
tion calculated to be of eminent service to 
all, young, arcbitects, and to afford much 
gratification to those who make a study of 
Gothicarchitecture. To the general reader, 
this, work, being printed im atlas folio, 
would be found inconveniently large. _ The 
descriptive and historical part displays a 
complete knowledge of his subject on the 
part of the author... We were particularly 
struck, in the present instance, with the 
effect of the adaptation of the lithographic 
engraving »to this sort, of drawing, which 
admits of its application with the greatest 
advantage.» The plates are well executed, 
especially the complicated drawing of the 
side of the chapel., In the design of his 
title-page, which afforded almost the only 
opportunity for the display of.imagination, 
the artist has shewn great taste. Another 
part of the work is, we believe, in progress, 
which will contain drawings of the interior, 
and also one plate omitted inthe present,

the ordinary path of a novelist’s dramatis 
persona. Upon. the whole, though we are 
better satisfied with this production than if 
the authoress had, remained entirely. idle, 
yet we. are, we think, entitled to expect 
something better from her pen.
