480 MONTHLY REVIEAV OF LITERATURE, 



Soon Johnny as a colt grew gay, 



Johnny Raw, 



Johnny Raw, 

 And danc'd as would a horse at play, 



Johnny Raw, 



Johnny Raw. 

 The Serjeant winlc'd — he'd got his prey; 

 The shilling Johnny took in play. 

 His hat did ribbons fine display. 



Johnny Raw, 



Johnny Raw, 

 Oh ! the simple Johnny Raw. 



With Moll, John swaggered arm in arm, 



Johnny Raw, 



Johnny Raw, 

 For Molly too grew rather warm, 



Johnny Raw, 



Johnny Raw, 

 The row-dow heightened up the charm. 

 The merry fife subdued alarm. 

 The broad-sword glitter'd on his arm, 



Johnny Raw, 



Johnny Raw, 

 Oh ! the simple Johnny Raw. 



The ploughmen laugh'd with loud haw, haw, 



Johnny Raw, 



Johnny Raw, 

 With stupid eye and fallen jaw, 



Johnny Raw, 



Johnny Raw, 

 Their breeches hitching with their paw, 

 Astonish'd at the sight they saw — 

 Took off" their hats, and cried huzza ! 



Johnny Raw, 



Johnny Raw, 

 Oh ! the simple Johnny Raw. 



We fear some ill-natured people will conclude that, in sketching " Johnny 

 Raw," the author has sketched himself. 



Practical Mercantile Correspondence, a Collection of Modern Let- 

 ters of Business. By William Anderson. Effingham Wilson. 



This is a book which ought to find its way into every counting-house. 

 There is nothing theo-etical or fanciful in it. The letters were all written in 

 the usual course of business ; the only alterations made being in the names 

 of the parties. A more complete system of mercantile correspondence has 

 never been published. t 



The Pictorial Bible. Part I. Charles Knight. 



The great attraction of this work will be the pictorial illustrations. They 

 are executed in wood, and are among the best of the kind we have seen. 

 The foot-notes are well selected, and seem to throw light on difficult passages 

 in the text. The work promises to be singularly cheap. It is sure of a very 

 extensive sale.
