182 QUAKTERLY JOURNAL. 



Mrs. Rundell's celebrated Cook Book. A new system of domestic cookery. 

 Philadelphia, Carey &. Hart. 



Professes to be founded on principles of economy, for the use 

 of private families. It contains 250 pages of directions for cook- 

 ing, &c., but is quite out of our line of experience, as we are better

 through the process. The ladies will find abundance in it to prac-

 Hart. Price 25 cents. 



This is a pamphlet of nearly one hundred pages, on " The Nature

 in its end. Such appears to have been the idea of the Berkshire 

 Jubilee. 



The book before us relates the sayings and doings of this occa-

 President Hopkins of Williams college. A poem by the Rev. 

 Wm. Allen, D. D.; and an oration by Joshua A. Spencer. The 

 minor parts of the book consist of speeches and odes, from which 

 we get something of the spirit of the occasion, and not only the 

 spirit of the occasion, but we see in them the strong traits or fea-
