" The popularity of Sheridan Knowles's dramatic works has induced the present 
publishers to issue an elegant, and at the same time an extremely cheap, edition of 
the poet. This edition is now before the public, and there can be no question that 
it will be speedily exhausted by the desire to possess it. Sheridan Knowles is, in 
fact, the most successful dramatist of the present day ; and his plays ha\e been, and 
still form, the delight of thousands. Hitherto, however, these plays have only been 
obtainable in a detached form— several of them indeed have been some time out of 
print ;~the student of art dramatic had therefore no means of compnringthe advance 
of the poet at the several epochs of his poetical career. Consequently the publica- 
tion of the whole in a compact, cheap, and elegant form, is a boon which cannot be 
too highly appreciated by the public. The plays comprise sixteen in all — eight in 
each volume — and the collection commences with ' Caius Gracchus,' written in 1823, 
and ends with the last production of the author, * The Secretary.' There is there- 
fore a large mass of reading in these volumes. The type, however, is so clear, and 
the paper so good, that perusal is an additional pleasure ; and, under these circum- 
stances, the work can be recommended in the highest terms of praise to the public."

JNFIDELITY: its Cause and Cure. Ey Dr. Nelson. 
" The author of this strildng work (nearly 100,000 copies have been circulated) wa 
eminent as an inteUigent infidel physician, and then as an able minister of Christ- 
It has been well said of this work, that, 'after all the learned, eloquent, and argu- 
mentative treatises which have been published on different branches of the Christian 
evidences, something was still needed to excite curiosity, awaken attention, and 
stimulate inquiry; something that would present striking facts to arrest the attention 
of the indifferent and the sceptical.' Facts drawn from history, science, and obser- 
vation, are here placed in a strong and often startling light ; and there is an earnest- 
ness, a personality, a v. arm life-blood of reality running through the whole, which 
must strike every one on reading it."
