_Jumbaria, for the reception of Cinerary 
Urns. 
’ The work itself'is printed an two sizes: 
in two volumes quarto, and in one 
octavo. The latter, we are informed, 
has risen in price considerably since its 
publication, 
The most important work, however, 
which we have to notice in the class of 
Archeology, is the description of the 
“ Greek Marbles, brought from the Shores 
of the Euxine, Archipelago, and Medi- 
terranean, and deposited in the Vestibule 
of the public Library of the University 
of Cambridge,” by Epwarp Danret 
Crarket, L.L.D. It forms a modest, 
valuable catalogue, and is accompanied 
by tour plates. The account of the statue 
of Ceres, published in 1803, is included 
in it, accompanied by some additions ; 
and atthe end, we have Professor Por- 
son’s translation of the Greek inscription 
on the Rosetta stone, now at the British 
Museum. 
Here also may be mentioned, the ac- 
count of AsBor Isurp’s * Funeral,” pube 
lished by the Society of Antiquaries, in 
continuation of their Vetusta Monumenta, 
from a manuscript roll in the Herald’s 
college, 
BIOGRAPHY. 
First, in point of importance, in this 
class, we place, “ The Life of Alexander 
Nowell, Dean of St. Paul's ; chiefly com- 
piled from Registers, Letters, and other 
~ authentic Evidences,’ by Ratpu Cuur- 
ron, M.A, rector of Middleton Cheney, 
Northamptonshire. A work, which does 
honour both to the head and heart of 
the compiler, ALExANDER Nowe Lt, 
a learned divine, and a famous preacher 
in the reign of King Edward the VI. 
was, to use the words of honest [zaac 
Walton, a man, that in. the reformation 
of Queen Elizabeth, not that of Henry 
VILL. was so noted for his meek spirit, 
deep learning, prudence, and piety, that 
the then parliament and convocation, 
both, chose, enjoined, and trusted him to 
be the man to make a Catechism for pub- 
lic use, such a one as should stand as a 
rule for faith and manners to their pos- 
_terity. And the good old man, though 
he was very learned, yet, knowing that— 
God leads us not to heaven by many, 
nor by hard questions, made that good, 
plain, unperplexed Catechism, which is 
printed with our good old service-book. 
Upon the death of Edward VI. Nowell, 
with many other protestants, fled to 
Germany, where he lived for several 
years. In 1561, he was made dean of 
Retrospect of Domestic Literature—Biography. 
St. Paul’s; and in 1601, he died. Pree 
fixed to the work, is an engraving of the 
portrait, which is likewise described by 
Watron, in the ‘* Complete Angler.” 
It is also accompanied by several other 
elegant embellishments. 
A work more splendid in appearance, 
though certainly of iess general attraction 
in its contents, has been published by 
Dr. Disney, in the ‘* Memoirs of Tho- 
mas Brand Hollis, esq. F.R.S. and $.A.” 
Prefixed is a portrait.of Mr, Hollis: and 
interspersed, are nine views of the Hyde, 
(near Ingatestone;) and its curiusities. 
The work itself, like the manument 
which Dr. Disney erected in the church 
of Ingatestone, is a testimony of friend- 
ship and gratitude. 
In Mr. Meapcey’s ‘* Memoirs of Dr. 
Paley,” we'have another life, of no or- 
dinary interest to the world in general, 
If it is not written with quite so inuch 
compactness as Mr. Churton’s Life of 
Nowell, it is not strikingly inferior. Mr. 
Meadley, in the preface which precedes 
it, expresses himself 12 a manner too 
modest to be passed by. ‘*The Me- 
moirs (he says) now offered, to supply in 
some degree, a neglect, or at least to - 
provoke the exertions of some abler pen, 
are, in the compiler’s own estimation, 
very far from complete. The acknow- 
ledged talents of some of Dr. Paley’s 
earlier and more intimate friends, from 
whom an authentic detail of his life’ 
might most naturally be expected, ought 
perhaps to have deterred from the. at- 
tempt one who knew him only in his 
later years. Buta persuasion, that the 
whole of any eminent characler can 
never be duly appreciated, except from 
the views of different observers on the 
one hand, and, on the other, an anxtous 
wish to bear testimony to the merits of a 
much respected pastor, and to perpe- 
tuate his memory amongst his last pa- 
rishioners more especially, have pro= 
duced the present publication.” 
The Narrative is by no means one of 
dry detail. It is interspersed, not only 
with numerous, but valuable, memoranda 
of Dr. Parry’s Conversations; highly 
illustrative of his real character. 
Tn an Appendix will be found, some 
of Dr. Paley’s minor productions, which, 
though not absolutely new to the public, , 
are comparatively little known. 
In a * Narrative of the-last Illness, 
and Death of Richard Porson, M.A. 
Professor of Greek, in the University of 
Cambridge,” by Dr. ApaM CLARKE, we 
have a pamphlet which cannot fail to
