CRITICAL NOTICES. The Life of Algernon Sidney; with Sketches of some of his Contemporaries, and Extracts from his Writings. By G. VAN SANTVOORD. NewYork: Charles Scribner. This book is a very creditable contribution to the historical literature relating to that, to us, most interesting period of the annals of England, when the principles upon which this government was founded received their most definite elucidation. There were men among those who established the brief interregnum of the English Commonwealth whose ideas were in advance of their age, or at least of the circumstances which surrounded them. Their number was insufficient for the task they undertook. Some became martyrs to their cause, whilst others were enabled to plant their principles in a virgin soil, not overgrown with other habits and ideas. Among the former, Sidney was one of the most distinguished and disinterested. Mr. Van Santvoord has drawn his character and related the incidents of his life with a warm appreciation; and he has thrown in some admirable short sketches of some of his compatriots. In such a work, of course, the stern features of the great Cromwell must appear. Siding with neither of the extremes, the author, we think, gives the true view of this extraordinary man, and we commend his book warmly. Every body says that this is a rare book, and every body is right for once. Some one has said that it exceeds any thing of the kind since Addison, and to this, too, we have the greatest mind to subscribe. Indeed, we do not know but we could be driven into an argument, (were the proper occasion to arise,) to show that it is as keen, as witty, as elegant, as the corresponding parts of the great moralist himself. Certainly, The Town-this "Great Metropolis"-has had no such " chiel" within it "takin' notes" of its foibles and follies, its pretensions and its hypocrisies. The present elegant edition makes its appearance with a new and characteristic preface from the hand of the renowned Ik. Marvel, in which the long-defeated curiosity of the public as to who the author is or was, is entirely relieved by a "full and particular" account of the "nominis umbra." Travels in America. The Poetry of Pope. Two Lectures by the Right Honorable the EARL OF CARLISLE, (Lord Morpeth.) New-York: G. P. Putnam. The first of the lectures composing this very neat little volume has been extensively published in the newspapers. A great many are therefore already familiar with it; but there are, no doubt, many more who, failing to catch it thus "on the wing," will be glad to have in this permanent form these candid and generally just observations of the distinguished author. The lecture on Pope will well repay perusal. The Natural History of Selborne, with Observations on Various Parts of Nature, and Naturalist's Calendar. By the late Rev. GILBERT WHITE, A. M. Bohn's Illustrated Library. NewYork: Bangs, Brothers & Co. This is one of those choice books that so long maintain their place in the affections of the quiet lovers of nature. All literary readers have of course obtained a sufficient knowledge of it from chance readings, to embrace the present opportunity of getting at it in so pleasant and acceptable an edition of it as the one before us. These inhabitants of the world of verdure and of) added to by the author, both in matter and illusthe by-places and crannies of creation, with their trations; and should command a place, not only tiny toils and pleasures-could they have a more in the library of every angler, but also in that of appropriate historian? every lover of nature. The getting up of the book is a really splendid specimen of taste. Mr. Redfield should be exempted from the bite of a bug or the sting of a mosquito for the term of his natural life. The Glenns, a Family History. By J. L. M'CON- A story of very decided ability. The author exhibits uncommon powers in the analysis of character and motives; and his studies have been taken from the life. His scenes are laid among our Western settlers, whose peculiarities have probably never been so carefully considered from their serious side as by this very promising author. Memoirs of William Wordsworth, Poet Laureate, The Works of Washington Irving, Complete in fifteen Volumes; and the Choice Works of J. Fenimore Cooper, in twelve Volumes, 12mo. NewYork: G. P. Putnam. The American public owe Mr. Putnam a debt of gratitude for his enterprise, and we might say patriotism, in issuing such elegant editions of these standard authors, and at so cheap a rate, that all may gratify their national pride by placing so goodly a row of volumes of choice dered that books as parlor ornaments were not reading upon their shelves. We have often wonlittle case containing these volumes make in a more appreciated.

Frank Forester's Fish and Fishing of the United States and British Provinces of North America. Illustrated from Nature by the Author. By HENRY W. HERBERT. Third edition, revised and corrected, with an ample Supplement, by the Author. New-York: Stringer & Townsend. Having in a previous number of this journal presented, as we were in duty bound, an entire article on this book, we need only call attention to the new edition, and say that it is even more beautifully issued in paper and typography than ever; that it has been carefully revised and show the education and refinement of which our Indian tribes are capable. A Grandmother's Recollections. New-York: Chas. An admirably written and beautifully got up volume, which we highly commend as a present to the juveniles. The Year-Book of Facts in Science and Art.

It will be found to be a most convenient book of reference for what has been done during the year in the way of improvements and inventions. nearly of Dr. Kellinger's Liniment have been used in the last ten years, making friends in every quarter of the globe, and curing all manner of diseases on males and females. Its first friends are its best. It has been used for years by the Hon. M. H. Grinnell, and thousands of others. For the most astounding proof see advertisement in weekly papers.

Depots 230 Pearl, 464 and 476 Broadway. DR. KELLINGER-Sir: It is nearly four years since I tried your Liniment for the heaves; it has never failed to cure in hundreds of cases with myself and others, and it is the only remedy Í have been able to get that would heal old offensive sores on the back or breast, and work my horse steadily, together with strains, callouses, &c. &c. &c. The hair comes in the same color, and very fast. Yours, truly, J. LANE, Murray annd West sts. Depots, 464 and 230 Pearl st., and of the Doctor, 476 Broadway, in large bottles from $1 to one shilling each-from $1 to $8 a dozen, cash. DR. KELLINGER, Dear Sir-My hair continues firm and sleek. I had none when I commenced sing the Fluid. Mr. E. Dickson, at Hudson, whom you have already published, had no hair from his seventeenth to his forty-second year. I knew him well. His case, as well as mine, will astonish any one who will make an examination.-Yours, truly, WM. GARDNER, No. 22 Second street, Williamsburgh, L. I. Mr. John Clarke, of Hastings, had no hair for fifteen years; I saw Mr. C.; it is a most astonishing growth. There were upwards of twenty confirmed cases in Yonkers. who have had their hair renewed. Yours, sincerely, JAMES MILLER. I am well known to Ex-Alderman R. P. Getty, the Hon. Aaron Vark of Yonkers. DR. KELLINGER-Dear Sir:-In the last five years, among our large number of horses, we have used your truly wonderful Liniment. In the meantime we have been urged to use several new liniments, having larger bottles, and much larger pretensions, but none of them will compare with yours for healing old sores, cuts and bruises; it also cures the heaves, and all manner of hard swellings, strains, spavin, ringbone, curb splints, thrush, kicks and corks. Nealy three years since, one of my men was riding a horse, and leading three. The horse stumbled, and he fell, and was trampled upon in the most awful manner. He was taken up for dead. Your magic remedy was applied, and he walked out the following day. This is only one out of many astonishing cases among my men. I remain yours, truly, JAMES MURPHY, Stage Proprietor. N. B.-Dr. Kellinger was relating the above to a friend on board the steamer America, on the route to Yonkers. The Hon. Moses H. Grinnell stood in hearing, and made a remark that it was a strong story, and seemed to think that it was highly colored; and on the following morning, on his way to the landing, he and his son and coachman were thrown from the carriage. Mr. G. and son were scarcely scratched, but the man was thrown upon his face with a frightful concussion. The following day he received Mr. G. at the landing without a mark to be seen. From that time to the present, Mr. G. says he has never been without it in his family. It is mild, pleasant, and agreeable in odor and action. It is used upon the horse, because it is the cheapest to be bought in market. Sold in very large bottles, 50 cents; $4 a dozen, cash, at 230 Pearl; 464, and of the Doctor, at 476 Broadway, white front, between Grand and Broome. A most wonderful and remarkable fact, of all the Liniments and Embrocations made and sold in the last 20 years, Dr. Kellinger's is the only one that has been able, from its merits, to maintain the real good feeling and recommendation of the medical profession, and of the wealthy circles; all that is required to endear and rivet this great medicine to families generally, is a trial of one bottle. Its very pleasant and agreeable action when applied, and the very large quantity sold for a small price, renders it ten times cheaper, more desirable and effective than any other article in the market. All nervous difficulties yield to it instantly. Rheumatic Gout of 30 years' standing has been entirely eradicated. This wonderful medicine is especially designated to be prescribed internally or externally in spasmodic complaints of every class and character-it gives immediate relief; in pains and weakness of the back, produced from derangements of the kidneys, catching cold, over straining, imprudence, or weakness of every nature, in male or female, it acts like magic-strengthening and healing the parts affected most thoroughly. As a Hair Tonic and Restorative, it has never had its equal. There are many pretended remedies for restoring the hair—but not one of them can show a single case of baldness of 20 years' standing having been renewed; this our remedy has done in a number of cases, where the persons were over sixty years of age-of which we can give evidence of an indisputable character. Two or three ap plications fasten and stop the hair from falling out. It heals all manner of scrofulous ulcers and skin diseases at the bottom, so that they never return. It has a most delightful odor, rendering the air of the sick room agreeable as soon as the bottle is uncorked; and when taken internally leaves the breath pleasant and agreeable. No lady or gentleman will suffer their toilet to be without it after a trial; it clears, softens and beautifies the skin, on old or young, and creates a most delightful and cheerful feeling whenever it is used. Sold in large 8 oz. bottles, at 230 Pearl st., 464 and 476 Broadway, between Grand and Broome sts., at 50 cents each; $4 a dozen, cash. june 12t FOR THE SALE OF VARIEGATED PYRENNIEN MARBLE, 813 BROADWAY, NEW-YORK.

IN the original Prospectus of the AMERICAN REVIEW, issued at Washington by Mr. Colton, its former Proprietor and Editor, a number of the leading Whig Members of the Twenty-seventh Congress (1845-6) subscribed their names to the following resolution : : "Earnestly approving the plan of such a National organ, long needed and of manifest importance, the undersigned agree to contribute for its pages, from time to time, such communications as may be necessary to set forth and defend the doctrines held by the United Whig Party of the Union. Signed by Geo. P. Marsh, Daniel D. Barnard, J. McPherson Berrien, J. R. Ingersoll, E. Joy Morris, T. L Clingman, Daniel Webster, R. C. Winthrop, Thomas Butler King, Hamilton Fish, J. P. Kennedy, J. Collamer, Wm. S. Archer, Rufus Choate, Alexander H. Stephens." An engraved portrait of some distinguished person will be found in every number of the Review. These will usually be portraits of living American Statesmen, and whenever that is possible, will be accompanied with an authentic Memoir of the person represented. The first objects of the Review are of course political; it is designed to set forth and defend the principles, the measures, and the men of the UNITED WHIG PARTY of the Union It has been a matter of just reproach to that Party, that though it embraces its due proportion of the intelligence and learning of the country, it has had no Quarterly or Monthly Organ devoted to the expression and defense of its opinions and measures. The conductors of the American Review have done what in them lies to remove this reproach, by securing contributions from sources of ability and truth. The literary department of the Review will agree in spirit with the political. TERMS.-$5 a year, in advance. D. W. HOLLY, Publisher, 120 Nassau st. |
