The Parlour Library. IV. Consuelo. By GEORGE SAND. 2 vols. London and Belfast, 1847. Simms and McIntyre. MESSRS SIMMS and MCINTYRE, determined to sustain the deserved popularity of their cheap issue of works of fiction, have just added George Sand's celebrated romance Consuelo" to their well-selected series. Next to "Indiana," this is universally considered to be the best work of the most celebrated woman of the present age of France, for we need not remind any reader of modern French literature that George Sand, despite the masculine name, is a woman. The authoress avails herself of her wonderful power of delineating character, and presenting before her readers the powerful scenes which none but herself can imagine. The heroine Consuelo is the most perfect representation of a distinterested woman ever portrayed, and the madman Albert, who has become so from hearing the constant whisperings of his relatives, that the fact of there being insanity in the family must be kept from his know. ledge, is drawn with a reality almost frightful.

The Overland Mail and the Austrian Lloyd's. With Two Maps and Documents. London, 1847. Mann. THIS pamphlet contains not only a very careful exposition of the particulars of the overland 1oute from India vid Trieste, but a variety of information on topics incidentally connected therewith, which renders it extremely interesting. The following account of the Austrian Lloyd's Company will probably be new to many of our readers; and in quoting it we commend the pamphlet to general perusal.

"This excellent institution was established after its prototype, the London Lloyd's, in the year 1836, in Trieste, and soon became the centre of the whole maritime activity of that rapidly-rising port, which, with respect to traffic, is already considered the ninth port in the world, as the commerce in one year (1846) was estimated at £14,500,000. The Austrian Lloyd's at present consists of two sections, the Lloyd's proper, and the Steam Navigation Company. The Lloyd's proper has three departments :-The first is the management of a splendid establishment appropriated for the meeting of merchants, shippers, &c., connected with which there are readingrooms supplied with upwards of 200 newspapers and various shiplists of remarkable accuracy. The second department is the United Insurance Office, in which the several Trieste Insurance Companies participate. The third department is that of the newspapers, of which the Lloyd, having correspondents in all parts of the world, publish a German and an Italian newspaper four times a week. They are esteemed on the Continent the most influential organs of political economy, commerce, and navigation, and are distinguished by a strenuous advocacy of sound free-trade principles, which has already operated to a certain extent against the high prohibitive system of Austria.

"There is a printing-office, in which are three large steam and fifteen Stanhope presses, all busily engaged by the intellectual activity of this modern queen of the Adria.

"The second section of the Lloyd's-the Steam Navigation Company (which is the leading party in promoting the acceleration of the Indian Mail)-has a capital of £300,000, in 6,000 shares of £50 each. In the month of May, 1845, his I. R. Majesty the Emperor of Austria was pleased to grant to this Company the privilege to be considered a branch of the I. R. State Post Establishment, with exemption from all taxes, dues, &c."

The Works of William Cowper, his Life and Letters. By WILLIAM HAYLEY, Esq. Now first completed by the introduction of CowPER'S Private Correspondence. Edited by the Rev. T. S. GRIMSHAWE, A.M. &c. &c. Vol. IV. London, 1847. W. Tegg and Co.

THE fourth volume of this work continues the poet's life and correspondence, concluding with the year 1792. The chief topics discussed are, the Slave Trade, and Cowper's Translation of Homer. It is unnecessary to add that this volume must be more than usually interesting. In it we find abundant evidence of Cowper's desire to write for improvement as well as amusement. In even his lightest pieces the reader

marvels much to find,

The laughter o'er, a moral left behind.

Of the illustrations we need only say that they are as usual, admirable. The view of St. Alban's is as pretty a picture as could be desired. The other engraving is a view of Bene't College, Cambridge. The Don in the foreground is well sketched. He looks as a Don alone can look, and is evidently laying down the law in an indisputable manner, greatly to the edification of the "poker "behind him.

A Classical Atlas, to illustrate Ancient Geography; comprised in Twenty-five Maps, shewing the Various Divisions of the Worldas known to the Ancients; Composed from the most authentic Sources: with an Index of the Ancient and Modern Names. By ALEXANDER G. FINDLAY, F.R.G.S. Royal quarto. London, 1847. W. Tegg and Co.

THIS is an important work. The maps are Orbis Veteribus Notus, Italia Septentrionalis, Italia Media, Italia Meridionalis, Peloponnesus et Attica, Græcia Septentrionalis, Insulæ Maris Ægæi et Creta, Macedonia, Thracia, Illyria, Moesia et Dacia, Britannia, Insula Britannica, Gallia, Germania, Vindelicia, Noricum, Rhætia, Pannonia et Illyricum, Hispania, Africa, Ægyptus, Asia Minor, Palæstina, Syria, Armenia, Mesopotamia, Assyria, et Babylonia, Arabia, Imperium Persicum, and India. There are also two plans, the one of Rome, the other of Athens. The work is preceded by a singularly clever argumentative preface, and is followed by an index, containing the latitude and longitude, and nature of the name sought, whether it is that of a mountain, country, river, people, district, &c. and the number of the map in which it will be found. It is exceedingly copious, extending to forty-four pages of closely printed type, and its accuracy cannot, so far as we can discover, be impeached. It will be found a most useful companion to the young scholar, whose labours will be infinitely abridged by means of the Index, and to all intrusted with the education of youth we most cordially recommend it. It is one of the best works connected with ancient geography that has issued from the press.

The manner in which it is produced deserves our unqualified approbation. The maps are as admirable specimens of this line of engraving as could be found, and Mr. Findlay need fear comparison with no atlas extant. The clearness in the maps, each of which is necessarily crowded with a great number of names, is highly commendable. The letter-press also is neat, and the work is bound in a good style. We congratulate Mr. Findlay on the complete success of his labours.

MUSIC.

Caldwells' Musical Journal. Edinburgh, Caldwells. London, Orr. Part I.

66

THE first number of this work contains four songs, the music of one being by Donizetti, of two (original) by Guylott (the editor), a popular balladist, and the fourth by Frederick Morton. "The Song of the Bell" ("For full five hundred years I've swung "), Guylott, is a pleasing melody, with a very pretty accompaniOh, bid me not forget thee!" Morton, is a very pretty ballad in A major, common time, and displays considerable taste on the part of the composer. "The Brigand," by Guylott, is a bold song, characteristic of its title. The coda is very effective. This work, we predict, will have great popularity, and it deserves it.

TREASURY:

[blocks in formation]

From DOUGLAS JERROLD'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER. These are new editions-one of them the sixteenth-of a class of works devoted in good earnest to extend the progress of sound information. Besides a sketch of Universal History, we have histories of England, Scotland, and Ireland, with outlines of those of other countries most remarkable for extent or civilization. Here, too, is a copious Dictionary of the English Language, with Grammar clear and concise, a Gazetteer, a Chronology, an Eucyclopædia, and a Biographical Dictionary, all exceedingly well adapted for general use, and divested of the bulk and extraneous matter attached to the same class of works when intended for the scholar.

These volumes are a perfect Library of Reference, the fruit of the system adopted for aiding the spread of serviceable knowledge. They recommend themselves, too, on the ground of cheapness, no less than for the vast mass of information they contain. fully compiled, are of infinite value in promoting elementary instruction. Works like the present, so industriously and careThe condensation of so much matter in so limited a compass, renders the volumes easily portable, while they possess the desirable fulness of explanation.

It is not possible to foresee the prodigious result of the conveyance of solid information into the minds of the masses by such publications as the present, nor how great the quantity of power added in this way to the strength of the commonwealth. Whatever the extent of it may be, and it will probably be immense, such publications as the present will be one great mean in bringing about so important a consummation.

THE ATLAS On the 7th and 24th of
THE ATLAS FOR INDIA.-The object of this publi

in a condensed form, the news of the preceding fortnight, up to the hour of
the mail's departure, collected and arranged with especial reference to the
requirements of the Indian public. Whilst matter not affecting the interests
of, or calculated in any manner to entertain the Indian reader, is scrupulously
excluded, the utmost pains are taken to obtain from every possible source-
often from original and exclusive sources-information of peculiar interest to
residents in the Indian presidencies, Ceylon, China, and the Straits. The
better to secure the accomplishment of this desirable end, and to render the
publication in every respect what it professes to be, an ATLAS FOR INDIA,
the management has been placed in the hands of a gentleman recently editor
of one of the leading daily journals of Calcutta.

The ATLAS FOR INDIA is not a mere reproduction of the principal contents of the weekly paper, but is in a great measure written expressly for Indian circulation. domestic and foreign events of the fortnight; military and commercial intelIt contains a compendious narrative of the principal ligence; literary and social chit-chat; items of personal news, &c. &c. Every number embraces a general summary of the news of the past fortnight, written expressly for this journal, regard being had to the relative importance and interest of the different events touched upon, in the eyes of the AngloIndian reader. It is the endeavour of the conductor of the ATLAS FOR INDIA, not only to give a condensed historical narrative of political events, but to catch the tone and temper of the times, and embody in the pages of this journal all that lighter fabric of social and literary intelligence, past, present, and prospective, which, in this age of progress, is so abundant in every great European metropolis.

Atlas Office, 6, Southampton-street, Strand. To be had of all News-agents. ***The next ATLAS FOR INDIA will be published on Saturday, August 7th.

The pain was generally most excruciating; every treatment was tried in vain, until at last she used Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which effected a perfect cure. Her general health is likewise wonderfully improved. traordinary cure was communicated by Mr. Sharp, of No. 29, Park Street, Wellington.

The principle adopted by the Universal Life Assurance Society, of an annual valuation of assets and liabilities, and a division of three-fourths of the profits among the assured, is admitted to offer great advantages, especially to those parties who may wish to appropriate their proportion of profit to the reduction of future premiums,

The following Table will shew the result of the last division of profits, as declared on the 12th May, 1847, to all persons who had on that day paid six annual premiums. This will be found a liberal reduction if the original premiums be compared with those of other offices adopting a similar plan of division of profits:
