LITERARY NOTICES.

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. GRIMSHAWC, M. A. &c. &c. Vol. VII. London, 1847: W. Tegg & Co.

[ocr errors]

THE seventh volume of this elegant work is now before us. To the admirers of Cowper-that is, to all who admire boldness of language, chastity of thought, and melody in verse, of will be found replete with interest. It contains the "Task,' "Tirocinium," the favourite verses on the bills of mortality, and a great variety of pieces minor in length, but not in beauty. The illustrations are, a portrait of Cowper's mother, and a vignette view of East Dereham. The next volume will conclude this very com edition of Cowper.

[blocks in formation]

MRS. HALL'S Works are decidedly and deservedly popular, and not the least so is "Marian." Its characters are well drawn, and the interest of the tale sustained throughout. The foundling heroine is beautifully delineated, and the ideal Mrs. Katty Macane is glorious. We use the word ideal advisedly, as we do not remember ever to have heard of a flesh and blood representation of Mrs. Macane; the existence of a few such would go far in inducing cautious housewives to omit from their advertisements for servants the melancholy warning, 66 no Irish need apply." "Marian was originally published in 1840, when it at once took a high place in the light literature of the day; in the selection of this work as one of the Parlour Library, Messrs. Simms have shewn the good judgment that has hitherto distinguished their series. A new novel, by Mr. Carlton, is advertised to appear in this cheap form.

The Battles of England, interspersed with Narratives and Anecdotes of Naval and Military Exploits, and Tales of the Civil Wars. London, 1847. W. Tegg and Co.

THIS is a very agreeable volume. The variety of anecdotes, tales, memoirs, &c., and the number of works quoted, shew diligence and care on the part of the compiler; nor are the illustrations less worthy of attention. All are creditable, and many very superior. Without wishing to depreciate any, we may select the following as particularly striking: "The Hannibal," p. 32, where the undulation of the waters is depicted in a manner unusual in wood engraving. "Charge of the Sikh Cavalry," P. 49; "Battle of Algesiras," p. 80; "Burial of Sir J. Moore," p. 96, in which the reflection from the "lanthorn dimly burning" is nicely portrayed; and lastly, the "Action between the Crescent and Reunion;" the sea here is a dead calm, the vessels remain motionless on the silent deep, and the torn and tattered sails flap listlessly against the wounded masts. This work will prove useful and agreeable to fill up a few spare moments, for which service the length of its articles renders it peculiarly adapted; while its appearance will not disgrace a drawing-room table.

THE THE ATLAS FOR INDIA.-The object of this publication, which is issued on the 7th and 24th of every month, is to give, 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 sourceoften 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. It contains a compendious narrative of the principal domestic and foreign events of the fortnight; military and commercial intelligence; 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 Monday, Nov. 8th.

VARICOSE VEINS, WEAKNESS, FRACTURES, SPRAINS, &c. UXLEY'S SURGICAL CAOUTCHOUC ELASTIC STOCKINGS are now daily patronized by the leading members of the profession; their superiority over every other manufactured fabric, for artificial support, is admitted by all who inspect them; they afford an equal, comforting, and permanent pressure, on every portion of the limb, avoiding the excessive trouble of lacing; they are drawn on with the facility of an ordinary stocking, adding little or no size to the leg. The success that has attended every case submitted to them, through the profession or otherwise, has established the confidence of all the first practitioners. H. and Co. are therefore enabled to guarantee a comfort and support hitherto unknown in any other form of bandaging. It is remarkable that every kind of surgical stockings lately used have a tendency to impede the free and healthy action of the muscles, thereby producing relaxation and great diminution of the limb. Only to be obtained at HUXLEY'S PARISIAN SHIRT WAREHOUSE, 5, Vere Street, Cavendish Square. Manufacturers of Patent Abdominal Belts.

DEANE'S GUNS.

N manufacturing their GUNS, GEORGE and JOHN DEANE select none but the choicest materials, and employ no other than the most experienced hands. G. and J. DEANE'S ambition has ever been to produce the very best Gun that a sportsman could carry into the field; and, among other principal requisites, they have always been determined that its shooting qualities should be decidedly and unquestionably pre-eminent. With regard to the workmanship, G. and J. DEANE only wish that what they turn out of their factory should be placed side by side with any other Guns purchased at whatever cost, or manufactured by any maker, however distin guished; G. and J. DEANE would have no fear as to what the decision of impartial and competent judges would be. G. and J. DEANE have now finished a very extensive stock of every bend, length, and calibre, all of first-rate quality. From these, gentlemen may, without delay, fit themselves, and try the shooting before they buy. Pairs of Guns made to order on the shortest notice. Repairs of all kinds with the utmost despatch.

T. TROY also begs to call attention to the fact, that bad fitting boots, however large, are not easy, but cause corns and swellings in the joints, which are very difficult to be got rid of. He respectfully states that his anatomical knowledge of the foot enables him to combine ease with neatness, and that he only requires the measure and description of the foot to insure a natural-fitting and gentlemanly-looking boot. His prices are moderate, and his goods of the finest quality.

DIRECTIONS FOR MEASURING.

1. The number of inches round the ball or joints of the foot. 2. The num ber of inches round the instep. 3. The number of inches round the heel to the upper part of instep. 4. The length of foot when sitting. 5. The length of foot when standing. 6. Round the calf. If there be any peculiarity about the foot, lay it on a sheet of paper and mark round it with a pencil, giving thereby its exact form; or, if an old boot can be forwarded, nothing more wil be required to insure a good fit.

[ocr errors]

had THE late WILLIAM COBBETT, M.P., in his REGISTER from the want of a perfect Truss; and, having obtained one from Mr. COLES, was instrumental in inducing thousands of persons of rank and fortune to apply to him for relief, whose patent has baffled every attempt to improve them for 27 years past.

"Coles's Patent, 3, Charing Cross,” is marked upon all Trusses. COLONEL FRANCKLIN informs those who have rups tures that he has been wearing Trusses 30 years, and he never met with but one individual who was master of the complaint. He has likewise an elder brother, a Colonel in the Hon. East-India Company's service, who has worn a similar kind of Truss for many years, who can say the same, Mr. COLES, of Charing Cross, is the individual alluded to.-Blackheath Vale, July 16, 1832. * The Colonel was likewise cured of rheumatism by Mr. COLES's Medicated Galvanic Bands, and gave him an excellent testimonial to that effect.

[blocks in formation]

The following peculiar advantages are offered by this Company :1. Their policies cover the risk of living and voyaging over a far larger portion of the globe than do those issued by any other Company in existence. They allow the assured to reside in the Australasian and North American colonies, * and at the Cape of Good Hope. They also allow to the assured for the whole of life one passage out and home to any of those colonies. For British India a very moderate extra premium is charged, and the premium is reduced to the English scale on the return of the assured life to England for permanent residence.

3. Premiums may be paid, and claims settled at Sydney, where there is a Board of Directors and Trustees; and at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, where there are Agents.

A third of the premiums may remain unpaid for five years; nor is it neces sary for the maintenance of the Assurance to pay up the premium at the end of that time, but the unpaid thirds may remain as a debt against the policy, if the interest be regularly paid upon them as the renewal premiums fall due.

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:

TOOPING of the SHOULDERS and CONTRAC

STOOPING CHEST are entirely prevented, and gently analy

removed in Youth, and Ladies and Gentlemen, by the occasional use of the IMPROVED ELASTIC CHEST EXPANDER, which is light, simple, easily applied, either above or beneath the dress, and worn without any uncom fortable constraint or impediment to exercise. To young persons especially it is highly beneficial, immediately producing an evident improvement in the figure, and tending greatly to prevent the incursion of pulmonary diseases; whilst to the invalid, and those much engaged in sedentary pusuits, such as reading or studying, working, drawing or music, it is found to be invaluable, as it expands the chest and affords a great support to the back. It is made in Silk; and can be forwarded, per post, by Mr. ALFRED BINYON, Sole Manufacturer and Proprietor, No. 40, Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, London; or full particulars, with prices and mode of measurement, &c. on receipt of a postage stamp.
