sion, to venerate the genius of our civil Constitution, and to perceive that its unrivalled excellence is as incompatible with regal despotism as with republican fury, and that while it reprobates the absurdity of an equality of condition, it respects and upholds an equality of rights. In these tranquil retirements of genius and taste, in these classic groves of learning and science, we trust that religion and liberty have formed an inseparable alliance :-not, indeed, that -distorted religion, which engages the veneration of the enthusiast and the devotee, not that meretricious liberty which captivates the Utopian speculatist, or inflames the frantic demagogue; but religion, which rectifies the obliquities of human conduct, and liberty, which harmonizes the discordant interests of human society. In the one we shall find that meliorating influence, which subdues the impetuosity of the passions, without clouding the understanding, and from the other we shall derive all that can increase the enjoyments of social intercourse, without endangering the security of secial order. The one is professedly friendly to a rational, an enlarged, and an enlightened faith; the other is as resolutely hostile to indiscriminate innovation and tumultuous reform." P. 92.

ART. XVI. A Practical Treatise on Gas light.

By P. Accum. 8vo. 184 pp. Plates. 12s. Ackerman. WHEN a purchaser gives twelve shillings for a practical treatise upon gas-light, he does not expect to find fifty pages upon tallow-candles. He will expect also to find a volume much better arranged than the present. We will not say that there is not much entertaining and useful information on the subject of gas-light, but all might have been easily compressed, even with the plates, into a half-crown pamphlet. Mr. Accum is doubtless an exceedingly good operative chemist, but he does not understand the method of communicating his knowledge.

'As the public are now generally acquainted with this brilliant production, we need not give a long description of the apparatus. The coal which is to furnish the gas is placed in a retort; a pipe conveys the gas there created to the purifier, which consists of three departments: the first is filled with water, through which the gas is purified in its passage; the second is filled with a solution of caustic alkali (potass) in the proportion of 'two of alkali, and one of water, or a mixture of quick-lime and water, of the consistence of very thin cream. In this compartment the non-inflamable gasses and other extraneous products are separated from the carbonated hydrogen. In the third department the tar is deposited: and the gas thus purified passes into the gassometer, by the pressure of which it is distributed to all parts of the town.

ART. XVII. Manuel du Voyageur. In French, Italian, and English. By Mad De Genlis; improved by P. A. Cignani. 6s. 6d. Leigh. 1815.

THIS is an indispensable travelling companion, both in Italy and France. Every want that can be felt, every question that can be asked by a traveller is anticipated in this little volume, and expressed in the purest and most conversational phrases. The subjects of the dialogues are ingeniously selected and skil fully arranged, and being comprised in a small volume of the size and shape of a small note-book can be instantly turned to without inconvenience or delay. Tables of foreign coins, and their respective values, are added, which renders the whole a perfect publication. We strongly recommend it the notice of every one who is meditating a tour to the Continent.

ART. XVIII. French Interpreter, consisting of Familiar Conversations, &e. By F. W. Blagdon. 6s. 6d. Leigh. 1815.

"Will you breakfast? | Voolay voo dayjeunnay? | Voulez vous déjeuner?"

ART. XIX. The Belgian Traveller; or a Complete Guide through the Netherlands. By E. Boyce. 16mo. 85, Leigh. 1815.

WITH a good map of the Netherlands, and an excellent plan of Brussels, this little volume contains an amusing and useful account of all that can be worthy of a tourist's observation in Belgium. The routes are so well marked, and the account of the several places through which the road lies, is such, as to render "The Belgian Traveller" indispensable to any stranger who is about to traverse the countries which it describes.
