REVIEW THE MORAL MUSE-BRIEF SURVEY OF BOOKS.

It is somewhat remarkable, that when articles, which appear in any annual, are said to have a close connexion with the principles of revelation, vast numbers immediately entertain an idea, that they must be gloomy, monotonous, and uninviting. This, however, is by no means an invariable case, and to the charge, which an attachment to truth directs us to obviate, we adduce "The Olive Branch," as a decisive witness.

This book contains variety without losing sight of the family likeness, and presents compositions to the reader, that are cheer. ful without levity, and serious without being dull. Many of its incidents, anecdotes, and narratives, are so full of interest, that the reader forgets the diction in his ardour to follow the tale, and having traced it to a crisis, the moral leaves him scarcely any inclination to examine the vehicle which brought it to his mind. The style, however, is not deficient in energy and sprightliness; but if this had been the case, when the sentiment eclipses the language in which it is communicated, the reader might congratulate himself on the loss he has sustained.

REVIEW.-The Moral Muse: a Present for Young Ladies. By Emma Price. 8vo. pp. 224. Holdsworth. London. 1830.

IN looking at the exterior of this book, we cannot avoid observing the vast improvements, that, within the last two or three years, have been made in the appearance of works just issuing from the press. They have at present an elegance in their aspects which render them ornamental to any library in which they may find a place. For this newly-acquired neatness, we are, perhaps, indebted to the annuals; and we are bound to congratulate the compiler of this volume for having successfully followed the stimulating example.

But external appearance is of trifling consideration, when compared with what is enclosed within a splendid cover. also the fair selector has displayed much In this taste and feeling. We have perused with pleasure the greater portion of her extracts, but have not found one that we could wish she had omitted. In their general appearance they are too short; but this will not diminish their merit, and perhaps it may induce many a young lady to peruse them, while, if a little longer, she would have turned away from the frightful task. we cannot but regret that a great waste of Yet paper has been the price of this unmerited accommodation.

When the reader is informed that these selections have been made from works of our most celebrated poets, whose names are familiar to every lover of the muse, no necessary. In general the extracts are such other recommendation can be deemed description, though every one must allow as have but rarely appeared in works of this transplantation they have here received. that they are in no respect unworthy of the

BRIEF SURVEY OF BOOKS.

West Indian Slave, related by Herself, &c. 1. The History of Mary Pringle, a (Westley and Davis, London,) is full of heart-thrilling interest, exhibiting the curse of slavery in more vivid colours by its simplicity, than all the sorceries of eloquence vicissitudes, drawn from actual life, but a can command. It is an artless detail of detail in which brutality and horror are always predominant. The Englishman or woman who can read this narrative without ings which in this country we enjoy. a tear or a sigh, is unworthy of the bless

2. The Great Wheel, or the Fair London, 1831,) is a pleasing little allegoriField of Fortune: a Dream, (Houlston, cal tale, adapted for the young, and conveying, under varied similitudes, some important lessons, which every reader would do well to follow. Pride, pleasure, vanity, sequel shews, that "the end of these things appear with their allurements; but the is death."

3. Scraps and Sketches. by George Cruikshank, part 111. (Robins, London,) exhibit in various groups some of the most ludicrous figures that can be well imagined. so, appear in strange attitudes of distortion, Human beings, or, what at least should be and oddities of combination. In these vahas displayed his inventive ingenuity to rieties of droll representation, the author great advantage, and the humour with is scarcely less fanciful than the sketches which they are characterized and described, are grotesque.

4. Specimens of Penmanship, by J. P. Hemms, (Harding, London,) are exquisitely beautiful. Some months since, specimens somewhat similar, by the same artist, were noticed in the Imperial Magazine. Both the former and the present display a comriety, boldness, and delicacy of touch are mand of hand, which, for expansion, vaalmost inimitable. We have seen many manded our admiration, but to those of specimens of penmanship which have comMr. Hemms the enviable epithet of superlative may be justly awarded. ̧

5. A Portrait of His late Royal Highness the Duke of York, and one of his present Gracious Majesty, King William, by J. P. Hemms, (Harding, London,) appear also before us, struck out in their countenances and attire, with the author's magic pen. Of these beautiful displays of art, no description can convey an adequate idea, to a person who has not seen them, and he who has will not want any. Both the portraits, and the preceding specimens of penmanship, having been engraved with care, confer a due degree of honour on the skill of Alexander, Palethorpe, Goodwill, and Whiteman, whose names they respectively bear.

6. A Portrait of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, (Bagster, London,) exhibits the countenance in profile. In this representation he appears to be "A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief." The engraving is most beautifully executed, and, if properly mounted, would be an ornament to the most elegant apartment. But the principal circumstance that recommends this engraving to public attention, may be found in the following historical notice, inscribed on the plate.

"A true likeness of our Saviour, copied from the portrait carved on an emerald, by order of Tiberius Cæsar; which emerald, the emperor of the Turks afterwards gave out of the treasury of Constantinople, to Pope Innocent the Eighth, for the redemption of his brother, taken captive by the Christians."

"Drawn by N. Whittock, from an ancient tapestry, in the possession of the publisher, Mr. Samuel Bagster, Paternoster Row; and engraved on steel by J. Rogers."

7. Brotherly Love, a Sermon by Thomas Hill, Falmouth, (Mason, London,) is an unpretending discourse, which seems to have been published in vindication of the public character of the author. If this be a fair sample of his preaching, he has nothing to fear from calumny; for it is full of scriptural and benevolent sentiments. It is doubly orthodox, exhibiting both sound doctrine and right feeling.

8. Fables of the Day, written and arranged for the articles of all ages, by Francis Fitz-Esop, (Maunder, London, 1831,) direct their point in decent satire against some public occurrences, and some prominent persons of our day. The crimes and trial of Doctor Quack require no annotation. Cock Red and Cock Grey, will easily be understood. Other articles are of a similar character. Humour rather than severity is the predominant feature. In his

lines, the author manifests no malignant feelings, so that on the whole they are better calculated to excite pity and risibility, than to provoke irritation.

9. The Reading and Spelling Expositor, &c. by the Rev. Percy Baldwin, M.A. (Sherwood, London,) is of course intended for children. The arrangement is good, the lessons are simple, and the book promises to be useful.

10. Anti-slavery Reporter, Nos. 75, 76. is a periodical which we can scarcely ever read with patience. We wish the occasion of it were discontinued. It is provoking to perceive interest and power contending against the claims of justice and humanity. It has been justly observed that slavery has a natural tendency to blunt the amiable feelings of our nature. The truth of this position is daily exemplified, not only in all the slave-cultured colonies, but among those who, in this country, defend that inhuman system.

11. The Voice of Humanity, or the Conduct of Man towards the Brute Creation. No. III. (Nisbet, London,) exposes the inhumanity of a degraded portion of our race towards the animals, just as the AntiSlavery Reporter does the conduct of man towards his own species, because they are defenceless, and have black skins. The instances of wanton barbarity recorded in this number are almost too shocking to be transcribed.

12. Speeches of Mr. William Collins of Glasgow, delivered at Manchester and Liverpool, in favour of Temperance Societies, (Whittaker, London,) enter with much animation into the merits of this important subject. The author, however, does not appear to be actuated by a zeal untempered with prudence. His reasonings are cogent as well as spirited, and his calculations and conclusions are both striking and legitimate.

13. Historical Sketch of the Bank of England, &c. (Longman, London, 1831,) will furnish much amusing information to many readers; but it will be found chiefly interesting to political financiers, to capitalists, large fundholders, and commercial

men.

14. Thoughts on Usury and the Bill System, (Holdsworth and Ball, London, 1831,) is rather a religious than a commercial pamphlet. The author seems to argue, that all interest received for money lent is usurious. This he endeavours to prove from scripture; but we cannot congratulate him on his success. He has started objections which he has not answered.

MISSIONARY COMMUNICATIONS.

15. The Sabbath Question, one of Civil and Religious Liberty, (Holdsworth, London,) is discussed with reason, temperance, and propriety. The author admits, that, as the laws now stand, they are insufficient for the security of the conscientious against the unprincipled; but he thinks that a law might be framed which would secure this palladium of civil and religious liberty. We fear that in the present state of society many formidable obstacles will arise, against which no legislative enactments can guard. 17. Strictures on Predestination Vindicated, &c. in a Letter to a Friend, (Croft, March, Cambridgeshire,) conduct us without ceremony into the region of religious controversy, in which the old pros and cons of departed years reappear, with scarcely any change of raiment. It would seem from the title-page, that a Mr. Jarrom published some discourses on the 9th chapter of the Romans, which induced a Mr. Felton to come forth as the champion of predestination. The strictures before us vindicate Mr. Jarrom, and controvert Mr. Felton's reply; and, so far as we can judge from the quotations given, and the animadversions on them, Messrs. Felton, Antinomianism, and Co. are hardly beset. The name of the author lies concealed, but he had no need to allow either pride or humility to withhold it. He knows how to wield the polemic sword; and Mr. Felton, we presume, knows how to feel from its strokes. The subject, however, in its present state, will not excite much interest beyond the parties concerned, and their respective friends and acquaintance.

18. Twenty-nine Original Psalm Tunes, &c. by J. I. Cobbin, (Westley and Davies, London,) lend their aid to assist congregational singing, by banishing the accommodating catches of late so prevalent in our churches and chapels. To accomplish this desirable end, they are well adapted to do their part. Mr. Cobbin's tunes are devotionally harmonious, and admirably suited for all places of worship in which the congregations sing.

19. An Inquiry into the present Circumstances and Character of England, (Seeley, London,) furnishes a frightful picture of iniquity and distress. the author considers the cause of the latter, The former and thinks we in vain hope for an exemption from calamity, until we abandon our sins. His reasonings are vigorous, and supported by an appeal to the fate of ancient nations; and from the whole he infers the necessity of national and individual reformation, as that which can alone avert a similar fate.

DURING the progression of revolutionary principles upon the Continent of Europe, cution has been inflicted upon the Hebrews, it does not appear that any marked persesave at Hambro', where some time ago they lace without a cause. were assailed and maltreated by the popu although severe for the moment, was of But this persecution, short continuance, and tranquillity is again restored. We hope the christian name vile purposes of vindictive superstition, in will never more be thus prostituted to the that or in any other city; but that every punishment, in the exercise of his own free man will be safe from coercion, much less judgment as to the worship of God. mild exhortations, accompanied with sound If reasonings and plain gospel truths, fail to become instruments in the hands of God of conversion to true Christianity, will satanic acts of violence effect this? Satan never did, nor ever will, cast out Satan, much less of Jesus Christ; such acts are not in the can he bring into any soul the saving faith nature of things. The language of the true missionary is, "We pray you, in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God;" and exhortation and prayer are the only weapons of the missionary's warfare.

MISSIONARY COMMUNICATIONS.-JEWS.

France a disposition to encourage teaching It is with pleasure that we observe in amongst the Hebrews. From late accounts, it appears, that Hebrew teachers are each those of christian teachers in that nation, to receive a stipend, somewhat similar to out of the sums set apart for the support of christian ministers by the state.

Amidst a community where teaching is not resorted to by their priests or rabbins, ignorant of every divine institution, even and where the bulk of the people are grossly those revealed to and formed by those emiphets, of the stock of Abraham, their own nent servants of God, Moses and the profathers and brethren-teaching is an acquisition of the last importance. Awed into silence and submission by the lofty preten-. whose mysteries are concealed, rather than sions to wisdom and sanctity of rabbins, taught, in huge folios, and which, when explained, set aside the word of God, and set up a system of folly and impiety detestable in his mite, in the good work of imparting to every intelligent mind, whoever will cast of the country to which he belongs. Teach wisdom to captive Israel, will deserve well and he will, by the grace of God, become but a Hebrew the Old Testament thoroughly, prepared cordially to accept the New Testament, and embrace Jesus of Nazareth, as the true Messiah, the only Saviour of men.

In Poland, we observe with pleasure, some of the afflictive restrictions and imposts formerly imposed upon the Hebrews removed, and trust no hostility exists in that newly formed state to the brethren of our Lord, the ancient people of God.

Into Great Britain, from various nations, the emigrants of Hebrews have been of late greater than usual. Many of these are in distress, in fact in want of all things; and not a few are under divine impressions, that Jesus is the Christ. These, however, for the most part, struggle on, and rather bear with or wear down their convictions, than dare the awful consequences of apostacy, viz. rabbinical vengeance. O that this awful persecution were no more! Alas, for Israel! She groans under deeper bondage beneath her own elders, than beneath her captivity amidst the Gentiles. there are, even of Israel, who put on the Lord Jesus Christ by a living faith, and meekly endure all things for His sake who died for them. May their numbers increase daily! W. COLDWELL.

King's Square, Feb. 19th, 1831.

GLEANINGS.

Yet

Service berry Spirit.-The highly ornamented tree the pyrus aucuparia, or mountain ash, affords clusters of scarlet red berries, which have a remarkable acerb and bitterish taste. Yet they resemble the grape in containing sugar and natural yeast, in the due proportions to produce a perfect and spontaneous fermentation. Having expressed a quantity of their juice, I left it to ferment; and when the wine was perfect it was distilled, and an excellent brandy was obtained. The quantity of brandy afforded by the berries cannot now be certainly ascertained; but I am almost sure, that one gallon of the juice produced half a pint of spirit, which was moderately strong. It is very probable that the service-tree might be. come a very valuable one, if all its properties were known. It is a beautiful tree; its timber is valuable; and its berries, besides being beautiful, are capable of affording an excellent brandy.-Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopadia, vol. iii.

The Capture of Inca Atahualpa.-As soon as the sun rose, the Peruvian camp was all in motion. Atahualpa wished to dazzle the strangers by an imposing display of pomp and magnificence. Pizarro, on the other hand, keeping in his eye the success of Cortez and the fate of Montezuma, resolved to decide at once the destiny of Peru, by seizing the person of its monarch. A great part of the day was consumed by Atahualpa in preparations to heighten the splendour of his appearance. At length the procession was seen approaching by the Spaniards, when their patience was nearly exhausted by 'delay. Four harbingers, clothed in uniform, marched in front, to clear the way before the inca. Next came the prince himself, borne on a throne, and covered with plumes of feathers and ornaments of gold and silver. Some of his chief courtiers followed in similar state. Bands of singers and dancers hovered round the royal train; while troops, amounting, it is said, to thirty thousand men, accompanied the pageant. The Spaniards, drawn up in order of battle, awaited in silence the approach of the Peruvian procession. When the inca was near enough to be addressed, father Valverde, the chaplain to the expedition, stepped forward, and delivered a speech, in which the most mysterious doctrines of religion were mixed with the most unwarrantable assumptions of political powers, and in which he exhorted the Peruvian monarch to embrace the Christian faith, and to acknowledge himself the vassal of the king of Spain. This harangue, of which all that was not unintelligible, was highly offensive, drew from the inca, who appears not to have apprehended any danger from the handful of Spaniards whom he saw before him, a firm and contemptuous reply. The signal of attack was immediately given. Pizarro, with a chosen band,

rushed forward to seize the inca: and, notwithstanding the zeal with which the Peruvians sought to defend the person of their monarch, the unfortunate Atahualpa was carried off a prisoner. An immense booty was found on the field; and this single stroke of fortune seemed at once to justify the hopes of the most ardent imaginations.-Dr. Lardner's' Cabinet Cyclopædia, vol. xi.

Russian Diamonds.-There are few who have not heard of the discovery of diamonds made by two of Baron Von Humboldt's companions, when exploring the western declivity of the Ural mountains in Russian-Asia, in June, 1829. They were found on the estates of Connt Porlier, which are 160 miles to the west of the town of Perm, are of the finest water, and of a quality approaching more to the Indian than the Brazilian diamond. During the present summer (1830) the search was renewed with increased activity, and Professor Engelhart of Dorpat, who is ememployed on a second visit in those regions, writes to a German friend, that seven more diamonds have been discovered among the gold dust, on the same property, and on the same spot where the same number were found last year. They weigh from 38 and 2-3 of a karat to one karat each.

A Probe.-The man who is readier with a sermon

than a sixpence to the mendicant at his gate-who is

so pious himself that he is afraid of encouraging profligacy by giving alms to beggars of suspicious morality-who stints his table, lest excess of creature comforts should beget pride and lasciviousness in his household, and is austere and harsh to his dependants, lest by mildness he might make them forget they are servants-may be a very respectable sort of person, and of good repute with the world, yet he is but an indifferent Christian, let his attendance at church or at meeting-house be as pnnctual as it may.-Family Lib. British Sculptors: Bacon.

American Etiquette.-In New York, a lady never takes the arm of a gentleman, unless he is a relative, or one to whom she is about to be married. To be seen arm in arm, is to say, "We are engaged;" at least such is the construction adopted by this fastidious people. The ladies, therefore, in general, are forced to shun the ordinary familiarities of polite behaviour, to avoid the imputation of their being engaged to every man in whose company they may happen to be, and to prevent the disagreeable report of a match having" fallen through," in which they might be supposed interested, from the bare fact of their having tolerated civility. A slight touch of the elbow of a lady, intended as an auxiliary when crossing a gutter, treading a broken pavement, or stepping over a thimbleful of water, constitutes the prescribed homage of a New York beau. This prudish custom of affected reciprocal reserve must be prejudicial to the politesse of the place. It repudiates the characteristic ease and elegance of good breeding, and maintains an awkward distinction in mixed society: gentlemen are compelled to "keep at their distance," and ladies are rendered foolishly timorous to escape the on dits of officious observers. The exhibition of one fact will shew the excessive absurdity of this rule of society, which is too frequently adopted even in cities more southern than New York. A young lady, while walking with a gentleman, stumbled, and when her companion, to prevent her fall, grasped her hand somewhat tightly, "Oh, Sir!" she simpered." if it comes to that, you must ask my pa!"-American paper.

Somnambulism.-A most extraordinary case of sleepwalking occurred in the Castle Hill, Edinburgh, only a few weeks since. A tenant in the attic of one of the old houses there, which is five stories high, was alarmed by a snoring on the roof, and on the arrival of the watch, a man was discovered lying fast asleep on the house-top, within a few feet of the edge of the slates. The question was, how to get him relieved from his dangerous situation. M'Donald, the captain of the red engine, was had recourse to, who immediately, brought from head quarters the proper tackle for lowering persons from such situa tions in cases of fire, as practised in the late exercises of the fire establishment. The belt was put round the waist of the sleeper, and he was lowered in the most approved manner, and in the greatest safety, to the street. On his being awakened he proved to be a smith, named Joseph Brooks, who resided in the tenement adjoining, and who could only account for the situation in which he was found, by a habit of sleep-walking, to which he is addicted. He had been drinking the night before, and supposes that, on his way home, he had mistaken the house-top for his own bed. He states that on one occasion, about four years ago, he arose from his bed in Stirling, walked to the Forth, and swam across, and only awoke on reaching the opposite bank. On another occasion, also, he arose in his sleep, kindled his mother's fire, and after making porridge for the whole family, lay down again in bed, quite unconscious of the transaction.Caledonian Mercury.

LITERARY NOTICES.

Gibbon, the Historian.-The learned Gibbon was a curious counterbalance to the learned (may I not say less learned?) Johnson. Their manners and taste, both in writing and conversation, were as different as their habiliments. On the day I first sat down with Johnson, in his rusty brown, and black worsteds, Gibbon was placed opposite to me in a suit of flowered velvet, with a bag and sword. Each had his measured phraseology; and Johnson's famous parallel between Dryden and Pope might be loosely parodied in reference to himself and Gibbon. Johnson's style was grand, and Gibbon's elegant: the stateliness of the former was sometimes pedantic, and the polish of the latter was occasionally finical. Johnson marched to kettle-drums and trumpets; Gibbon moved to flutes and hautboys. Johnson hewed passages through the Alps, while Gibbon levelled walks through parks and gardens. Mauled as I had been by Johnson, Gibbon poured balm upon my bruises, by condescending, once or twice in the course of the evening, to talk with me the great historian was light and playful, suiting his matter to the capacity of the boy-but it was done more sua-still his mannerism prevailed; still he tapped his snuff-box; still he smirked, and smiled. and rounded his periods with the same air of good breeding as if he were conversing with men. His mouth, mellifluous as Plato's, was a round hole, nearly in the centre of his visage.-Colman's Random Records.

Coffee.-This article, as the West India merchants observe in a petition, is now taxed at the rate of 130 per cent. The present price in bond is 438. and the duty is 568. If it were untaxed, families could now supply themselves with coffee at 5d. per pound.Scotsman.

The Great Bell at Moscore.-At the foot of the Tower we found a most interesting relic, "The Great Bell." On a level with the ground was a platform of hoards; and a boy on the watch, on seeing us look at it, and wonder what it could cover, immediately ran and brought his father, who, opening a trap-door in the platform, disclosed a ladder, which he requested us to descend: we did so, and found ourselves in a dim light, and alongside of the mighty mass of metal. The cavity in which it stood was circular, and the bottom covered with eighteen inches of water, which did not, however, conceal a large fracture on one side. The Czar Kolokol, or king of bells, is twenty-one feet in height, sixty-seven feet in circumference, and four hundred and forty thousand pounds in weight.-Alexander's Travels in the East.

Kamschatka Hospitality.-When the Kamschatdale is in a peculiarly hospitable humour, or is anxious to conciliate a fellow countryman, whose hostility he dreads, he heats his subterraneous dwelling until the temperature becomes almost past endurance; then, undressing his guest and himself, he sets a profuse supply of food before him, and, during the regale, takes special care that the heat be in nowise slackened. Succumbing under the double assault of roasting and gormandizing, the visitor at length avows that nature can no longer withstand either the one assailant or the other; "mine host" is admitted to have done all the most punctilious civility can exact; and he then proceeds to levy a contribution on his honourable guest, in retaliation for the hospitable greeting which he has enjoyed.-Kotzebue's Last Voyage.

Rubens,

Anecdote-Rubens, when painting a lion from the only living specimen he ever had in his power to study, expressed a desire to see him in the act of roaring. Anxious to please him, the keeper plucked a whisker of the royal beast, and with such success, that he daily repeated the experiment. however, perceived such deadly wrath in the countenance of the animal, that he begged the man to desist the hint was at first regarded, but too soon neglected. The consequence was dreadful; the en raged lion struck down the keeper, and lay upon him the whole day; in the evening he was shot by a body of guards, but in the agonies of death the keeper was torn to pieces.

Artificial Eyes.-A Dr. Scudder, of Courtland-street. New York, has announced to the one-eyed public of America, that he has invented artificial eyes, which will roll, wink, and turn, at the pleasure of the wearer, quite as well as the natural ones."

Attorneys.-In the reign of Queen Elizabeth it was the custom for persons of landed property to bhe attorneys not to be mischievous. A lord's steward's account, which is deposited in the British Museum, has the following item :-" Gave an annuity of £10 per annum to an attorney to stop him, as he was a title-bringer, and solicitor to encourage a claimant."

Sympathy. It is from having suffered ourselves, that we learn to appreciate the misfortunes and wants of others, and become doubly interested in preventing or relieving them." The human heart," as an elegant French anthor observes, "resembles certain medical trees, which yield not their healing balm until they have themselves been wounded."

Widow's Friend Anniversary.-The annual Sermon for the relief of the necessitous Widows and Children of Protestant Dissenting Ministers will be preached on Wednesday, the 13th of April next, at the Rev. John Clayton's chapel, in the Poultry, by the Rev. John Burnett, of Camberwell: service to commence at twelve o'clock at noon precisely.
