Review Of Literature, &C.
Mr . Burford ' s New Panorama of the Ruins of the Temples of Baalbec . Having been favoured with a private view of this most interesting picture , ive cannot but urge every parent to take his family to this view , which , with others of a similar description , gives the youthful mind a far more correct idea , and more substantial data , than can possibly be conveyed beither a lengthened of or tedious perusal of
y survey maps , documents ; whilst , at the same time , it causes the wholesome reflection to arise as to the transitions which must take place , not only in the current events of life , but in the most grand and solid monuments of antiquity . Independently , hoivever , of these valuable considerations , the picture exhibits that exquisite perspective and aeriel effect for which Mr . Burford is so eminently celebrated , and is worthy the inspection of every admirer of the arts , whether as relative to the subject itself , or the
way in whichit is treated .

We regret the late arrival of many papers—among them the Londonderry Standard , containing an Address to Bro . Alex . Grant from the Hiram Lodge . We have omitted to state in its proper place , that the reported
