Literary Notices
is not to be learned , as this hook iiicontestably shows ; and whilst it will make many , like ourselves , long for the times of our boyhood , when , free from the cares ivhich journalism engenders , " Redolent of joytintl youth , To lire . uhe a second spring , " we enjoyed the pure country air , and disported ourselves in this glorious exercise on the village common or green , it will instruct all those who are
still able to follow the sport , in which we can ourselves only long to participate , but long in vain . The Cricketer ' s Manual . By BAT . London . Baily Brothers . This book is equally valuable in its way , as it contains a brief review of the character , history , and elements of cricket , ivith the laws appertaining thereto , as revised by the Marylebone Club , from which all the directions of the game , and for the formation of other clubs emanate . It will be a useful companion to the cricketer , being of a size which may be easily carried about with him , as a means of reference in all cases of dispute .
Some Recollections of Mi-s . Anderson ' s School . A Book for Girls . By JANE M . AVINNAHD . London : A . Hall , Virtue and Co . This little work is calculated to be exceedingly useful in forming the minds of female children . The authoress entirely meets our own views in her preface of what female education ought to be , and , in her portraiture of a well regulated school , shows what course of instruction is best suited to make pupils self-relying and intelligent in after life . She aims at practical results ; and thus is in advance of the advocates of those theoretical systems ,, which ivould constrain the youthful mind by artificial and too often insincere regulations , ivhich , once allowed to take root , too often produce the fruits of incurable misery and discomfort in after life .
Masonic Songs . Adapted to Modern Melodies . By Bro . S . N . EVANS , Lodge of Honor , 769 , Wolverhampton . Dedicated , hy permission , to the Right Plon . the Earl of Zetland , G . M . London : R . Spencer . This little brochure supplies a desideratum long required in the Craft . The old Masonic musical compositions have gone nearly out of date , and scarcely any attempt has been made to supply their places . Bro . Evans has , however , done much to make up for an acknowledged deficiency by providing the words in Masonic phraseology , which may be adapted to the best modern songs at present in vogue . The poetry is of the very best kind , and such as does him the largest amount of credit .
The White Chief ' s Urn , and other Poems and Contributions . By JANE MARIA DAVIS . London : R . Spencer . By an oversight , from which we cannot but express our deep regret , this volume of poems has too long escaped our attention ; for which we are anxionsto maice amends by stating how deserving it is of consideration , not only because-, tie versification is far above mediocrity ; but because the fair authoress has many claims upon us for consideration , inasmuch as she has
endeavoured to assist the several Masonic charities , and to spread their diffusive excellences as far as possible by the exercise of her talents . Amongst the most interesting features of her poetic flights , are several Odes to Charity , some of ivhich abound in fervent language and beauties of no ordinary excellence . These qualities ought especially to recommend the work to the patronage of the Craft , who in aiding it will pay no more than a merited debt of gratitude to one who has used her best exertions to make those principles known , which she has heard , form the basis of the integrity of the Order , Brotherly Love , Relief , and Truth .
