Review Of Literature, The Drama, &C.
to locate themselves in New South Wales . The soil , the best situations —agricultural advantages and difficulties—are impartially displayed . The rank of the author , that of professor in the Australian College , is a sufficient guarantee for the correctness of his information , and the integrity with wMch he has performed Ms task . No emigrant should be without it : he will find it a guide and counsellor . The table of wages , & c . is most important , and will serve , we should think , to regulate many who are disposed to emigrate .
Moubray on the Breeding and Rearing of Domestic Poultry . Sherwood , Gilbert , and Piper . —The author has in-an amusing volume conveyed much practical information : his work is equally valuable to the naturalist and farmer . The most approved methods of breeding and rearing poultry and cattle , both for domestic and ornamental purposes , are ably discussed : careful instructions for the management of the dairy and aviary given . It has already reached its seventh edition , and doubtless will find a place on the shelves of every agriculturist and poultry rearer .
The Practical Elocutionist , by Alexander Bell . Sherwood , Gilbert , and Piper . —We anticipate that the exceedingly clever work of Mr . Bell will supersede the old dull routine of school elocution . A graceful and correct mode of delivering our sentiments is one of the characteristics of a well-informed mind , and by care may be attained by all who do not labour under a peculiar visitation of nature . The selections display a cultivated taste , and intimate acquaintance with the standard literature of our country . Some of the pulit extracts are of peculiar
p beauty , and calculated to impress upon the youthful mind a . strong sense of religion . The Horse , by John Lawrence . — The humorous preface that heralds the second edition of this useful book , inclined us beforehand to judge most favourably of the author . Upon perusal we have not been disappointed : the character of the horse , the indigenous breed , and the various attempts made to improve itboth in ancient and modern
, times , are well discussed : all that can interest the veterinary surgeon and sporting gentleman , from the management of the breeding stud , the breaking of the colt , shoeing , the diseases to which tMs noble animal is subject , the arrangement of the stable , to the management of the animal in the field , are ably treated on . The whole Mstory , physical and pMlosophical , of the horse , is contained in this little volume . No gentleman , or veterinary surgeon , should be without it .
Tales of a Physician , by W . H . Harrison . Henry Washbourne . — The author has evidently read much and thought more ; the tales before us betray an intimate acquaintance with that mystery the human heart ; passion—feeling , and incident , are admirably blended . We dismiss them with our best commendation .
The present state of Aural Surgery , by W . Wright , Esq . Hurst , St . Paul's Church Yard . —There is no employment so honourable to the human character as that wMch aims at alleviating the misfortunes of our fellow-creatures . The author has in a familiar manner written upon the causes and treatment of diseases of the ear and of deafness : he has had much experience : there is much research , an evident acquaintance with the methods of treating these diseases in the most celebrated schools of surgery , and an earnest desire to render his work useful , apparent throughout the undertaking .
