Review Of Literature, &C.
The Horse Shoe . By John Small . The Author of this poetical effusion , apprises us on the title page that it is " not for sale , " and that he does not affect the character of a literary man , albeit , however , he cannot gainsay the proverb— " Poeta nascitur , ' to be inapplicable to himself . St . Dunstan , who owed Old Nick a grudge , ditl not , as the tale has gone about , twinge him by the snout , but affixed to Satan
' s bifid paw a horse shoe ! The operation , and its consequences , are told in good metrical rhyme ; and " Horny , " as Old Nick is jocularly called , is made to acknowledge St . Dunstan to be no fool at his work . The Herald of Peace . Ward and Co ., London . Subjects—A Consideration of War as opposed to the Spirit of Christianity—Bishop Warburton on Duelling—Pauper Children—Borrows '
Bible in Spain—Peace proceedings in foreign parts , viz . America , France , West Indies—S . Regand ' s fourth Journey on the Continent—Peace Proceedings in England—Members of Parliament—Memorial of the London Peace Society , on the affairs of Morocco—Hayti and Tahiti—Miscellaneous—Passing Events . Such are the contents of the last number , which , like its predecessors , breathes the purest sentiments of universal peace ; to review it would require many pages , we can only repeat our best wishes for the success of a Society that has for its object no less than the regeneration of mankind .
