sion, where works of a graver character would fail of effect when perused, or more probably be never perused at all. We commend, therefore, this new effort of Christian philanthropy, and think it likely to be followed by useful results.-Charleston Courier.

In the general character of those fashionable, and as to appearance, attractive volumes, the annuals, there is so much that is trashy and unprofitable, that it was with no little misgiving we looked into the pages of one which is now before us, entitled "The Religious Souvenir." The matter is altogether of religious and moral tendency, not chargeable with sectarian bias, and such as the most scrupulous need not hesitate to adınit into family reading.-The Friend.

This little work is intended to furnish what was heretofore wanted a Christmas and New Year's offering, which may be bestowed and accepted by the most scrupulous.-Pittsburg Gazette.

We are happy to announce the tasteful appearance and valuable matter of the Religious Souvenir for 1833. Dr. Bedell is as much distinguished for his belles-lettres attainment, as for the profoundness of his scholarship and the purity of his motives. He has found himself at home in this tasteful enterprize and in good company with the associated talent of the contributors to his beautiful pages.-N. Y. Weekly Messenger.

The engravings for the work are chiefly from English designs, by the best American artists, and may challenge comparison with any contemporary works of this country. The literary contributions to the volume are in strict accordance with the name.-United States Gazette.

This work is got up in an unusual style of neatness and beauty, and ornamented with engravings of great elegance. The contents of the work are, as might have been expected from the high character of the Editor, of a moral and religious description, intended to produce the best effects upon the minds of its readers.-Daily Advertiser.

Messrs. Key & Biddle have published a handsome little volume, entitled Religious Souvenir, and edited by the Rev. Dr. Bedell. It is embellished with beautiful engravings, and printed with elegance. The literary contents are very goodsoundly pious, and free of all invidious remark or allusion. True christianity is that which purifies the heart, liberalizes the feelings, and amends the conduct.-National Gazette.

MEMOIRS OF DR. BURNEY, arranged from his own Manuscript, from family papers, and from personal recollections, by his daughter, Madame D'ARBLAY.

The Monthly Review in noticing the Memoirs of Dr. Burney, expresses the opinion “that a more amusing and profitable production has not appeared for many years."

Several literary gentlemen on this side of the Atlantic who have examined the work, declare that next to Boswell's Life of Johnson, it is the most attractive and interesting memoir ever published.
