THE LIFE OF MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO. By J. F. HOLLINGS. The name of Cicero himself--the universal admiration of his genius--the era in which he flourished--and the part he enacted, bring his memoirs within the circle of subjects suited to domestic education. His Life, by Middleton, is more acceptable to the learned than the learner, and this conclusion has led to this epitome, in which the text contains the uninterrupted personal memoir of the philosopher in a popular form; while such information as belongs more distinctively to the department of ancient literature is conveyed by means of notes and references. SIX MONTHS IN THE WEST INDIES. By HENRY NELSON COLERIDGE, M.A. This little work, which has already received public approbation, is calculated to amuse in no ordinary degree, for the descriptions of scenery are vivid, the pictures of society graphic, and the adventures and anecdotes interesting and varied. LIVES OF THE MOST EMINENT BRITISH PAINTERS, SCULPTORS, AND ARCHITECTS. By ALLAN CUNNINGHAM. _6 vols., with Portraits of Thirty-two of the most distinguished British Artists, &c._ The author has collected in six small volumes the History of Art in England, and the Lives, Characters, and Works of its Professors,--the materials for which were previously scattered through many volumes. On this account, these biographies have been considered a valuable acquisition to literature; and although the critical observations will render them valuable to the student, yet, being free from the dry technicalities of virtù, and abounding with personal anecdote, they are not less alluring to the ordinary reader. The annals of Art, and the lives of its followers, though deficient in the spirit-stirring incidents of the warrior and the politician, possess an interest not less attractive. The labours and struggles of genius, the success of perseverance, and the inutility of natural talent separated from prudence, as exemplified in these biographies, will afford a useful moral lesson, at the same time that the perusal of the stories of such lives is a source of pleasure and entertainment. THE HISTORY OF THE JEWS. By REV. H. H. MILMAN. Complete in 3 vols. _With Original Maps and Woodcuts._ With the exception of Josephus, we have no historian of the Jews, and he lived at a period too remote and too limited to enable him to do justice to his subject. It is true, many events have been narrated by Rollin, and the authors of the Universal History, and noticed by commentators,--but a narrative at once Christian and liberal in its tone, spirited and elegant in its language, and depicting with something like kindred enthusiasm and eloquence, the manners, wars, religion, and policy of the most extraordinary of nations, was still wanting.
