'WONDERS OF THE HEAVENS.'--A superb large quarto volume has recently been put forth by Messrs. ROBERT P. BIXBY AND COMPANY, entitled, 'The Wonders of the Heavens: being a Popular View of Astronomy, including a full Illustration of the Mechanism of the Heavens; embracing the Sun, Moon, and Stars, with descriptions of the planets, comets, fixed stars, double-stars, the constellations, the galaxy or milky way, the zodiacal light, aurora-borealis or northern-lights, meteors, clouds, falling-stars, aerolites, etc.; illustrated by numerous maps and engravings.' We cannot too highly commend this volume to our readers. The author, Mr. DUNCAN BRADFORD, has kept constantly in view one object, viz: to make his subject plain and interesting to the people. Instead of mingling mathematics with his great theme, to such an extent as to alarm the neophyte at the very threshold of the temple of astronomy, he has with a wise judgment selected from the best works, including the latest, those parts that were least encumbered with the abstruse and the unintelligible; and the illustrations serve to make his sublime teachings still more clear. ROGERS' POEMS.--We have not seen a more beautiful volume for a twelvemonth than the new illustrated edition of 'Poems by SAMUEL ROGERS, with revisions and additions by the author,' recently issued by Messrs. LEA AND BLANCHARD, Philadelphia. It is indeed in all respects an _exquisite_ work; being printed upon the finest drawing-paper, with a large clear type, and illustrated with ten engravings on steel, from paintings by the very first artists in England. The volume opens with the 'Pleasures of Memory,' and contains every thing from the author's pen which his maturest consideration has deemed most worthy of preservation. We cordially commend this admirable work to the attention of every reader of the KNICKERBOCKER to whom it may be accessible.
