We perceive that J. N. Reynolds' Voyage of the United States' Frigate Potomac--Dr. Bird's Infidel--Tocqueville's Democracy in America--Professor Longfellow's Outre-Mer--and John P. Kennedy's Horse-Shoe Robinson--all of which we noticed favorably in the Messenger--are highly praised in the London Literary Gazette. Outre-Mer sells in that city for nearly $5--Horse-Shoe Robinson, and the Infidel, for $6 50 each. A superb work has appeared in Paris--_Descriptions of the French Possessions in India_, viz: Views of the Coromandel and Madras Coasts--Sketches of the Temples, Gods, Costumes, &c. of the inhabitants of French India. The book is richly ornamented with lithographic plates of exquisite finish, and altogether the publication is worthy of the government under whose direction it has been gotten up. The July number of the London New Monthly Magazine contains a portrait of Mrs. Hemans (from the bust by Angus Kecher,) engraved on steel by Thompson. This is the only likeness of Mrs. Hemans ever published. There is also an article by Willis entitled _The Gipsey of Sardis_. Since the secession of Campbell in 1831, Samuel Carter Hall has edited the New Monthly--the editorship of Bulwer only enduring for a short interval. _Robert Gilfillan_, of Edinburg, the Scottish lyrical writer, has published a second edition of his songs. Some of them are said to be of surpassing beauty. Mr. Hoskins' _Travels in Ethiopia above the Second Cataract of the Nile_, are very highly spoken of. The work is a large quarto; and the expense of getting it up has been so great, as to leave its author no chance of remuneration. It contains ninety illustrations, by a Neapolitan artist of great eminence. The risk attending the publication of so valuable a book, will operate to deter any American bookseller from attempting it. The new number of Lardner's Cyclopædia is _A History of Greece, vol. 1, by the Rev. C. Thirwall, M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge_. There will be three volumes of it. Alas, for our old and valued friend, Oliver Goldsmith! The book is said to be faithful--but very stupid. _Anecdotes of Washington, illustrative of his patriotism and courage, piety and benevolence_, is the title of one of the last of the "_Books for the Young_." It is a Scottish publication. Sir James Mackintosh has just issued _A View of the Reign of James II, from his accession to the enterprize of the Prince of Orange. The History of the Revolution in England in 1688_, a late work by the same author, sold for three guineas: it was reprinted by the Harpers. The present book is said to be nothing more than a part of the former work in a new dress. The Honorable Arthur Trevor has issued a volume of _The Life and Times of William III, King of England, and Stadtholder of Holland_. _Irving's Crayon Sketches, Parts I and II_, have been reprinted in Paris by Galignani. _Fanny Kemble_ has been also reprinted there.
