adventures of Navigators and Travellers, Adventures, &c.-The most interesting extracted from ancient and modern narratives, by P. Blanchard. This work had been preceded by one adapted for youth. The value of a selection must at all times depend on the judgment of the selector: and on the skill exerted in abridging the the whole, or parts, of long accounts, in order to bring them within the reach of a due allowance of space, and cost. Among the histories contained in these two volumes are---that of the Seamen who wintered in Spitzbergen---that of Bontikoé--that of Selkirk, which gave to De Foe the Y

hint of Robinson Crusoe---that of M. Follie, who was kept by the inhabitants of the Zahara---that of Woodward among the Malays---the shipwreck of Prentice, in the Isle Royale of Canada, a history little known, though very interesting. We notice this work, partly because there are a number of striking and entertaining accounts, not in common circulation, to be met with on the continent, which have not yet been translated into our language, though well deserving of that distinction. But in general, the adventures of our countrymen form important parts of such selections.

The French people vindicated from the charge of inconstancy.

In 1808 the academy of Dijon proposed as a Prize Question-" Does the French nation deserve the reproach of fickleness, or versatility (légèrete) which it receives from foreign nations?" M. Le Moine was the writer who justified his nation, and whose work was crowned: he decided in the negative. Since that period, he has been employed in obtaining additional proofs in support of his decision. We cannot think that recent events in France contribute much to strengthen his opinion; for if the French nation has really changed its loyalty, it certainly must be charged to their légèreté.

M. L. acknowledges that the French are distinguished by vivacity and quietude; which, says he, are commonly taken for fickleness. Cæsar, Livy, Tacitus, reproach our ancestors with fickleness, -but unjustly. He admits the gaiety the gallantry-the sociability of the French-these have been mistaken for inconstancy. Whereas, the French have in all ages given proofs of their tience, their politeness, and their attachment to their laws and ancient habitudes. Even Montesquieu himself, according to this writer, has not done justice to French perseverance. The industry, and the agriculture of the French are highly praised;-their alacrity and perseverance in commercial enterprizes, notwithstanding the obstacles in France, to the exertions of industry. Their adherence to their religion-their magistrates ;-sciences, &c. In all these, says M. L. they are eminently steady. Would we could add our agreement with his opinion as to their politics!!

susceptible of forming different shades, either single or compound, applicable to thread, or to cotton thread, equal in solidity (or durability) to that called Indian red." The writers will be at liberty to disclose their process, or not. The Academy will determine from specimens, each weighing five pounds, at least. The prize is a gold medal, value 300 francs.

Green for dyeing, demanded.

The Imperial Academy of Sciences and Belles Lettres, at Rouen, has proposed for its Prize Question to be decided in the present year-"To find a green colour which is

The importance of such a discovery to our manufactures is well known; and the means taken by the French, in the center of their manufacturing district, de- ' serves not merely attention, but perhaps, imitation.

On the Beautiful, in the Arts. The beautiful in the arts has long been an object of research; and many attempts in-have been made to reduce it to principles and rules which may be expressed in terms. Whether this will ever be the fact, it is not easy to decide. It has engaged the pens of various artists, and of a still greater number of men of letters. An additional volume has lately appeared, at Paris, from the pen of M. Droz. This writer discusses pa-Music-it is, says he, first simplicity,the beautiful in Poetry, in Painting, in then variety,---then originality :---to which, he insists on adding, that every specimen of the beautiful must excite moral ideas. He defends this latter principle with much which might be put upon it; and which argument against the false interpretations might prove at once vexatious and degrading to the arts. He notices subjects inimical to the beautiful; and concludes by allusions to the means of producing the beautiful. The subject is confessedly difficult; and the power of reducing these principles to practice is not possessed by every one who desires it.

The “Garland :" or origin of the most splendid and valuable flowers cultivated in France, with their history'; by M. Malo, deserves notice; if it be only for the suitability of its title to its subject. But beside that, we are of opinion that a concise manual, describing the countries where such flowers are native, by whom introduced, and at what time; with particulars of their history, and properties, &c. would make a very entertaining book for young persons;-to which also their seniors might occasionally have recourse for instruction and gratification.
