XV.-Hawbuck Grange; or the Sporting Adventures of Thomas Scott, Esq. By the Author of Handley Cross; or the Spa Hunt, &c. With eight Illustrations by Phiz. London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1847.
This work is probably well known already to all sporting readers, having made its first appearance in the columns of Bell's Life in London; and having there acquired great popularity, the numbers have now been collected into an octavo volume, very well got up, and embellished by some of Phiz's clever and spirited caricatures. The sportsman will thus gladly welcome an old friend-a delightful substitute for the Annual Register,' so gravely recommended by Mister Tom Scott' as the proper reading for a frosty (or blank) day. But it is our opinion that others besides sportsmen will find amusement in this volume.
It is not easy indeed to say why those who, like ourselves, (we blush to own it) scarcely know a hound from a terrier, should take pleasure in reading of all the intricacies of the chase. Nevertheless this author brings the whole picture so vividly before the mind's eye, with such grotesqueness of form, such freshness of colouring, such vivid enjoyment, such original and racy observations-in a word, truth and life are so excellently rendered, that probably those only who could see the actual scenes without enjoyment-and they are few in number--will take up the book without pleasure.
XVI.-The Catholic Music-Book; containing appropriate and easy Pieces for most of the Services of the Church. Part V. London, Dublin, and Derby: Richardson and Son, 1847.
We can but register the progress of this cheap and admirable collection. The present Part brings us to page 120, and contains two Litanies of our Blessed Lady, the "Laudate Dominum," and a " Hymn to St. Joseph." The typographical execution is exceedingly tasteful, and, what is far more important, appears to be scrupulously accurate.
We have barely space to announce the appearance of several important works,-amongst which are three very excellent volumes: The Life of St. Aloysius of Gonzaga, by Her Serene Highness Maria Elisa, Princess di Gonzaga, &c.-The Catholic Christian's Complete Manual, by Ambrose Lisle Phillipps, Esq., of Grace Dieu Manor-and the Introduction to a Devout Life, by the Rev. James Jones. We promise notices of these in our next number.
