A NEW SERIES of ARABIAN NIGHTS' ENTERTAINMENTS, selected from the Original Oriental MS., and now first translated into English by the Rev. GEORGE LAMB, 3 vols. small 8vo. 18s.

The Arabian Tales possess other charms to recommend them, besides the abundance of the marvellous and supernatural which they contain, namely, the vivid picture they present of the customs, manners, prejudices, and every thing in the slightest degree referring to the nations among whom the wondrous incidents they relate are supposed to have occurred. Will it not, then, be a sufficient recommendation of these volumes to state that they fall by no means short of their greatly admired predecessors in this respect? Indeed, several of these Tales are more than either works of fiction, or pictures of the customs, manners, &c. of the nations of which they treat. Some of them will be found to contain much excellent moral instruction and philo. sophical reflection. The imaginative and descriptive parts will be found equally interesting and beautiful."

OF THE

FOREIGN REVIEW

AND

CONTINENTAL MISCELLANY.

THE want of a Review, which shall comprehend the Literature of Foreign Nations, is sufficiently obvious. It is a fact which must, of necessity, be assented to by every one competent to form an opinion on the subject. To import the manufactures of our neighbours, and to exclude their ideas;—to be careless of the art, the science, the imagination, the wit, the spirit, and the intelligence they possess, is neither consonant with philosophy nor common sense.

Nevertheless, we have (until the present year) altogether disregarded the Literature of the Continent. With the exception of a few books on unimportant subjects, which have been translated from French and German authors, we have been content to remain utterly ignorant of the mass of information and amusement, which Foreign Literature presents. From whatever cause this originally sprung, there is now no reason why it should exist. It has become, in fact, a stigma, which every one who respects the English character is desirous to see obliterated.

The public, generally speaking, are not aware of the immense strides which foreign intellect has taken within the last few years. Even in France these have been great; but throughout the States of Germany, and all the northern kingdoms of Europe, the change has been almost incredible. There is no subject that has not been touched upon, and few left without manifest addition or improvement. Is it wise or well to cast all this aside, and shut ourselves up in the citadel of our own peculiar thoughts? We think not. Thought is a robust and active spirit, which demands collision with others of its kind. There is no subject which a writer may not improve by communication with his fellows; and the more extensive this communication the better. For there is a mannerism in thinking as well as in style; and to limit our intercourse on such topics to our countrymen only, is to ensure this mannerism, and to fetter the operations of our own minds.
