COUSIN ELIZABETH. Just Published by L. C. Bowies, No 124 Washington StreetCousin Elizabeth, By the Author of a visit to the Sea Side. With gentle yet prevaling force Blessing and blest where'er she goes. Editor's Note.-The present work is the production of an English lady, the author of the Visit to the sea-side. She possesses, in common with Miss Edgeworth, the rare accomplishment of being able so to enter into the characters of children, as to compose books for them, which are equally interesting to older readers, as correct and beautiful ehxibitions of human nature at a most interesting period. The great charm of what she has written is its truth. Her children feel, act and talk like children. To them therefore, this, as well as her other work, is full of moral instruction; for it introduces them to characters which they can comprehend and sympathise with, and places distinctly before them the amiable or unamiable nature of dispositions to which they feel a tendency within themselves. At the same time, it furnishes excellent lessons for parents, by showing what children are, and how they are to be influenced to what is good. It affords fine examples of the manner in which their attention is to be excited, and knowledge conveyed to their minds. And the truth which is beautifully illustrated throughout, that disinterested kindness is the essential requisite in promoting their moral improvement, is equally applicable to mankind in general. The editor does not fear that he is saying too much, considering the size of this work; for a book which gives so faithful and animated a picture of children, is one of the most pleasing and useful that can be written. It is now published from the original maunscript. The author has shown her confidence in the kindness of our American community in desiring that it should be first introduced to them; and the editor, feeling assured of its favorable reception, has had much gratification in being the means of executing her wish.

I am about to bring this series of papers to a conclusion-which I am afraid my readers will be as glad to see as I am-by comparing the claims of religion with other claims. I am quite sensible that the observations I have made, are but hints, and very plain hints; but I have hoped they might suggest to some of my readers a method of reasoning on religious subjects, which they would find useful and interesting, in a more extensive application. Whether I have in any measure succeeded, I have no means of judging; and I can only take that for my comfort in close, which was my encouragement to begin-the consciousness of intending well. Religion, as it has evidences to be weighed, records to be interpreted, means and methods of culture, and |
