Campbell's Exile of Erin.-We thought it too absurd to notice a paragraph in the Irish newspapers, accusing Mr. T. Campbell of hav. ing stolen his beautiful little poem, the Exile of Erin, from a Mr. Reynolds. What Mr. Campbell has done proves how fully capable he was to write this piece; and though the charge has been reiterated with the addition of circumstantial evidence, we must confess that we are among those who must hold it to be founded on some entire mistake.

The Epitaph which appeared among our last week's Varieties required an introduction: we intended it as a specimen of the march of intellect, or rather of geniusfor it would hardly be credited that it is copied from a consolate husband of the deceased, a waiter in one of the handsome slab just put up in St. Paul's Church, Covent Garden, and is the literal literary production of the disadjacent taverns!!!

2. The Armenians; a Tale of Constantinople. By Charles Mac Farlane, Esq.

"Mr. Mac Farlane has in this work condensed, in a most agreeable manner, all the pictures, reflections, and anecdotes, of his oriental tour."-Standard.

"His volumes are filled most admirably with details of curious customs, characteristic anecdotes, and scenes depicted with the eye of an artist, and the feeling of the poet."- Literary Gazette. "The Armenians is a romance of that class the merits of which lie rather in their realities than their fiction. It contains descriptions of scenery unsurpassed by any spot in the world, and pic tures of the habits and usages of a foreign people in a state of society perfectly anomalous."-Athenæum.

"The author will appreciate our respect for his talents, when we say he has done more than any man to complete the picture of the east, dashed off by the bold pencil of the author of Anasta sius.'"-Edinburgh Literary Journal.

The main purport of his book is specifically adapted to the very points on which the curiosity of the moment is most alive. For the condition of this part of the Eastern World, of its politics, temper, and prominent interests just at present, an authority so recent and so satisfactory as Mr. Mac Farlane is a greater piece of good fortune than it would have been reasonable to expect."-Edinburgh Review.

These publications are universally acknowledged to be the most comprehensive treatises on every branch of knowledge that can possibly be contained within their limits, each consisting of not less than seventy-two pages. The style in which they are written mind in a manner unattainable by the use of more elaborate and is at once clear and simple, conveying instruction to the youthful comprehensive Works.
