To the publisher of _The Angel's Song_, Mr. Sampson Low, we are also
indebted for a very stirring and interesting book, _The Whaleman's
Adventures in the Southern Ocean_, edited by the Rev. Dr. Scoresby, from
the notes of a pious and observant American clergyman, whilst embarked,
on account of his health, on a whaling voyage to the South Seas and
Pacific Ocean. That Dr. Scoresby should think the matter of this work so
far novel and interesting, as well as "calculated for conveying useful
moral impressions," renders it scarcely necessary to say another word in
its recommendation. But it has a higher object than mere amusement; its
object is to enforce upon those "who go down to the sea in ships," the
duty of "remembering the Sabbath Day to keep it holy."
Here our editorial labours have been interrupted by a band of infant
critics to whose unprejudiced judgments we had entrusted _Peter Little
and the Lucky Sixpence_,--each begging to be allowed to keep the book.
Good reader, do you wish for better criticism? Worthy author of this
_Verse Book for Children_, do you wish for higher praise?
We have received the following Catalogues:--John Petheram's (94. High
Holborn) Catalogue, Part CXIX. No. 13. for 1850 of Old and New Books;
Bernard Quaritch's (16. Castle Street, Leicester Square) Catalogue No.
22. of English, French, German, and Italian Books; John Lyte's (498. New
Oxford Street) Book Catalogue for 1851.
