Topographical and Historical Sketches of the Town of Lancaster, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; furnished for the Worcester Magazine and Historical Journal. By Joseph Willard. Worcester. Charles Griffin. 8vo. pp. 90.

This pamphlet on every page evinces in its author the true spirit of an antiquary. None but a man thoroughly imbued with the love of facts, could have collected such a mass of them as is here embodied. The laborious service, however, entitles the author to the thanks of the public; and the result must prove highly acceptable to those who are particularly interested in the ancient town, whose records have been so diligently searched, as well as to the future historian of this part of our country.

The act of incorporation of the town of Lancaster was prior to that of the county of Worcester. The author must necessarily, therefore, have consulted the records of Middlesex, to which Worcester once belonged. And, if we mistake not, it was prior even to the incorporation of Middlesex, which must have sent him to the records of Suffolk for some of his facts. Notwithstanding the difficulty of collecting information from such divers sources, and from records necessarily imperfect and almost illegible from their age, Mr. Willard has written out the civil and ecclesiastical history of his ancient town with great minuteness, and, we believe, with the most

us regard to the accuracy of his dates. The history of the successive generaties of a goou the most ancient families of the town, will render the work highly life of Mr. Adams, a t scendants of those families, now scattered over services, and an account of his first rely New England, but the interior of

AMERICAN EDITIONS OF FOREIGN WORKS.

Practical Observations on Popular Education. By H. Brougham, Esq. M. P. F. R. S. From the Twentieth London Edition. Boston. Published at the Office of the "Massachusetts Journal." 8vo. pp. 36.

We are glad to perceive, that this rich and instructive pamphlet has been reprinted in Boston, in a form calculated for wide circulation. And we think it will augur ill for the character and discrimination of our reading public, if one edition is not eagerly sought for in this country, where almost all education may in the strictest sense be called popular, when twenty have been quickly disposed of in England. The spirit of the author is truly philanthrophic; and the work, as we should anticipate, is full of the most judicious and practical remarks upon the means of diffusing knowledge; most of which are as applicable to the condition of our community as to that of the country where they were suggested and first published.

8vo.

THE author of this work resembles in many particulars the celebrated Dr. Kitchiner. Like him, he has produced a discursive book, which, purporting to relate to the science of eating, does, nevertheless, relate to almost any thing; like the Doctor, too, he mingles so much sound philosophy with his Epicurism, and so much good sense with his simplicity, that we cannot always tell, whether we should laugh with him or at him. So long, however, as we are made to laugh, we should not be too critical about the rationale of so agreeable a result; and we must admit, that the author's object, if this was his object, is completely effected. To speak without further periphrasis, we have found the "Physiologie du Gout" an entertaining work, and have read through the two sizeable octavos, which bear this strange title, with a good deal of amusement.

These volumes, beside the amusing nature of their contents, derive a claim to our notice from the circumstance, that the writer of them spent some years in the United States, and that he takes more than one occasion to touch upon this country and its inhabitThe work is attributed to M. Brillat de Savarin, an avocat of Paris, who resided in this country during the French Revolution, to the leaders of which, he seems not to have been very acceptable, being probably a man of too good taste, if we may
