Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in Ilistory. Six Lectures, reported with Emendations andAdditions, by Thomas Carlyle , Author of the French Revolution, Sartor Resartus, &c. ElegantVyyrinted in 1 vol. 12mo.
A masterly production.—Even the single lecture to which we sh all eonfine our Office, is,. we feel,,a greater theme than can be sufficiently illustvated at our hands. We have elsewhere noticed a newe4ition of Sartor Resartus, by the same author. It is a very remarkable work, though we must con-fass somewhat too German and transcendental for our taste. We rejoice to say that we find no such,•tfficulties besetting us in these disquisitions on heroes. They are in truth philosophical enough,abrupt enough, tearing enough ; but their ph-ilosophy is elear, distinct, and intelligible ; their abrupt-»ess is the vigor of Demosthenes ; their tearing the acts of a giant who has a wilderness to buratIbrough. and open to the rest of mankind .”—Ltterary Gazette .

We hail with pleasure the republication of this able work.

“ At the age of sixty-three I have undertaken to eolleet and edit my poetical works, with the last•orrections that I can expect to bestow upon them. They have obtained a reputation equal to my
wighes.Thus to collect and revise them is a duty which I owe to that part of the public by whom
Aey have been auspiciously received, and to those who will take a lively concem in my good name,when I shall have depavted .”—Extract from Author 3 s Prcface.
u The critic has little to do but to point out the existence of the work, the beauty of the type andembellishments, and the cheapnees of the cost; the public has long ago acknowledged its merit and
• «stablished its reputation.The author of the ‘Life of Nelson’ must live a« long as our history
and language endure. There is no man to whom the latter owes a greater Obligation—no man who-bas done more for literature by his genius, his labours, and his Iife. M — Times.
