r£B.B ANNUAL REGISTER; or, A View of the History,Politics, and Literature, for the Year 1820. Including aSketch of the Character of his late Majesty.

The respectable Editor of the Quarterly Journal, entitled, " The ScottishEpiscopal Review and Magazine," has in the Number for March, given thefollowing Account of this Volume.

" There is much information and amusement in this stately volume—more,indeed, of both, than we have met with in any similar work these many years.The events of 1820, no doubt, were of (he most interesting nature. The deathof one King, the accession of another, and above all the trial of Queen Caroline,give a degree of variety and importance to the annals of that period, which, forthe sake of national tranquillity, we can have no wish to see repeated.

" The character of our late Sovereign, and the political features of hisreign, are given with great ability and lairness. The history, too, of the Bill ofPains and penalties, to which we have just alluded, is narrated with strikingimpartiality: the facts of the case being candidly given, aud the speeches onboth sides reported with an equal fulness and accuracy. In regard to Prance,Spain, Portugal, and Naples, the progress of the revolutionary spirit, still soactive among our neighbours, is traced with an able pen, and connected through-out with the symptoms, every where so prevalent, of a new era of politicalconflict with which Europe appears to be threatened.

" The ' Chronicle' derives its chief merit fiom the judicious abridgement ofits Miscellaneous Notices. The conspiracy of Thistlewood and his adherents,as well as the subsequent trial and execution of these brutal anarchists, alreadyfast becoming a mere historical reminiscence, occupy, of course, a conspicuousplace in it.

" The ' Philosophical and Literary' department, is a great improvement onthe plan of the work in general, and, in the present volume, exhibits a mass ofinformation not any where to be found condensed in the same compass. Everything remarkable brought to light, during the year 1820 ; n the several branchesof Natural History, Chemistry, Antiquities, Statistics, and general learning, ishere accurately described and recorded.

" But we are particularly pleased with the liberal and manly spirit whichpervades the whole work. There is no party bias manifested, no animosityagainst individuals, whatever be their views or opinions; and there is everywhere conspicuous the love of country, founded upon a just perception of ourinvaluable privileges as British subjects, as well as of the manifold hazardsattending precipitate innovation in the principles of government. In short, it isa work to which we cannot too heartily wish success."
