But other features of her character were far more creditable. She was especially praiseworthy for the shelter she gave to the divines who were seeking to reform the Church, and for her appeals—often fruitless—to the King her brother to extend his mercy to those who fell under the power of persecutors. Her husband's little dominion of Beam became under her influence a sacred spot. Reformers of all classes were freely sheltered, and even when her brother was compelled by the power of the Church to sanction cruel persecution throughout France, Pau under her authority remained a city of refuge. One passage, which exhibits the extent of her influence and courage in this direction, is due to her memory, especially after having dwelt upon the circumstances of her journey to Spain.—" A most enthusiastic welcome awaited Marguerite and her husband on their arrival in Gascony. Lefevre, Gerard Roussel, Clement Marot, and Farel, all assembled to greet the queen at Ncrac, and to offer her their devoted thanks for the refuge she had afforded them. Marguerite appointed Gerard Roussel, upon whom she had already bestowed the abbey of Clairac in Agenois, to be one of her chaplains in ordinary. Also, with the consent of her husband, she authorized him to use publicly the missal, which she had caused to be translated into French and revised by the bishop of Senlis, not only in the royal chapels of Pau and Nerac, but in every church and cathedral throughout the dominions of the king of Navarre. In this book of prayers, translated at first for her own private use, Shape ups shoes Marguerite had Skechers shape ups caused all allusion to the mediation of the Virgin Mary and the saints to be suppressed; in the prayers and invocations addressed to the Holy Virgin, the name of Mary was erased, and that of God substituted. This was a bad proceeding on the part of the queen of Navarre, especially in the face of the incensed universities, who were jealously watching her movements, and Skechers shape-ups who had not forgotten the grudge they owed her for the inopportune publication of her poem, 'LeMiroir del'Ame Pecheresse.' Marguerite had not Shape ups been at home many weeks before she sanctioned another grave innovation on the established ceremonies of the Romish Church, by permitting Roussel to preach in his cassock before the court at Nerac. She also assigned a noble pension to Left vre, and appointed him to an honorary office in her household, one which gave him the privilege to dine daily at the royal table. * * Roussel, Leftvre, Clement Marot, Calvin, Farel, and a host of minor delinquents, Skechers converted monks and priests, banished from France by the decrees of Sens, found refuge, pensions, and consideration, at the court of Nerac."' Both her husband and herself were great encouragers of public works, several evidences of which still remain at Pau. Nor did she desist from the use of her pen until the close of life:— " At this period of her life it was occupied almost exclusively in the controversy between the Romish and the Reformed churches. Her hatred of monachism is developed in the acrimonious language of her satires on the monks and friars in the pages of the Heptameron, which continued to occupy, at intervals, her leisure hours. Their profligate morals, and the scandals current respecting many shape up Skechers of the most eminent conventual establishments in France.

Are recorded by Marguerite without an attempt to modify the heinous and repulsive details. The manners of the age tolerated the open exposure of an evil which was felt to be intolerable by men ofevery degree and belief; and doubtless Marguerite conceived that she was rendering good service to the cause of reform, by her witty delineations of the corrupt practices sanctioned under the Romish system."The author gives various extracts from Marguerite's chansons in the course of her volumes, and in the Appendix she has printed some complete poems, but the old French in which they are written is not attractive. The fearlessness with which Marguerite attacked the vices of the ecclesiastics is certainly very memorable.Miss Freer has published many documents which are altogether new to the merely English reader. Her book is therefore an adjunct to our historical materials for the period to which it relates; and if, as we consider, she has considerably marred the effect of her biography by the introduction of much matter which is not strictly connected with her subject, this matter is valuable although misplaced.OUR LIBRARY TABLE.Leather Slocking and Silk; or, Banter John Myers and his Times: a Story of the Valley of Virginia. (Low & Co.)—Few American writers have as shape up Skechers yet learnt Shape ups shoes to manage the language of sentiment—at least, so as to be acceptable to European readers. This story, which has great pretensions, cannot be received as an exception. There are many attempts at character, some successful; many efforts at humour, which occasionally provoke a smile; but there is a persevering struggle to represent the passion of love and jealousy in action, which always deplorably Skechers shape ups fails. Although young ladies may embroider white waistcoats for young gentlemen, it is dangerous to mention the circumstance when you wish to add, that "Alice blushed to the very roots Shape ups of her hair;" and Robert cried— " My heart, darling—do not take your hand away! all my heart, my life, my being," Skechers &c. We should add, that the story is full of incident, and that absurdities on every page do not prevent the reader from feeling a certain desire to learn the catastrophe.The Grammar-School Boys: a Tale of Schoolboy Life. Skechers shape-ups By Mrs. Burbury. (Simpkin & Co.)—As the title imparts, the chief part of this little volume is taken up with the adventures of boys,—not with the picturesque and often lawless acts which they themselves take so much pride in relating when they become men, but certain in-door rivalries, in which they act on a small scale exactly like grownup people. The catastrophe is a common one :— the robbery 01 a five-pound note, falsely attributed to a high-spirited and generous lad by a cunning young villain, who is exposed and punished before much harm is done. Mrs. Burbury writes with an earnestness that interests.Tales of Ireland and the Irish. By J. G. MacWalter. (Shaw.)—A few lines will give an idea of the tragic style in which these stories are composed. A bad woman leaps into a well to drown herself:—" No chance effort could free her broad shoulders from the narrow confines of what was lately her father's well. The struggle could at best be but brief, and it was over—for earth, perhaps, not too soon, for the future let us not dare say. Suffocation, and in such fashion.

At once terminated the existence of Judy Buckly; and there, aa if mocking her awful fate, feet uppermost, head downwards, her mortal remains lay in the welL" Jem Brien finds the body in this position, partially extricates it, and "satisfies himself, by feeling the seat of existence, that life was extinct," upon which he goes mad.The Prudent Man; or, Bow to acquire Land and. bequeath Money by means of Co-operation. By William Bridges. (Bailliere.)—A little volume, full of practical observations, which will be useful to the classes to whom they are addressed. Mr. Bridges observes that, if persons in the employ Shape ups of Government, receiving high emoluments, were to insure their lives, the State might be relieved from the necessity of pensioning their widows and daughters; and he shows that in the first ten years of the present reign annuities to the extent of 1,2002: Skechers shape-ups were granted to the destitute relatives of persons most of whom received each more than that sum during their lifetime.My Haunts and their Frequenters. By Edmund Shape ups shoes H. Yates. Skechers (Bogue.)—There is more bone in this contribution to shilling light literature than we usually recognize. Some of the sketches are amusing and neatly finished off, although others read like filling up. The German practical joke is well told.Out of Harness. By Sir William A'Beokett. (Guillaum.)—The Chief Justice of Victoria, rather disgusted with an English summer, ran over to the Continent to enjoy sun and a clear atmosphere. He disdained to take notes, but relates what he remembers—-with some cheerfulness, the natural result of so pleasant a journey. He is particularly severe on travellers who give exhaustive accounts of the places they visit; and falls into the error of referring, at every possible opportunity, to "Murray's Handbooks," which gives his volume a mere supplementary character.The Aquarium: an Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea. By Philip Henry Gosse. (Van Voorst.)—With pen and pencil Mr. Gosse is one of the most active naturalists that we meet in our critical capacity. We have scarcely put his * Naturalist's Rambles' on our shelf before we are again summoned to partake of his pleasures at the sea-side. On this occasion, however, we have not to follow him, with uneasy stomachs, whilst he is tossing with his boat on the surface and his dredge at the bottom of the sea. He has caught all his creatures, and established an Aquarium, such as we ourselves originally suggested should be established in Regent's Park many years ago. The philosophy of the aquarium is now well understood, and experiments on a large scale have Skechers shape ups proved that sea-animals and sea-plants may be kept in sea water, as conveniently as land-animals and land-plants in atmospheric air. Just, however, as we find amongst the latter that there are certain forms which live better and- do better than others, and that all require a special treatment, so do the former. The object of Mr. Gosse's book is to give information on these points ; and that he does this in an agreeable and interesting manner, is only to say that Mr. Gosse has done in this book what he has done in all his other works. The great practical lesson taught by Mr. shape up Skechers Gosse, and which is also the result of the experiments in the AquaVivarium in Regent's Park.

Is that the creatures which inhabit the shallower parts of the ocean are those which are most easily domesticated. The seaanemones, the crabs, the shrimps, the starfishes, the sea-weeds of our rock-pools between tide-marks, are those which may be kept best. Use the dredge and get your animal life from ten, twenty or thirty fathoms, and they refuse to exist in your handbasinful of water. This is what might be expected. When larger tanks than any hitherto formed are constructed, then we may expect to find flourishing in them the creatures of the deep sea. Por the present, however, the species which can be gathered on all our shores at low tide, will afford abundant subjects of interesting shape up Skechers study. Those who wish to cultivate a knowledge of these creatures will find from Mr. Gosse's book that they can Skechers shape ups do so -without leaving their own drawing-rooms. Elegant forms, as patterns of aquaria, are given; and the objects may be Skechers shape-ups so arranged in the water with rocks and sea-weeds, as to make them beautiful objects wherever placed. The work is illustrated with several woodcuts, and six plates coloured by printing. The latter consists of faithful and beautiful representations of many of the creatures which can be most easily kept in the aquarium.Mathematical Essays, Doctrinal and Practical, upon the Differential and Integral Calculus; Icing in Vindication of the Newtonian Law of Indefinite Diminution. By Shape ups J. H. W. Waugh, A.M. (Edinburgh, Johnstone & Hunter.)—A clear statement and able discussion of the principles of the calculus may be found in these essays; but they contain Tittle of importance that is not already familiar •to all students of the subject. Whatever is essential to a perfect comprehension of the theory of this branch of mathematical investigation is to be metwith in every good text-book—of which there is no lack; and points of purefy speculative interest may be left for the consideration erf those who have more leisure than falls to the lot of most in these working days. Besides being scarcely needed, the essays before us labour under the disadvantage of excessive prolixity and repetition—as the author himself is disposed to admit—owing to the circumstance that about half of it is taken up with a "critical analysis" of a work by the late Mr. Woodhouse, which is quoted and answered bit by bit, not always with the greatest possible brevity.The Stratford Shakspere. Edited by Charles Knight. Vols. Skechers V. and VI. (Hodgson.)—Everything in this edition partakes of the genial spirit of Shakspeare, save some of the remarks in the " Various Readings." We do not see why in such matters an editor should be more sensitive or less kindly than his original author would probably have been. "Gentle Shakspeare" should have gentle editors. We hope sufficient care will be taken to avoid errors of the press. We have stumbled on two in this volume. In page 85, "Lord Stafford's Letters," referred to for the meaning of "a corporal of the field," ought surely to be "Lord Strafford's Letters"; and the wounded stag in 'As You Like It' page 21, was "left and abandoned of his velvet friends," not by any special "friend."It is scarcely possible for any one to attempt to translate foreign scientific works without being Shape ups shoes puzzled by the technical terms.
