M'CRIE-The Provincial Letters of Blaise Pascal.

A New Translation, with Historical Introduction and Notes. By Thomas M'Crie, D.D., Edinburgh. Second Edition, foolscap 8vo, cloth, 5s.

"Pascal here appears in a robe of English worthy of himself. The translator has entered thoroughly into the conceptions of his author; and he conveys these with life and simplicity, in a style of artless, yet fascinating eloquence. The style is so transparent, that our interest is never checked by obscurity; and so chaste is it, that it never attracts attention to itself, but is lost and forgotten in the object it reveals. From henceforth, we have no doubt it will, in this country, become the standard translation of Pascal."-Lowe's Edinburgh Magazine.
