This is a thick volume of three hundred pages, giving an animated account of a flying visit to England and the Continent of Europe. The author is a thoughtful and intelligent tourist, who understood beforehand what he wanted to see, and knew where he could find it. His volume is accordingly crammed with interesting matter relating to famous cities, public buildings, and works of art, and conveys fresh and original impressions of them all. * * * * * The Harpers have published the second volume of their edition of _Burns_, edited with great care by Robert Chambers, and containing his letters and poems in the order in which they are written. It is, in fact, a biography of Burns, illustrated by his works, and will probably be the most popular edition in the market, as it undoubtedly is the cheapest and the most perfect. The same publishers have issued Part 19 of Mayhew’s _London Labor and London Poor_, a work which is full of important information gleaned at first hand. It promises to be the most complete book of the kind ever printed. Its revelations of poverty, disease, and vice, sound “bad as truth.” _Lossing’s “Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution,”_ has also reached its 22d number, and will be completed in two or three more. If we consider the beauty of its typography and illustrations, this work must be admitted to be one of the cheapest ever issued. Its matter is intensely interesting to all who are interested in the history of the country. * * * * * The Harpers of New York have published, in addition to the works we have noticed— “_The Two Families_,” a novel by the author of Rose Douglass. In one volume. “_Courtesy, Manners and Habits. By George Winfred Hervey_.” A volume in which the principles of Christian politeness are enforced with much good sense and considerable force and brilliancy. “_Ivar; or, The Skjuts-Boy; a Romance_,” translated from the Swedish by Professor A. L. Krause. An interesting and attractive number of the Library of Select Novels. * * * * * _The Cavaliers of England, or The Times of the Revolutions of 1642 and 1688. By Henry William Herbert. New York: Redfield. 1 vol. 12mo._ This volume is composed of four exciting tales illustrative of English history, and are in every way worthy of Mr. Herbert’s powerful and vivid genius. In pictorial faculty, in the disposition and creation of incidents, in the delineation of the passions, and, especially, in the unwearied fire and movement of the style, these stimulating stories are among the best which the press has given forth for a long period. * * * * * _An Exposition of Some of the Laws of the Latin Grammar. By Gessner Harrison, M. D. New York: Harper & Brothers. 1 vol. 12mo._
