BOOKS RECEIVED.--_Tangible Typography, or How the Blind Read_, by E. C.
Johnson, is a little volume detailing various modes of printing books for
the blind, and well calculated to awaken an interest in the benevolent
objects of The Society for Printing and Distributing Books for the Use of
the Blind.--_The Ghost of Junius, &c._, by Francis Ayerst. This endeavour
to identity Junius with Lieut.-General Sir Robert Rich, on the strength of
a letter written by that officer to Viscount Barrington, years after the
celebrated _Letters of Junius_ had appeared, is the largest theory based on
the smallest fact with which we are acquainted.--Mr. Bohn has just issued
in his _Standard Library_ the fourth volume of his edition of _The Prose
Works of John Milton; containing the First Book of A Treatise on Christian
Doctrine, compiled from the Holy Scripture alone, translated from the
Original_ by the Lord Bishop of Winchester. The present edition has had the
advantage of a thorough revision.--Mr. Bohn has also enriched his
_Scientific Library_ by the publication of _The Physical and Metaphysical
Works of Lord Bacon, including his Dignity and Advancement of Learning, and
his Novum Organon, or Precepts for the Interpretation of Nature_, edited by
Joseph Devey, who has availed himself of the best translations, and
enriched the _Novum Organon_ with the remarks of the two Playfairs, Sir
John Herschel, and the German and French editors.--_Matthew Paris' English
History, from the Year 1235 to 1273; translated from the Latin_ by Dr.
Giles, _Volume the Second_, is the new issue of Bohn's _Antiquarian
Library_; while, in his _Classical Library_, he has published a volume
which will be, we doubt not, welcome to many: _The Idylls of Theocritus,
Bion, and Moschus, and the War Songs of Tyrtæus, literally translated into
English Prose_, by Rev. J. Banks; _with Metrical Versions_, by J. M.
Chapman.--_The Churchman's Magazine, a Monthly Review of Church Progress
and General Literature._ Judging from the January and February Numbers
which are now before us, we can have no doubt that this Magazine for
Churchmen will please those to whom it is addressed.
