Mr. Bohn some time since became the purchaser of a large number of the copper-plates of Gillray's _Caricatures_. Having had impressions taken, and arranged them in one large volume, he sought the assistance of Mr. Wright, who had just then published his _History of the House of Hanover, illustrated by Caricatures_, and Mr. R. H. Evans, the well-known bibliopole, towards an anecdotical catalogue of the works of this clever satirist: and the result of the labours of these gentlemen has just been published under the title of _Historical and Descriptive Account of the Caricatures of James Gillray, comprising a Political and Humorous History of the latter Part of the Reign of George III._ The volume will be found not only an interesting key to Mr. Bohn's edition of Gillray, and a guide to those who may be making a separate collection of his works, but a pleasant illustration of the wit and satire which lashed the politicians and amused the public "In the old time when George the Third was king." Those who know the value of those historical researches which Sir F. Palgrave has already given to the world, will be glad to hear that the first volume of his _History of Normandy and of England_ will probably be published before the close of the present month. In this first volume, which is described in the advertisement as containing the general relations of Mediaeval Europe, the Carlovingian Empire, and the Danish Expeditions into Gaul, we understand the learned author has treated those expeditions at considerable length, and enters very fully into that of the decline of the Carlovingian Empire,--a portion of the work as important, as it is in a great measure new, to the English reader. Not the least valuable part of the book will be Sir Francis Palgrave's account of the nature and character of the Continental Chronicles, which form the substratum of his work, but which, existing only in the great collections of Duchesne, Bouquet, Pertz, &c., are generally very imperfectly known to English students. Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson will sell, on Monday next, a collection of very rare and interesting Autograph Letters, more particularly illustrative of the period of the Civil Wars. On the same day they will also commence a Four-days' Sale of valuable Books, and Books of Engravings, chiefly from the library of a gentleman deceased, including the original edition of Stuart and Revett's _Athens_, a copy of Merian's _Topographia Germaniae_ containing nearly one thousand engravings, and many other works of high character.
