BOOKS RECEIVED.--_Boswell's Life of Johnson, Illustrated_, vol. i. This is the first volume of the _National Illustrated Library_, which the projectors describe "as an endeavour to bestow upon half-crown volumes for the _many_ the same typographical accuracy, and the same artistic ability, hitherto almost exclusively devoted to high-priced books for the _few_." In choosing _Boswell's Johnson_ for their first work, the projectors have shown excellent judgment; and we are bound to add that the book is not only well selected, but neatly printed, and illustrated with a number of excellent woodcuts.--_Illustrations of Medieval Costume in England, &c._, Part II. This second part deserves the same praise for cheapness as its predecessor.--_The Cape and the Kafirs_, the new volume of Bohn's cheap series, is a well-timed reprint of Mrs. Ward's _Five Years in Kafirland_, with some little alteration and abridgment, and the addition of some information for intending emigrants, from information supplied by published official reports.
