The new volume of Bohn's _Standard Library_ is the fourth of Mrs. Foster's excellent translations of _Vasari's Lives of the most Eminent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects_. It contains no fewer than nineteen lives, including, among many whose names are less familiar to English amateurs, those of Sebastian del Piombo, and that admirable scholar of Raphael, whom Shakespeare has helped to immortalise by designating him that "rare Italian master Giulio Romano." All lovers of art are under great obligations to the publisher for placing this translation within their reach.--Mr. Cyrus Redding's _History and Description of Modern Wines_ is the new volume of Bohn's _Illustrated Library_; and, as the author describes "the art of taking wine" as "the science of exciting agreeable conversation and eliciting brilliant thoughts," and discourses learnedly upon the subject, his book may well find friends.--_Lucretius on the Nature of Things, literally translated into English Prose_, by the Rev. J. S. Watson, M.A., _to which is added the Poetical Version_, by J. M. Good, is another volume of Bohn's _Classical Library_; and the scholarship of Mr. Watson affords a sufficient justification for his prefatory remark, "that he who wishes to know what is in Lucretius without perusing the original, will learn it from this volume with greater certainty than from any other previously offered to the English reader." Every page bears evidence of the pains and ability displayed by Mr. Watson in his endeavour to clothe Lucretius in an English garb. There is no Query so frequently put and so rarely answered to the satisfaction of the Querist as _What is the fare?_ Walker's _Cab Fare and Guide Map of London_, in which all the leading streets and thoroughfares are marked off in half-miles, being so small that it may be carried in a pocket-book, yet so distinct as to admit of no doubt, will however put an end to the very unpleasant state of uncertainty and dispute in which all who ride in cabs are apt to find themselves involved.
