Our correspondent, Dr. Henry, has published a miscellaneous volume under the title of _Unripe Windfalls_, which consists of some amusing _vers de société_--a Letter addressed to ourselves, containing some very trenchant criticism on the obscurities of Lord Byron; and, lastly, some specimens of Dr. Henry's _Virgilian Commentaries_, some few of which have appeared in our columns. This fact, coupled with the letter addressed to ourselves, must preclude us from speaking of the volume in those terms of commendation which we should otherwise have felt it right to employ. _Outlines of Comparative Physiology touching the Structure and Development of the Races of Animals Living and Extinct_, by L. Agassiz and A. A. Gould, _edited from the Revised Edition and greatly enlarged_ by T. Wright, M.D., is the new issue of Bohn's _Scientific Library_. The present volume forms the first part of the _Principles of Zoology_, which was designed by Professor Agassiz, in conjunction with Mr. Gould, as a text book for the use of the higher schools and colleges, for which, as the editor remarks, it is well adapted from its simplicity of style, clearness of arrangement, and its important and comprehensive range of subjects. In the present edition the woodcut illustrations have been increased from 170 to 390, thereby adding greatly to the value of a work which is well calculated to furnish the general reader with trustworthy information upon the matter to which it relates. BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Literary and Scientific Register and Almanac for 1852_, edited by J. W. G. Gutch, puts forth this--its eleventh appearance--with increased claims to public favour in the shape of many important additions and improvements, in the great mass of condensed information which it contains. _The Orations of M. T. Cicero literally translated by_ C. D. Yonge, B.A. _Vol. I. containing the Orations for Quintius, Sextus Roscius, Quintus Roscius, against Quintius Cæcilius and against Verres_, is the new volume of Bohn's _Classical Library_. The fifth volume of _Neander's General History of the Christian Religion and Church_ (of the value of which we have already spoken) forms the new issue of the same enterprising publisher's _Standard Library_.
