March _Edition of Watkins's Commercial and General London Directory and Court Guide, for I854. Extending on the North to Camden Town, South to Camberwell, East to the East India Docks, and West to Bayswater ; with Environs. Containing upwards of 142,000 Names and Addresses.

[This gigantic rival to the Post-office Directory seems to have reached its third annual publication, though this is the first time we have

seen it. The most attractive feature of the volume is its cheapness—about

half the price of its competitor. Another good feature, at an. additional charge, is the directory for the environs ; embracing the circle of Hammer-

smith, Hampstead and Highgate, West Ham, New Cross, Brixton, and round to the Thames again at Battersea. The general plan is similar to that of the original Post-offlee,—alphabetical list of names, classifications by streets and callings, with numerous minor divisions. The mode of reference by an outside index on the front of the volume is handy and patented. -Some controversy is going on between the rivals as to their respective accuracy.] Thucydides. Book VI., from the Text of Bekker, with Notes, chiefly Grammatical and Explanatory, by the Reverend Percival Frost jun., M.A., late Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, and Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

[Mr. Frost truly observes that translators of the classics are generally very inaccurate in their translations, and, he might have added, clumsy. 10 fur- nish students with a help to acquire accuracy and neatness,—whith, be it observed, can only follow from a thorough knowledge of the niceties of the origival,—is the object and the distinguishing feature of this edition of the

sixth book of Thueydides. Mr. Frost has to "the best of his power carefully

explained the usual particles, defined constructions, accounted for compounded verbs," &e. The edition is a very good one in other respects : the type is bold and clear ; the divisions or chapters are not only adapted for separate lessons, but the terse arguments in English furnish the pupil with a key to the subject of his theme.]

.Drawing for Schools : containing Expositions of the Method of Teaching Drawing in Schools; a full Explanation of the Practice of Model

Drawing after the Dupuis, as first practised at the Battersea Training College ; the Principles and Practice of Outline and Perspective Drawing ; together with numerous Illustrations and Drawing Exer- cises. By Thomas Tate, F.R.A.S., of limner Training College, Twickenham, &c. ; Author of "The Principles of the Differential and Integral Calculus."

Drawing-book for _Little Boys and Girls : containing upwards of one hundred and thirty Drawing Exercises of geometrical and fomiliar objects, with Illustrations. By Thomas Tate, F.B..A.S., &c. [The first of the above two is a neat volume of some fifty page,; the matter systematically arranged, with perhaps more attention to the principles of

perspective than in most books of a like elementary character. The second is a series of drawing copies, which are also added, on less strong paper, as an appendix to the first. An advertisement notifies that five shillings would suffice for the drawing-models adopted in the treatise, and that two copies of the drawing-book "-would supply at least thirty large drawing-sheets suit- able for home instruction."]

A Second Series of Deeds of NavalDaring ; or Anecdotes of the British Navy. By Edward Gifford, Esq., Author of "Short Visit to the Ionian Islands, Athens, and the -Mores." (Murray's Railway Read- ing.)

[Actual war has stimulated Mr. Giffard to-a new selection of naval deeds of daring, included in "Murray's Railway Reading," at a lower price than its predecessor. Anecdote is the essential character of the compilation ; which, coupled with the interest inseparably attached to heroic actions and the Navy, renders the book attractive reading. The compilation how- ever, has more of a commonplace or newspaper character than the first series. It is a second brewing.]

Sacred History; with a Compendium of Ecclesiastical History from the Death of Christ to the Accession of Constantine. Edited by the Re- verend I. P. Chambers, Rector of Iledenham, Norfolk. [A painstaking and clear compendium of Scripture history from the crea- tion to the death of Christ, followed by a similar exhibition of the history of Christianity to Constantine. The facts of Scripture are accompanied by brief accounts of the customs and manners of the period. The latter part adopts the extreme, view of the extent and severity of the Roman per- secutions.] Selections from the Psalms, in a New Version of all the entire Psalms, or Parts of others suitable for singing. Fitted to the Tunes used in Churches. By M. Montagu.

[A few years since, a version of the Psalms was published by Mr. IfontO, with the ambitious object of .superseding the authorized versions. As this

was not attained, the author has published a selection of such psalms as are more immediately adapted for -singing. More prosaic than Sternhold and Hopkins, or than Tate and Brady, this version probably is not. It is cer- tainly as lame, especially, if we consider the advancement in mechanical versifying since their days.] The First False Step ; a Poem. By JamesSargill Guthrie, Author of

"Village Scenes." -

[A didactic poem on the sin a intoxication. The first false step is a young physician's-getting a drop too much at a dinner-party, which excess is the means of his ruin. Thescheme of the poem is exaggerated to the,

the execution diffuse and feeble.]

The History of England in _Rhyme, from the Conquest to the. Restora- tion.

[The rhyme and rattle of this metrical affair may assist the memory of chil- dren in impressing facts upon the mind, though these facts.are spread over a greater space than need be. The verse is the merest doggrel.] Progressive Exercises on the Accidence of the _Latin Gratnmar ; to which are added, Exercises on some of the leading rules of Syntax. By Richard Hiley, Principal of the Leeds Collegiate and Commercial School ; and Author of an "English Grammar,' &c.

[A series of questions on the Latin accidence, accompanied by exercises to be translated from Latin into English, or the reverse. They are primarily intended for the author's Grammar, but by slight omissions are applicable to several other grammars,]

Forms of 'a Set toBooks, by Single and Double Entry, adapted. to • the

"Elements of kkeeping." By A. 11..Isbister, hi.R.C.P. (434eIg's School Series.)

[Ruled copy-books, to be filled up from the commercial forms in the'"Ifle-

menta of Bookkeeping." Not a bad plan of impressing the system on the mind, so far as it can be done without actual practice.]

Early Education : being the Substance of four Lectures delivered in the Public Hall of the Collegiate Institution, Liverpool. By W. H. Barn- bridge, F.R.C.S.

[Thoughtful and judicious observations, chiefly on the domestic training of children from early infancy. A peculiar feature of the book is the combi- nation of physical with moral and intellectual means, not so much as regards the health as the action and reaction of mind and body.)

Chapters for School Reading and Home Thought ; a sequel to "The Villege School Reading-Book." By the Author of "The Village Schoolmistress's Assistant," &c.

[A series of papers on practical moral topics, addressed to the humbler dames. The aim is to inculcate good habits and the social virtues, especially prudence and economy.]

The most remarkable reprints are-a new edition of "Benjamin Dis- raeli a Biography" with a new preface ; which, however, contains nothing but thanks for reception and an exposition of the writer's moral object in compiling the work ; a fourth edition of "Companions of my Solitude," published by Messrs. Parker and Son in a very neat form for three shillings and sixpence-about half the price of the previous editions ; a selection from the literary papers of the Times, in Murray's "Railway Reading " ; and "The Last Days of Pompeii," for eighteenpene,e, in Routkdge's "Railway Library."

The Right Honourable Benjamin Disraeli, 111.P. ; a Literary and Po- litical Biography, addressed to the New Generation. Second edition, Companions of My Solitude. Fourth edition.

Orr and Co. of one of Mr. Charles Knight's publica- tions: a class of which it seems to be a peculiarity to reappear constantly with important, slight, or no modification.] AT MA HACK.

The Register Insurance Directory and Almanaek, 1854.

[The first part of this volume contains a good calendar, with the usual variety of business information well arranged. The second and most dis- tinctive part forms the Insurance Directory ; consisting of lists of the various insurance-companies and their officers, the partly or completely registered companies, tables of directors and officers in alphabetical order, and various statistical information bearing on insurance. There is also a popular essay on life insurance, and a paper on the decimal coinage.] PAMPHLETS.
