The reader will find some entertainment, commended at least by

a certain novelty of form and matter, in four volumes which bear the common title of Japan in Days of Yore, and are introduced to the English public by Mr. Walter Denning, the publishers being Messrs. Griffith, Ferran, and Co., who seem to have a specialty for Japanese books. (These volumes are somewhat more Euro- peanised in aspect than the last that we noticed from the same source.) The four are "The Life of Miyamoto Mnsaslir " (in two parts), "Human Nature in a Variety of Aspects," and "Wounded Pride and How it was Healed."
