London Exhibited in 1851: elucidating its Natural and Physical Cha- racteristics; its Antiquity and Architecture ; its Arts, Manufactures, Trade, and Organizations • its Social, Literary, and Scientific Institu- tions; and its numerous Organizations; of Fine Art. With 205 Illustra- tions; including a newly-constructed Map, engraved by Mr. Wilson Lowry. [Mr. Weale, the well-known architectural and engineering publisher, has put forth a new picture of London, which is the best and most complete that has yet appeared. It is not like the generality of books on the subject, a mere repetition of former publications with additions adapted to the time, but original both in its conception and execution. The buildings of London, as might be supposed, receive great attention, and are treated of in a full, succinct, and critical manner ; the cuts introduced illustrating the text, as well as exhibiting the most remarkable structures. The same unity and comprehension of purpose combined with sufficient attention to details, prevails throughout. 'The gardens, the parks, the private re- sidences' the institutions, and those objects which fall under the head of sights, as well as the leading excursions that may be made from London, are treated specifically. There is also an able summary of the natural features and business characteristics of London, in remarks on its geology, climate, statistics, commerce, and a scientific and historical survey of the Thames. The shortcoming of the book is in what may be called traveller's directions touching inns, lodgings, conveyances, and the like. Mr. Weale indeed may say, that to give particular information on

such points formed no part of his design ; but we think a chapter on strangers' comforts would have added to the utility and value of the book. The cuts are numerous, and very good ; there is also a capital map.] Adams's Pocket London Guide-book. By B. L. Blanchard, Author of Adams's Descriptive Guide to the "Environs of London," &e. [This publication is on a much smaller scale than Mr. Weale's great work, and more resembles the common guide-book. After a general introduction on the past and present state of London, the Metropolis is mapped out into districts, the reader is carried successively through each, and the most re- markable places are pointed out to him. Its handy size and succinct informa- tion will make it a useful companion.] The English Bee-keeper; or Suggestions for the practical Management of Amateur and Cottage Apiaries on scientific principles. "With an Appendix of Notes chiefly illustrative. By a Country Curate.

[The reverend author of 'this book not only had a liking for keeping bees, but wished to spread the fancy among his parishioners, as well for moral as economical reasons. With this object, he applied himself to various authors, to extract from them a popular tract; but found nothing that exactly answered his purpose or squared with his experience' so he sat down to write one himself. This did not altogether answer his expectations either, but it formed the nucleus of the present book.

The _English Bee-keeper is of a practical kind, even when topics connected with natural history are started. If not original in much of its matter, (and what practical work can be ?) a good deal is novel, and everything has been tested by experience. It is written in a clear style, with a pleasant half-jocular vein ; and its instructions appear likely to be attended with success, "weather permitting."] _Emilie the Peacemaker. By Mrs. Thomas Geldart, Author of "Truth is Everything." [Emilie is a German governess, who by kindness and self-control subdues the hasty and provoking temper of her pupil Edith Parker, and directly or indirectly improves a number of other persons. The story belongs to the class of juvenile tales, and it may rank among the best of them. The inci- dents are appropriate to the theme, and the narratives well written.]

A Child's First Hour. With Suggestions for some Alteration in the Management of Newly-born Infants. Addressed to Young Mothers. By a Physician. [An essay thrown into somewhat of a dramatic form, on the four evil prac- tices to which a child is generally subjected in the first hour of its birth,- 1. rubbing its head with spirits to "prevent its taking cold"; 2. dressing it with pins ; 3. giving it physic to open the bowels ; 4. feeding it. The style is lively, though rather forced; but all that the " physician " has got to say might have been said in less compass.] Selections from -Esop, Xenophon, and Anacreon, for the use of Ju- nior Forms in Schools. By the Reverend Lewis Page Mercier, formerly Scholar of University College Oxford, Head Master of the Birmingham and Edgbaston Proprietary School. .

[A well-chosen selection, designed to succeed the delectus. The lessons are accompanied by explanatory foot-notes, and followed by exercises.] Harrington's Desideratum for the Age; a Masonic work, wherein the

First Principles which constitute Nature are explained, &c.[The great "desideratum for the age" is to do as you would be done by. A

variety of theories are broached by Mr. Harrington, but they are not worth pursuing.]

A Practical Treatise on the Law, Privileges, Proceedings and Usage of Parliament. By Thomas Erskme May:, Esq., of the !diddle Temple, Barrister-at-law. Second edition, revised and enlarged.

[This edition has been thoroughly revised from notes made by the author of all changes of practice and new precedents as they occurred from day to day. The "alterations in the mode of conducting private business have been so great during the last few years, that the third book may be regarded as a new treatise upon that department of Parliamentary procedure, descriptive of the present practice' and embracing the most recent precedents."]
