Upwards of five years' have passed since we noticed the

first sp. pearance of the Edinburgh Cabinet Library, and cordially welcomed the first edition of Polar Seas and Regions. The mere fact of having now to chronicle a fourth edition of that work, is pretty sufficient evidence that the recommendation we then gave was not an injudicious one. The only point in the present edition that calls for remark-is, that the new information collected in the recent voyages of Captain Ross is incorporated in the volume.
