Germany from the Baltic to the Adriatic; or Prussia, Austria,

and Venetia, with Reference to the Late War. By Captain Spencer. (Routlodge.) We cannot say that Captain Spencer's present book is any improve- ment on the one we had occasion to review last autumn. It is certainly duller. We miss those amusing conversations which the author held with persons likely to be least informed on all subjects, and we are thrown back on his own information. This is sometimes so extremely recondite that we are apt to suspect its accuracy, but the statements are advanced with caution, and with that vagueness which is the better part of caution.
