EL'Ydaiour. By Christopher Pemberton Hodgson, Author of "Rerni- miseences of Australia,' • &c. phis book contains a narrative of the author's travels from Southampton to Ceylon by way of Egypt. The only part with any pretensions to in- termt, or.smy.novelty of subject, is Mr. Hodgson's wanderings about the Red Sea. • He -sojourned a month at Aden, and made some trips into Arabia : he undertook a voyage to Museolth, an Abyssinian port, intending to have penetrated into the interior, but was disgusted- with the native attempts at extortion,- and thwarted by the jealousy of mote-taking travellers • so he started for Jeddah in Arabia, in a vessel crammed with slaves, and Pilgrims bound:for Mecca. After a tedious passage; which gave him an opportunity oL praktically understanding the navigation of the ancients, he arrived at his destination. From Jeddah he sailed to Kosseir inEgypt, the emporium of the ancient trade to India. Thence he crossed the desert to the Nile, and descended the river to Cairo.

There is not nearly so much made of so singular an expedition as might hope been expected ; owing mainly to Mr. Hodgson himself. lie seems to have had no object in view, no pursuit of any kind ; so that his -attention was not directed to anything in particular, • but merely received impressions as they came. His training does not appear to have fitted-him for observation ; salient • points of a very external kind alone striking him : his digressions too are continual and verbose. Some adventures, some aketches, and a few "good stories" will be found in the- volume ; but on the whole it is -inferior to the writer's-opportunities.] The Book of the Salmon; it two Parts. Usefully Illustrated with nu- merous coloured Engravings of Salmon-flies and - Sahnon-fry. By

, Ephemera, Author of A Handbook of Angling" ; assisted by An- drew Young, of Invershin, Manager of the Duke ofEutherland'a Sal- mon-fisheries.

[Having treated successfully of the lower branches of angling, "Ephemera" has now taken in hand the noble and exciting pastime of salmon-fishing. Assuming the reader to have read and -profited by his former book, the ,author gives little elementary instruction ; confining his directions to the peculiar differences in throwing the fly and handling the rod for salmon, compared with.trout, &c. He then furnishes practical advice as to the rod and line itself, the best modes of fishing a river, the way to manage and land the king of fishes when you have hooked him, together with an elaborate account of various flies, illustrated by coloured plates. The directions are somewhat minute, 'which the author intended ; but they are clear, colloquial, and keep tip the attention of the reader. The-history of the salmon forms a second part, the substance of which is liy-Mr. Young, though the writing is by " Ephemera." It contains -Mr. Youngs views on the natural history of the fislyespecially itshreeding„and growth during early life]

Poems, Original and Translated ; including the First Iliad of Homer. By W. G. T. Barter, Faq.

most important pieces in this volume-are a translation of the .first book of the Iliad, and versions of several of the Odes and Satires of -Horace ; for the original pieces are "occasional," with rather trite subjects, and the other translations are merely miscellaneous. Mr. Barter exhibits some mental , -power and independence • but whether he is likely to succeed as a poet, we .As.-cannot tell. yet he fulfils neither of the requisites. There is nothing of the utile in the volume,- and -at the dulce he does not aim. From a mis- taken imitation of Tennyson, or from some erroneous theory of art, he seems to delight.in making his lines crabbed and prosaic ; and in his original pieces to select trivial ideas and images, apparently on the notion of their being natural.]

Whose Poems?

[An affected title not raising any curiosity to answer its question. The writer has the gift or knack of fluent-and smooth versification • but his sub- jects are either common or singular, and his treatment is discursive and verbose.] The Emperor .1.ttlian..atid his. Generation; Historic Picture. By Augustus Meander Professor ef Divinity in the University of

Berlin. Translatedhy.G. Cox, M.A., Esquire Bedell in the Uni- versity of Oxford.

INeander's Julian and his Generation was-originally publishedin-1812, and -received the praise of Niebuhr. It contains a good summary of- the facts of Julian's life as a.studemt and philosopher, as well as of his opinions • but the Emperor is lost except sight of, expt as regards his conduct towards the duistians. The historic picture " is very fair and impartial ; but the real character of that remarkable ruler requires-a .mure -penetrating mind to exhibit it -than Dr. Meander's.]
