We have also received Two Essays, by Edward Whitfield (Whit-
field, Green, and Son), which are good specimens of fine writing ; A Few Words on the Choice of a Microscope, by J. J. Plitmer, Esq., M.A. (Churchill and Sons), which purchasers should consult; a capital Lec- ture on the Civil War in America, by Mr. James Lamont, whom Bateshire rejected for agreeing with Darwin about the origin of species (Eadie, of Glasgow); A Clergyman's Self-Examination concerning the Apostles' Creed (Macmillan and Co.); Hagar and Arabia, a Sermon by the Rev. Dr. Howson (Longman and Co.); The Witness of the Church to the Promise of Christ's Coming, a Consecration Sermon by Mr. Mansel (J. H. and J. Parker); Part VII. of Dr. Latham's Johnson's Dictionary (Longman and Co.); and Part I. of a re-issue of Webster's Dictionary
(Bell and Daldy), by Dr. Goodrich and Dr. Porter, of Yale College, which though less sumptuous than its rival is more copious, quite as good in an etymological point of view, and far cheaper. We cannot say, however, that we like the spelling.
