NEW EpfTtoNs.—Military Architecture. Translated from the French of E. Viollet-le-Dno,
by M. Mawdermott, Esq. Second Edi- tion, with Preface, by John Henry Parker, C.B. (James Parker.)— Mr. Parker says in his preface, "My reason for republishing [this work] at the present time, is because I cannot help seeing how useful it would be for the officers in Zululand add other parts of South Africa, and in the savage parts of India, wherever tho well disci- lined troops of civilised nations come into contact with savages. It 'explains all the modes of attacking and defending a camp or a city which have boon used from the time of the Romans." These explana- tions are supplemented by M. Viollet-le-Duc's drawings, and we may add that the interest and value of the book are not by' any means limited by its professional use. It throws no inconsiderable light on many events in history.—The I3orders of the Tamar and the Tavy, in a Series of Letters to the late Robert Southey, by Mrs. Bray.
