The new editions, and reprints wholly or in part, are numerous,' and they embrace several books of mark. Foremost among these stands a handsome volume from Messrs. Black of Edinburgh : the "Author's Edition ". of Scott's Poetical Works, with illustrative prose, half-a-dozen engravings, besides in- terspersed wood-cuts, and a handsome binding. It has been published, we opine, to compete with various cheap editions-that are imperfect, and must continue so, from the copyright of various matter in this edition remaining unexpired. And well the book will fulfil its purpose. Time was, and within the memory of most of us,. when the plates would have been worth the price of the whole book ; and even now it may rank as cheapest among the cheap. "The Book of Ballads, by Bon Gaultier "—a new edition, with new verses—is not a bad pendent to Scott's Poems, if the reader wishes to'see how a spirited and.animated but superfioial fluency looks when brought to "the test of truth," as ridicule has been termed. Something more than felicitous parody of manner will be found in this amusing volume. There is satire in the subjects and matter, as well as goodnatured ridicule of an easy style worn into more than triteness. Authors "there are who wish you'd jest no more" : American manners and repudiation, with cant and 'pretence at home, form topics for Bon Gaultier ; presenting two objects to the mind—satire in matter and parody in manner. The volume is "got up" handsomely enough for a table ; and that too may be a hit at the fashionable substitution of me- chanical for literary effect in books.

Mr. Maclag,an's "Sketches from Nature " :consist of fugitive pieces, new poems, and the reprint of a former publication. They are the production of a man whose days have been passed in a struggle for subsistence, the time stolen from sleep or recreation being alone available for literature. The writer's poetry has, among other critics, received the praise of the late Lord Jeffrey, and upon more than one occasion, the last shortly before his death. A portion of "Beranger " was published in London some few years since : the present volume is an American edition. Dr. Kitto's "Palestine" is intended as a popular Bible companion ; com- bining in itself the history and geography of the country, with the manners and customs of the people. The information, derived from various writers, is tested and animated by the author's practical knowledge of the region: the plates are not mere graphic pictures, but real illustrations. "The pre- sent edition has been carefully revised throughout, and considerable im- provements have been made."

The second edition of Mr. Brown's "Views of Canada and the Colonists" has been enlarged, and almost rewritten; receiving the results of the writer's more extended experience, and containing information of the changes which time has made. The eighth edition of the "Sophisms of Free Trade" is a miracle, in the sense of not being explainable. Have the Protectionists taken to study political economy on their own side, or is it the purchase- power of adversaries wishing to see what can be said on both sides of a question, that has carried a treatise on a dry subject to eight editions in two veers? In his preface, Mr. Sergeant Byles warns the world, that it must be up and doing if it wishes protection restored; the Protectionist leaders can do nothing alone. The remarkable point of " EOthen" is its cheapness :'two shillings for the complete work in Messrs. Longman's " Traveller s Library." " julamerk is the reprint in a single volume of a novel published some time ago ;* though there is no indication to that effect on the titlepage or in the preface.
