The Instructive Picture Book. By Adam White. (Edinburgh, Edmonston and

Douglas.)—This is a seventh edition, but we do not like to dismiss it without a word of commendation. The plates it contains . are exceedingly good, and bring nearly the whole of the animal world before us. Children may revel in its bears, lions, and tigers, and may learn at the same time from the descriptive letter-press something about the ways of their friends in the fields and their foes in the Zoological Gardens.
