4 The Parish Guide / edited by the Rev * Theodore Johnson , is a handbook for the benefit of the
clergy and their lay-helpers . Mr . Johnson seems , from the title page , to be an experienced editor , but the present work is somewjhat unequal , and there are faults of mechanism in the
production of the book which might have been avoided . The plan of the Guide , however , is " " marvellously useful ; hardly anything that a Church worker ought to know , so fax as

Tvork closes at the accession of Gregory VII . The translation was written by Sir Paul Rycaut , and published first in 1685 . The editors have
acted discreetly in adding the book to this popular collection , the best of its kind in existence at a reasonable price .
From Messrs . Lecene & Oudin , Paris . —* Jules Lemattre : Impressions de theatre ; ' premiere serie , is a collection of dramatic criticisms
which originally appeared in the Journal des Debats . In the course of them , the productions of CorneilleMoli ^ reRacineShakspeare
Murger , Georee , 8 and , , Dumas fils , , Alfred de , Musset , Renan , Tolstoi , Gyp , ' & c , pass under
review . These Impression * form the new volume of Messrs . Lecene & Oudin ' s JBibliotkeque TAttcrairewhich has alreadgiven us
charming , studies of authors and y dramatists many . From Mr . Calmann li ^ vy , Paris . —* La Csardas
is the rather fanciful title of the impressions of a French gentleman during his visits to HungaryRoumaniaAustriaEnglandItaly
Mr Switzerland . Ulbach , , , visited Belgium these , , and Holland countries , . The in order author , to , ,
give an account in letters to a Parisian journal of various international meetings . Thus he had the erood fortune to see each nation in succession
en fete . The name of the book is accounted for in this way . * La Csardas ' is the Hungarian dance par excellence . It so fascinated the
author , that it is inextricably associated with the memories of the pleasant meetings here recordedand thus deserves its lace in the
title . , p From Messrs . Crosby- Look wood & Co . —A
new edition in one volume of tlie translation of De Bourrienne ' s remarkable Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte' is peculiarly welcome . The volume is light and compact it is printed
with exquisite clearness . De Bourrienne ; T s work , as a biography , ranks close to Boswell ' s , the
story being told with so much spirit that the man is actually before the reader .
