From Messrs . Smith . Elder , A Co . —' Walks . in London / By Augustus J . C . Hare . Fifth edition ( revised ) . In two volumes . The author who
undertakes to describe the history and characteristic features of London must at the outset be prepared M to submit his work to periodic * and serious
revision , and it is a fortunate coincidence for Mr . Hare that his ' Walks in London' should have met with so much favour as to demand the
issue of no fewer than five editions , thus enabling him to keep pace with the times . The ' improv- I ing ' - processwhich the Northern Primate recently I
tt » J , — — — M described as having something of a Fenian smack about i t , is so constantly going forward in London that the present A tense has year tt after year W to be
exchanged for the past in a large number of eases ; and thus , while in the fifth edition Northumin berland the next House the has descri become ption a thing of St . of James the past ' s Park , so
will have to include the Wellington Statue , which will shortly be removed to its new site .

he has performed this somewhat difficult part of 11 his task . It is a work which everyone ought to read , and all vrho are able to do so should place

a Selection of English Poetry , ' by F . W . FaiTar , D . D . We are not surprised to learn from the preface that the compiler of this volume felt
some hesitation on being asked by the publishers to prepare for them a manual of English poetry , when he remembered the number and
excellence of the collections already in existence ; but those who are in search of a high-class poetry book for young people will probably hold that
Messrs . Suttaby exercised a wise discretion in book securing rests " ¦* Dr almost . Farrar entirel ' a aid y . not The onl — value y on the of editor such ' a s
