of the settlements , their climate , geology , botany , zoology , government , population , systems of
education , religious bodies , agricultural and mining characteristics , land laws , rates of wages , and other matters on which information is likely
to be useful to emigrants . The book is so complete that it would be difficult to find a point in its pages open to criticism .
From Mr . Walter Smith .. — ' The Consolations of the Christian Seasons . ' Part I .: Advent to
Easter . By George Edward Jelf , M . A ., Canon of Rochester and Vicar of Saffron Wai den . A volume of meditations on the teachings of the
various Sundays and seasons of the Christian year , as observed by the Church , so treated as to ¦ afford *™ m M ~^^ comfort - *^ »™^^ V ^ v - ^ ^ and rfV Av * W consolation ^^^ V ww ^ bv « v « K * h « h ^ to ^ 0 - % & ' anxiou 'mttm m tm m i « ^^ W «* s mimr and ^^ v » ^* ^ ^* ^^ ^^
militant souls , ' The tone of the book is that of the Anglican school of divines , and its language is characterised by the utmost simplicity and
sobriety . From Mr . W . Stevens . — 'From Gloom to
Sunlight . ' This is the new volume of the 'Family Story-Teller / by the author of the ' Love that Lives . ' It is a crown octavo of 222 pages in a stiff
cover . From Mr . Elliot Stock . —E . Garbett ' s «

-ings , ' part I . These are pieces of the most eminent authors specially arranged and printed for jl professional elocutioaists , public A readers , and
members of literary institutions , edited by J . C . L . The point appears to be that the chosen extracts or — pieces are printed — — in an unusuall — — y large type
indeed Bibles ^ , which very are like _ g _ prepared that used for for the - Prayer reading & -books -desk ^^ ^/ ; or a , very happy notion , we think . One of the extracts
is the poor clerk ' s lament from Punch , on his lot generally . If it be permitted to think seriously of a wail in the pages of a comic paper , we
should say that a clerk , who , according to his own account , only ' fetches' 20 s . aweekafter 20 years ' experience and service in one house of business
, must be—worth twenty shillings a week . From Messrs . Vizetelly & Co . — 'A New Lease

I M . , J - - - ~ - - — J translations from the French * form ^ two numbers T of the publisher ' s shilling series of ' Popular 11 French Novels , ' and in each case we see that the
book is in its third thousand . This fact proves that the popularity which we prophesied for the scheme when it was first announced has been
amply justified by the reception of the works already issued . From Messrs . WardLockA Co . — 'The
Poetical Works of Joh , n Greenleaf , Whittierwith a Critical Biography by William Michael , Rossetti . ' This volume of 452 pages comprises the
complete poetical works of one of the greatest of American poets . Although less known on this side of the Atlanticin his own country Mr .
Whittier is held in , almost equal estimation with Longfellow himself . His pooma have all tho smooth melody and the pathos of the
author of ' Evangeline' and ' Hiawatha / united
with a quainter tancy . To the descriptive talent
