"The bulk of it is composed of material collected during many years' reading, while the remainder con. sists of additional forms, significations, and illustrations of words given in the Dictionary, and of corrections and improvements of a large number of its meanings and etymologies. This volume is, therefore, at once an addition to and a correction of the Dictionary."- Spectator, Oct. 29. Jessopp, A: Arcady; for better for worse; study of rural life in England. "Squire and farmer, peasant and labourer, artisan and poacher, Dr. Jessopp watched them all. As he observed he criticised, and as he criticised he wrote down his criticisms, hot and fresh, and forwarded them to the Nineteenth Century.' The result was a series of papers, now embodied in a volume which is to our minds one of the most delightful ever published in English. Indeed, we doubt if such an account of English village-life, its bad and good sides, its specialties, its humours, and the odd gnarled characters it produces, ever has been published. The book is full of thought, but fuller yet of a subtle humourousness which is not Addison's or Lamb's, but something as separate, and almost as attractive, the humourousness of a man, who if his work had lain that way, might have been one of the raciest and most widely read of English novelists." Spectator, May 7. Kinglake, A. W. The invasion of Crimea; its origin, and account of its progress down to the death of Lord Raglan. Vol. 7, 8. "Vol. 7. — From the morrow of Inkerman to the fall of Canrobert. Vol. 8.-From the opening of Pélissier's command to the death of Lord Ragian." "The period embraced by the seventh volume, is to an Englishman or Frenchman, the most depressing, perhaps, of any, except that of the actual winter misery. The hero of it thoughout is, of course, the great Russian engineer. Mr. Kinglake recounts his exploits with an enthusiasm scarcely second to that which he throws into bis brilliant descriptions of English efforts. We doubt if the figure of Todleben has ever before been presented to the world with such vivid force." - Spectator, Dec. 10. It is a gloomy period to have selected for the conelusion of his task, if the materials on which Mr. Kinglake has specially relied were not at an end. There seems something in itself unsatisfactory in the fact that these eight nighty volumes should not carry down the siege to its close." Spectator, Dec. 17. Lane, W: C.

"A philosophical history which should neither suppress nor exaggerate the simple facts of the Inquisition, which should set it forth in its actual relations to the development of mankind, and should pass upon it an impartial judgement, has thus far been wanting. ... An elaborate work, the natural successor of his earlier writ ings, the manifest result of the highest historical abili ties sifting the truth, through many industrious years, from the vast mass of original documents.

"Two volumes weighted with argument on many topics of proverbial difficulty, in which Dr. Martineau has set forth his reasons for adhering to religion-defined as the belief in an ever-living God, that is, of a Divine Mind and Will ruling the universe and holding moral relations with mankind.' Earnest and even noble treatise. But of this, at least, we feel assured, that unless observations and experiment can in some way import fresh data into these timeworn controver sies, the successors of Milton, and of Dr. Martineau centuries hence will still be asserting eternal Providence and unfolding spiritual systems with lofty faith; and the successors, we will not say of Mill and Huxley, but of the avarage and impersonal reviewer, will still be implying a cautious sympathy, but avowing a lingering doubt."

This reflection might have warned Mrs. Oliphant that the subject was entirely unsuited to her mode of treatment, the intelligent visitor to Venice might read her book conscientiously from beginning to end, and not find in it the answer to any of the questions which his curiosity prompted him to ask. The doges of Venice are shadowy beings at the best, and a collection of all the stories about them that can be found does not make Venice much more intelligible. Mrs. Oliphant has entirely failed to comprehend the peculiar features of Venetian life and history which were due to the steady advance of the commercial class in political power and its stealthy encroachments on a state which was origi. nally aristocratic on a popular basis."- Saturday rev., Jan. 25. and Aldrich, T.

In noticing the poet's highest achievements, he does not allow his enthusiasm to overpower his judgment. A lover of fine verse he nevertheless demurs to Mr. Swinburne's use of such strong adjectives as faultless,' and 'absolute,' and does not hesitate to point out in detail the defects of that superb composition The Nightin gale ode.' The devotees of Keats may not be able to impugn this criticism, but they are not likely to be grate. ful for it, and still less will they appreciate the opinion that not many of Keat's poems are highly admirable,' or that he is emotional without substance, and beautiful without control." - Spectator, Dec. 31.
