Burnham Beeches. By Francis George Heath. (Sampson Low and Co.)—We

were requested, we have just observed, nearly six Months ago, to give " an early notice " of this little book. We will do what we can now. Mr. Heath has written a most readable account of the "Beeches," of their history, as well as of the history of Burnham and its common, of the present condition of the place, and, not least interesting, of the negotiations which ended in the purchase of the place by the Corporation of London. There are some very pretty illustrations. Let our readers enjoy Mr. Heath's book now, and go to see the Beeches themselves in the summer, if we have a summer.
