We have received a second edition, ".corrected, revised, and en-

larged," of the Highland Sportsman, By Robert Hall. (John Men-

zies, Edinburgh.)—There is plenty of useful information in the book. The name and extent of the chief shootings and &hinge iu the High- lands are given ; and with these, the rent. So far, the reader will be safe ; but when be comes to ask what ho will get for his money, it behoves him to be cautious. The description of the obtainable sport seems to us, in one or two of the cases where from personal know- ledge we can check it, to be somewhat highly coloured.—The Army and Navy Calendar, 1%3.4 (W. IL Allen and Co.), gives in a com- pendious form, and at a very low price, the usual information about the Army, Navy, Militia, and the Volunteers.
