Thackeray's London. By W. H. Rideing. (J. W. Jarvis and

Son.)-- This is a pleasant little account of the places which are connected either with the actual presence of the great novelist, or with the scenes of his fiction. The Charterbouse, for instance, where the old Colonel passed away ; "120 Fitzroy Square," where he kept house with James Binnie ; the Athenaeum Club, where Thackeray himself spent many hours; the various houses in Albion Street, in Great Ceram Street, in Onslow Square, in Kensington Square, and, finally, in Palace Gardens, which he occupied at different times, are here described. It has been a labour of love, and it has been well and sympathetically done.
