We have received Park MAX. of Old Rouses in.Bdiabarglf, ,

Drawn by Bruce J. Home (S. Bagster and Sons, Is. net the' number). We noticed the first two numbers of this series some months ago, and are glad to see the first volume completed (another is to follow). We may mention, among many

• good things,—there are three drawings in each number-7 " Brodie's Yard" (Brodie was the Deacon who took to "burgling" by way of metering his shattered fortunes) ; " Doorway of the Gordon House, Castlehill" ; " Baird's Close," a particularly characteristic Old Town scene. Artist and publisher are doing a truly civic service to Edinburgh by this series.
