A Handy Book of Criminal Law. By W. Campbell Sleigh, Esq., of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law—A very creditable imitation of Lord St. Leonards, in fact more readable and interesting, if less learned than the great property-lawyer's popular exposition of his life-long study. This is in a measure owing to the nature of the subject. There is more of the " qaidquid agunt homines " in embezzling, cheating, thieving, and robbing—legal robbery being a taking from the person accompanied with violence—than in purchasing a property ; or at least there is more of action. -Often, too, there is as much ingenuity displayed by the thieves as the lawyers themselves can show ; albeit the law leaning on the " animus furandi" and " taking "—that is "the separation of the thing from the possession of the owner and an entire possession by the taker," are as refined as any learning well can be. Here is a case ea the law of taking. "A person of the name of Walsh got upon the box of a stage-coach, Ina laid hold of the upper end of a bag, which was lying in the boot, and lifted it np some distance from the bottom, for the purpose of taking it away and stealing it. While endeavouring to pull it out, the guard of the coach seized him ; and he was tried for stealing this bag and the question arose whether, as the bag was not taken quite out of the boot but merely removed from the spot on which it lay, there was a sufficient taking to constitute larceny. The opinion of the judges was taken, and they held that as the bag had been entirely removed from the spot on which it rested--each pert from that part of the boot which it had occupied, the taking was complete I and the conviction by the jury correct." The Hand-book is of course not intended for lawyers, and

mainly addressed to the trading community, is more concerned

those takings" whose essence is trick or dexterity than with crimes of violence, as highway robbery or burglary. In phrase congenial to the theme, it will doubtless put up the reader to the general principles dills law, so as to render him capable of forming a notion " after the WV' as to whether he has been, popularly speaking, robbed, or only den! And though it may not enable him to become his own lawyer, it inn furnish some curious and even amusing reading.

Mr. Norwood's new edition of Robinson on the Law of Gavelkind, adapted to the present state of the law, by the omission of obsolete mat- ter and the insertion of notes and precedents. The omissions reduce the bulk, and we suppose the price of the book ; while they facilitate its 4,061 3'e itr'' Home and the Homelesi. A Novel.

' ' MAPS. .

To meet the natural interest of the public in the new colony of British Columbia, and Atlantic telegraphic communication, which . is rather sus- pended than really interrupted, Messrs. Black have published two sheet saps. One contains North America; with the new colony on a- larger scale than the Continent, both being distinguished for neatness of etdcu- tion and fulness of partienlars, which last- does not interfere with clear- ness. The " Map of the Atlantic Ocean" has the line, of telegraph with a section of the ocean along its course, and the proposed railways from the Atlantic to the Pacific seabords, for its leadinn- features ; but the ex- isting and contemplated , sea ,-route; from Englail and Ireland-are also

marked, as well as the ocean currents. . ' •

Messrs. Dean and Son have reissued Sir John Lubbock's maps of "the stars," originally designed for' and published 'by the Useful Kno*ledge

Society.

land, and the Fraser Ilint.tr Gold Fields.' ' '

These seasonable publications still continue to drop in, that wonderful sixpennyworth of Royal, Parliamentary, Official, Colonial, Military, Naval, and Statistical information, " Dietriehsen and Hannay's Royal Almanack " taking the lead.

The Boudoir Almonack is a very pretty and admirable thing in its way. It fascinates, it dazzles, it enchants. The new art of colour- illHating is brought into action to convey a transcript of Mr. Uwins' de-

• tful picture of a vintage in the south of France. This is rendered, course, with brightness rather than with delicacy ; perhaps the purple grapes are a shade too purple the colours of the field and vintagers' coo- tames a little too warm for the reality. But who cares for that upon an almanack ? Round the tabular space allotted to the months is distri- buted a festoon of rose, ranunculus, anemone, and all kinds of delicate at ceteras, which are fondling July and January equally with December and June ; thus whispering of a perpetual Spring. Altogether the idea is a happy one.

The Turtle Making Choice of their .Patron Saints—The Turtle in Sciatica, on being favoured with a Glance of Recognition by the Winking Madonna.—Two wretchedly poor lithographed caricatures, by whom we know not, being Nos. 3 and 4 of a series of which we have not seen, and be not wish to see, the remainder ; prompted as it is by religious ran- cour, and executed by artistic inefficiency. We fancy there is some spice of personal, as well as sectarian, spite in the affair.
