CURRENT LITERATURE.
---e-
Nzw EnrrioNs.—As is usually the case at this time of year, our table is burdened with new editions, and our space will not allow us to do more than to notice their appearance. Some, indeed, are worthy of a more detailed account, and would receive it, if they came out in the dead season. Thus, the fourth edition of Sir Roderick Murchison's Siluria (Murray) has much new matter, the result of the geological discoveries of the last eight years. Thus, too, Mr. Smiles's Life of Telford (Murray) is an extension of the biographical sketch published among the "Lives of the Engineers." It will be interesting to students of both these branches to know what additions have been made to such works, and we need not say that students of geology will find Sir Roderick Murchison's new edition especially valuable. We next have a new edition of Dr. Temple's Rugby Sermons (Macmillan); the seventh edition of Lord Mil-
ton and Dr. Cheadle's North-West Passage by Land (Cassell, Patter, and Galpin); new editions of Dr. Hayes's Open Polar Sea (Low, Son, and Marston); of Dr. Carlyle's translation of Dante's Divine Comedy (Chap- man and Hall); of the Rev. L Gregory Smith's Life of Our Blessed Saviour, being an Epitome of the Gospel Narrative (Rivingtons); of Mr. Sheppard's Autumn Dream (Elliot Stock); of Miss Dora Greenwell's Two Friends (Strahan); of the Hon. T. J. Hovell-Thurlow's The Com- pany and the Crown (Blackwood); of Mr. Lever's Sir Brook Fossbrooke (Blaokwood); of Mrs. Edmund Jennings's John Douglas's Vow (Chap- man and Hall) ; of Appleton's Handbook of American Travel (Low, Son, and Marston); of Mr. Dalgleish's Introductory Text-Book of English Composition (Edinburgh: Oliver and Boyd); and of Mr. William Milton's
Victim of the Nineteenth Century (printed for the Author).
