MISCELLANZOIM—Sweet-Briar Sprays. By Harry Lowerison. (F. R. Henderson. ls. 6d.)—This
is a book of pleasant essays as sundry rural subjects, from churches onwards. The writer makes a pilgrimage to Carlyle's home at Ecelefechan, wanders about Epping Forest, about Northern London, and in London itself. He has an eye for observing Nature, and he prizes associations of the past. " The chapters are arranged according to the month of the year in which they were written."—In the series of " Black's Guide-Books " (A. and C. Black, Is.) we have the nineteenth edition of Galioay and the West of Ireland, revised and corrected by C. D. Jordan, B.A. It gives abundance of interesting information on many subjects, angling among them. This is just a little late for the present year, but the wise will make a note in view of the future.—We have received Record of the Clan Fergusson, Ferguson, and Fergus: Supplement, edited by James Fergusson and Robert Menzies Ferguson (D. Douglas, Edinburgh). This carries on and supplements a previous volume published in 1895, giving particulars of branches of the clan in various Scottish families, in Ireland, England, the Continent of Europe, and the United States.
