Thc English at Home. Third series. By Alphonse Esquires. Translated

by Sir Lascelles Wraxall. (Chapman and Hall.)—Another instalment of these pleasant, gossiping, superficial sketches, which are, perhaps, hardly equal to the two preceding. And we must say that the feeder of the Berkeley kennels, if he gave M. Esquires the lecture which he is represented to have done, is quite a literary man and talks like a book. Indeed, the remarks of the working classes as reported by the author always lose all truth of expression, but that feeder is quite a philosopher.
