Major SHERER was known in other days as an agreeable

writer of Travels ; somewhat sentimental, rather superficial, but with a pleasing pen, which painted scenes and objects prettily enough, if not very sternly or exactly true. The Imagery of Foreign Travel is a selection of the most interesting parts from his former publications; and embraces reminiscences and sketches in India, Egypt, Southern Europe, and Germany, intermingled with some praises of a soldier's life and soldiers' characters. It forms a plea- sant volume of light reading, such as may be perused on a sofa or kloungiug-chair with the eyes half-shut.
