/Caw Entaioxs.s—A Book about Roses, by S. Reynolds Hole, (Blackwood

and Sons), has reached its seventh edition, and appears with a description of thirty now kinds of roses, and with various additional hints, which the author's enlarged experience enables him to give.—A Fool's Errand, by " One of the Fools," has reached, we learn from the title-page, its "one hundred and third thousand," and that in little more than a year's life.—The Camp of Refuge. Edited by Samuel H. Miller. (Wisboach : Leach and Son. London : Simpkin and Marshall,)—It is some years since this work appeared; and it is well, therefore, to say that it is a spirited story of the resistance offered by the Saxon to the Norman invaders in the fen laUcl of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire. Readers may compare Mr. Kingsley's treatment of the same subject in his " Hereward."

—We have also received the "fourth edition" of ill y Lady Green- Sleeves, by the Author of " thro' the Rye." (Sampson Low, and Co.)—The Royal Guide to the London Charities, by Herbert Fry (D. Bogue), appears in its eighteenth annual edition.
