PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.

Again the books of the week consist for the most part of new editions and reprints. One new book which has already achievdd-Rotoriety; if not fame, is that which bears the stunning title of THE GREAT TRIED. LATION, OT THE THINGS COMING ON THE EARTH. We have indicated in a preceding column how little Dr. Cumming is qualified by his know- ledge of the past and the present to forecast the future ; but what has knowledge to do with the sale of a book ? His is selling rapidly. Our copy bears on its title-page this golden legend, " Third Thousand."

A book which will have a general and a hearty welcome is the Rector of Eversley's MISCELLANIES, reprinted chiefly from Fraser's Magazine and the .North British Review. Among its contents is that exquisite paper " My Winter Garden," and many others on kindred subjects, dis- playing the fine perception, subtle and vigorous thought, and marvellous word-painting of the " Minute Philosopher."

A new translation of the history of that renowned knave and hu- mourist, Tyll Owlglass, has been issued by Mr. Triibner in a volume of rare beauty, finely printed on tinted paper, and profusely adorned with chromolithographs and woodcuts in Alfred Crowquill's best manner. Wonderful has been the popularity of Tyll Eulenspiegel (so the original is called), surpassing even that of the Pilgrim's Progress, though the latter has been translated into Arabic, and is now much in vogue among the Syrian Christians. " Tyll's fame," says Carlyle, " has gone abroad into all lands ; thus the narrative of his exploits has been published in innumerable editions, even with all manner of learned glosses, and translated into Latin, English, French, Dutch, Polish; nay in several languages, as in his own, an Eulenspiegelerci and Espieglerie, or dog's trick, so named after him, still, by consent of lexicographers, keeps his memory alive." A " wise critic " quoted by the same writer, remarks that the book abounds " in inventive humour, in rough merriment, and broad drollery, not without a keen rugged shrewdness of insight ; which properties must have made it irresistibly captivating to the popular sense; and with all its fantastic extravagancies, and roguish crotchets, in many points instructive."
