The Duke of Friedland. A Play in four acts. By

William Boerhaave. (Murray and Co.)—Mr. Boerhaave has not plagiarized from Schiller, indeed we question if he has read Schiller's Wallenstein before emulat- ing it. We also question if he has read any life of his hero, or any history of his hero's times. He has certainly never looked into an English prosody.
