We have received Vols. V. and VI. of Hakluytus Posthumus,

or Purchas His Pilgrimes, by Samuel Purchas (J. MacLehose and Sons, Glasgow, 12s. 6d. net per vol., the whole to be completed in twenty volumes). The fifth volume is occupied with various narratives of events in the East Indies, both English and Dutch, and the first part of John Leo's " Historie of Africa." This is continued in VI., which includes other travels in Africa. It is needless to commend to our readers this most valuable reissue.
