Scott's Poems. (David Bryce and Son, Glasgow.)—Here are all the

poems in six miniature volumes, enclosed in a case. The case and all weigh together something less than 10 oz., and can be conveniently carried in a coat-pocket ; the separate volumes will go easily into a waistcoat-pocket, and weigh something lees than 11 oz. each. And yet they are clearly printed, so clearly that no one but quite weak- sighted persons need find any difficulty in reading them. They are neatly bound in blue cloth, and the only thing that we could wish away is the illustrations. Why these very poor little engravings, in which no one can possibly find any pleasure ? There is no intima- tion of the price, otherwise we would gladly have stated it.
