CURRENT LITERATURE.

We have received the second volume of The Century Dictionary. (T. Fisher Tinwin.)—This contains from " Conocephalus " to "fz,"—that is, it completes the first six letters of the alphabet. So far it has been kept within its limits. "The Imperial Dic- tionary," which is the substructure of the work, brings these same letters into about a thousand of its total of three thousand pages, and The Century Dictionary has furnished them in two out of its proposed three volumes. We have spoken so recently of this work that it will be sufficient to record the appearance of the new volume.
