We have also received the two first volumes of the
collected works of Professor Wilson, containing a portion of The Noctes Ambrosiance (Blackwood and Sons), with portraits of the Professor and Mr. Lock- hart; Burns's Poems and Burns's Song; published by Messrs. Bell and Daldy in their series of Pocket Classics, which are really admirable for clear typo, good paper, and neat binding ; the first part of a People's Edition of Lord Macaulay's History of England (Longman and Co.), which will enable the public to obtain this valuable work in a fairly readable form for fourteen shillings ; the first part of a cheap illustrated edition of our old friend Robinson Crusoe (Henry Lea); The Universal Text-Book of Photography (Harvey, Reynolds, and Fowler, of Leeds); The Hand-Book to Paper Flower-Making, by Mrs. J. H. Minton (Ilontledge and Co.); and A Description, by Mr. Frederick Wallen, architect, of his plan for bridging over the valley between Holborn and Newgate, with plans and deaigns. He estimates the cost at the moderate sum of 271,0001., and the elevations of his proposed viaduct are certainly handsome.
