The Book of the Garden. By Charles M'Intosh, F.R.P.S., &c. In two volumes. Volume I. Structural. With 1073 Illustrations. [A twelvemonth has extended the first number of a serial into an ample volume of 750 pages, upwards of a thousand wood-cut illustrations, and many copperplate plans and views. Notwithstanding this extent, The Book of the Garden is only half completed ; the first volume dealing with struc- ture, not cultivation. "Structural," however' in the mind of Mr. M'Intosh, is a word of wide meaning. It embraces the formation and arrangement of culinary and fruit gardens the building of hot-houses, fruit-houses, plant- houses, and a variety of other garden structures, and includes moreover an in- vestigation into the principles of ventilation, as well as full details of construc- tion from garden-walls to the more complicated structures. Flower-gardens, in like manner, are treated in their various classes of geometrical, gar- denesque, and picturesque. The directions on these subjects refer for the most part to gardens upon a large scale • but Mr. M'Intosh also handles town and small suburban gardens, strongly recommending for towns a co- vered garden, whose sides and roof should be glass, with iron supports, for such support as is needed in addition to the yard-walls. The cost, including tank and preparations for attificial heat to repel frost, the author estimates at less than 2001. for a space 60 feet by 40 feet.] The Cape of Good Hope Almanack and Annual Register for 1853. Compiled from the most authentic sources, by B. J. van de Sandt de Villiers.

[Of course a South African import. It is a superior compilation ; contain- ing a variety of statistical, financial, and general information relating to the colony, with a directory for Cape Town and environs. There are also an annual register of colonial events, and several notices of the outlying dis- tricts of the colony, as well as an account of the Great Lake, by Dr. Living- stone.]

The Great Cities of the Middle Ages, or the Landmarks of European Civilization : Historical Sketches. By Theodore Alois Buckley, B.A., Chaplain of Christchurch, &c. With Illustrations. [Notices of Bagdad and the principal cities of Europe; slightly topographical, but principally used as a means of introducing historical sketches. Thus, the leading feature of Aix la Chapelle is the character and exploits of Charle- magne; at Upsala and Stockholm, the early history of Sweden is presented, still embodied in biographical notices of the eminent actors. Mr. Alois Buckley freely avails himself of historians or travellers to vary his own text by extracts.] Sermons on various Subjects.By the Reverend A. Gibson, 31.A., Vicar of Chedworth, Gloucestershire, &c.

[Eight-and-twenty sermons of very considerable merit, in which a sound and reasonable interpretation of the text leads to an earnest inculcation of the duty it teaches. The topics of the discourses are various, but all with practical bearing, and apparently addressed to a mixed congregation. The style is impressive, by dint of weight and closeness ; the Christian duties are strictly but not impracticably enforced.] The Life of a Collegian; a Novel. In two volumes.

[The "collegian" was a member of Trinity College many years ago : his autobiography consists of a love story, which ends in the death of his mis- tress and his marriage to her sister, and in pictures of "larks," "sprees," and social parties, that might have characterized Dublin society some time since. In addition to Mr. Alleyn's own love affair, there is another of his friend Oldsworth, leading to more adventures than his own, including Alleyn's forcible abduction, and a duel. The social sketches have little spirit, but they have a sort of vraisemblanee—that kind of likeness which is found in a portrait that is artistically bad. The romance is of a /Silesian wildness.]

Life by the Fireside. By the Author of "Visiting my Relations," &c. [A series of" sketches" of existing society ; exhibited as much in dialogue as description,—as the Family Fireside, the Widower's Fireside, or sometimes life without a fireside, as in a boarding-house. A religious purpose, recom- mending us to bear and make the best of things, with considerable obser- vation of life and perception of character, raise this little volume above sketches in general ; but it seems rather to have been thrown off as an amusement than undertaken as a literary labour.] True Stories. By an Old Woman. [Rather commonplace matter expanded by over-detail.] Dante's Divine Comedy. 2'he Purgatory. Translated in the original Ternary Rhyme, by C. B. Cayley, B.A.

[This version of the .Purgatory of Dante continues a translation, a very full notice of whose principle and merits will be found in the Spectator for 1851, pp. 995-997.]
