CURRENT LITERATURE.

We are requested by the solicitors of Mr. Andrew Bell, whose book, under the title of A History of Feudalism, we reviewed in our issue of the 8th August, to explain that the author's own title for the book was the more modest one of Historical Sketches of Feudalism, and that the ambitious title under which it has been recently issued by his pub- lisher was without his knowledge and contrary to his intention. Legal steps have been taken by Mr. Bell against the printers and publishers of the "pretended History of Feuchdism."
