Windsor Castle, and the Waterway Thither. By W. H. Davenport

Adams. (Marcus Ward.) — The writer starts on his imaginary voyage from Battersea, and, as he conducts us up the river, gossips pleasantly and not uninstructively about the villages and towns which we pass on either side of the river. For the correctness of all the details about persons and places it would be hazardous to vouch, but we have noticed no error of any importance. It is not strictly correct to say that Chiswick Churchyard "contains the dust" of Ugo Foscolo, which was, we believe, removed to Italy a few years ago. The engravings are, for the most part, satisfactory ; the chrome-lithographs are not successful.
