We have received from Messrs. Routledge and Sons a new

edition of Gulliver's Travels, Adapted for the Young,—a necessary thing to do, even the strongest advocate of the "whole truth" would, we imagine, admit. All four parts, Brobdingnag, Lilliput, Laputa, and the country of the Houyluahnms, are included, with the modification already mentioned. There are between fifty and sixty illustrations, twelve of them being coloured plates.—The same publishers also send us a new edition, still more copiously illustrated, of Harriet Martineau's Playfellow. These capital stories are not likely soon to lose their place in the popular favour of the young.
