Heroes of Discovery. By Samuel. Mossman. (Edinburgh : Edmonton and

Douglas.)—Sketches of the lives and adventures of Magellan, Cook, Park, Franklin, and Livingstone. The idea is a good one, and Mr. Moasman has produced an interesting book. We do not suppose that he will complain of the last news about Dr. Livingstone, though it may render some alteration necessary in his book, and furnish him with fresh matter for a new edition.
