The Books of the Universe. Kirk of Scotiand: wherein the Head's and Conclusionis devysit be the Ministers and Commissionaris of the parti- cular Kirks thereof are specially expressed and contained. Edited by ALEXANDER PETER KIN, Esq., late Sheriff-Substitute of Orkney. This is a reprint of so much as remains in the Advocate's Library at Edinburgh, of the " booke," or, as we 8outhrons should call it, the minutes of the Kirk of Scotland, in Geueral .1.,qanbly assembled, &oils Kai to IG16; the original having been burned in the tire which destroyed the Parlia- ment House in 1834. The importance of such a record to the antiquarian, time clergyman, or the historian, is unquestionable, as a storehouse of original materials ; and we see by a transient glance that it appears to contain matter illustrative of the morals and manners of the age. Should these upon investi- gation turn out available for popular purposes, we shall return to the volume.] Minor Morals for Yining People. Illustrated by Tales and Travels, par- ticularly in the East. By JOIIN BOWRING. With Illustrations by GEORGE CRUIKSIIANK. Part III.

[Dr. B0'0111141 has thrown some of the experience acquired by his diplo- matic excursions its the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe into the shape of juvenile tales; the main purpose of which is to inculcate toleration for fo- reigners, their customs, and religion. They are also made the vehicle of a good deal of information touching the superstitions of time Greeks and the Mahometans of Egypt and Turkey. Altogether, it is an amusing and in- structive little book ; although the story of " The Peri and the Tailor" is a little strong even for barbarian belief.

By JOON EPPS, M.D., Meths cal Director of the Royal Jennerian and Lotidon Vaccine Institutions. [A. honeropathic " Buchan"—miniature size of course, for both book and medicine-chest will go into the pocket. Doubtless, children will prefer the in- finitesimal doses; and it will be vastly convenient for pbysicking mammas and benevolent ladies to carry a doctor and his shop about in their reticules. If the globules of camomile and sulphur do no good, they can do no harm ; and the temperate diet prescribed as essential to their efficacy cannot fail of being be- neficial—if followed.]

Also, the Route to fialia by way of Egypt. By IL CLAR I LW I:, Esq. A new edition. [The addition of different routes by which Constantinople may be reached, is a great improvement to this guide-book fir the Asian tourist : the account of Constantinople, however, seems rather calculated to amuse a cursory reader, than to inform a visiter, and explain the rationale of the strange sights that would meet the eye of the adventurous Cocknies, whom the facilities of steam communication down the Danube may lure so far from the sound of Bow- belL] Guide to Jersey and Guernsey ; with a brief Sketch ofthe neighbouring Islands of Alderney, Sercq, Herm, and Jethou ; and a 31ap of the whole.
