PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.

SIR JOHN EARDLEY WILMOT'S REMINISCENCES OF THE LATE Thomas Assnrrow SIAITH is an amusing memoir of a man unrivalled in his line, the "field marshal of fox hunting" as the Duke called him.

NAPOLEON III. ON ENGLAND. SELECTIONS FROM HIS OWN WRI- TINGS is a small volume of about two hundred pages, the nature of which is sufficiently explained by its title.

We welcome with pleasure the appearance of a new edition of Dr. Maginn's Sneaspaane PAPERS, enriched by an essay on Hamlet which was wanting in the first edition, and by a new biographical sketch of the author, which has advantageously superseded a very poor performance claiming the same designation.

The second series of FArranyr MEN AND POPULAR BOORS contains twelve essays from the literary columns of the Times. Among the sub- jects of ivhich they treat are James Watt, Mrs. Elliott's Narrative of the first French Revolution, Sir Bernard Burke's "Vicissitudes of Families," Sir Robert Peel's Memoirs, ece.

THE MERCHANTS' POLYGLOT MANUAL is published under official pa- tronage, and dedicated by special permission to the Lords of the Com- mittee of Privy Council for Trade. The purpose of the book is to fur- nish what is riot to be found in dictionaries—a complete nomenclature of' commercial and industrial terms in nine European languages. It is adapted to the most recent improvements in the useful arts, every article being designated by its proper technical name ; and it is the intention of the editor to sustain the practical character of the work by means of periodical supplements, so that it may continue to be a standard book of reference for all western nations.
