The Reverend John Marshall is a clergyman of the Episcopal Church of Scotland, and his History of Scornset-Eca,zsrAsneAL AND CIVIL AF- FAIRS was written at the suggestion of Dr. Wordsworth, Bishop of St. Andrews. It is at once heartily national and heartily anti-Presbyterian.
NUGGETS FRAM TILE OLDEST DIGGINGS is the quaint title of a clever book, written in wilful defiance of the Reverend Baden Powell's suppli- cation that the late Hugh Miller's Testimony of the Backe might be the last attempt to reconcile Genesis with Geology.
LETTERS FROM ALABAMA were written during a residence of seven or eight months in that State, and relate chiefly to the author's observations in natural history, a theme on which he is always to be heard with plea- sure.
PROVERBS OF ALL NATIONS does not purport to be a complete gather- ing of national proverbs, but it is a good selection arranged upon a novel and convenient plan, and accompanied with interesting illustrative matter.
