Tibet, Tartary, and Mongolia ; their Social and Political Condition, and the Religion of Baodh as there existing. Compiled from the reports of ancient and modern travellers, especially. from M. Hue's Reminiscences of the recent journey of himself and-M. Gabet, Lazar- iste Missionaries of Mongolia. By Henry T. Prinsep, [This volume contains a brief notice of the earlier travellers into Tartary and China, with a precis of the late work of M. Hue, a French Romanist missionary into those countries and Thibet, for purposes "de propaganda fide." This precis is an able and painstaking digest of a curious account of strange regions, in which all the information is retained, though some of the- dramatic characteristics are possibly omitted, and the errors of the author corrected, or his mistakes pointed out; which is the more necessary as M. Hue was compelled to write from memory, since to have taken notes would have involved the risk of life. The volume forms a repertory of information on a little-known subject.] Contemporary French Literature. The History of the Restoration of Monarchy, in France. By Alphonse de Lamartine, Author of "The History of the Girondists" Division I. [This speculation is an endeavour to defeat some late decisions on' the-law of copyright by private enterprise and exertion. In addition to the translation appearing before the original, "certain passages, as essential to the work as

Prime of Denmark to the play of Hamlet, will be originally written by the author in- the English language" ; which, it seems, will maintain the rights of the author and proprietors, in the present case, we should think the cheapness of the book would pretty well do that.]

A Brief Sketch of the Establishment of the Anglican Church in In- dia. By Major-General Parlb,v, C.B. 'This sketch relates to the former social condition and character of the Anglo- Indian in the absence of nearly all means of religious worship, compared with his present state, when ministers and churches, though not numerous, are more rife. It also gives an historical account of the means by which the change was gccomplished. The volume is pleasant and informing,.

though somewhat desultory.] • Home Truths for Home Peace, or " Muddle " Defeated ; a Practical Inquiry into what chiefly mars or makes the Comfort of Domestic Life. Especially addressed to Young Housewives. [Intended as hints for young housewives to make home neat, regular, and happy, by avoiding " muddle." The book is written in the form of a series of sketches of everyday life, designed to exhibit domestic muddle in all its aspecta. It is done satirically, with a sort of literal truth and literal cleverness, but writing predominates too much.] The Comical Creatures from Wurtemberg : including the Story of Rey- nard the Fox. With twenty Illustrations, drawn from the staid animals contributed by Herrmann Plouequet of Stuttgart to the Great Exhibition.

[The illustrations drawn from the stuffed animals by means of Claudet's daguerreotype form the most remarkable feature of this publication. The tales written to accompany the plates are good imitations of the style of ani- mal-speaking dories, but are deficient in appropriateness of character. An old version of "Reynarcl the Fox" is among the half-dozen tales.] Notes and Sketches of Gallery or Collective Bible Lessons ; with Notes Geographical and Explanatory. By George Henry Taylor, Master of the Model School, and Normal Master of the National Society's Train- ing Institution, Battersea. [Intended as a help-book for class-teachers in schools. It consists of a series of skeleton narratives from Scripture, which the teacher is to fill up from himself in the form of a full story ; this lesson to be preceded by geogra- phical, verbal, and social explanations, and followed by examinations. In some cases the narrative is completed, to show the manner in which the idea should be carried out.] Ely-Fishing in Salt and Fresh Witter. With six Plates, representing Artificial Flies, tte. [A brief, clever, and original work, not written to teach the tyro, but to in- form the angler by hints on practice, recommendatory description of locali- ties, and a full account of artificial flies and tackle, which the author has proved by his own experience. There is some personal adventure mingled with his descriptions ; the newest portion is that which relates to sea fly- fishing off the coast of Ireland.] A Treatise on the A&opleustic Art, or Navigation in the Air, by means of Kites, or Buoyant Sails ; with a Description of the Charvolant, or Kite Carriage. And containing numerous most amusing and inte- resting- Anecdotes connected with the several extraordinary Excursions both by Sea and Land. With Illustrations by Rose Gilbert, from De- signs by David Cox junior. [A description of the use of kites in drawing a boat through the water and a carriage (constructed for the purpose) on land illustrated with plates. The stories told of their power are curious ; but the invention, if it even insures all that is said of it, is of the nature of a toy, and depends for its use upon the wind.] Second Class-Book of Physical Geography ; embracing Organic Life, and the Geographical Distribution of Plants, Animals, and Man. By William Rhild, Author of "First Class-Book of Physical Geography,' &e.

[A continuation of the author's undertaking to supersede the old mode of teaching geography, by introducing into school-teaching the larger and more interesting views of the science taken by Humboldt and his followers.] Honour to Labour; a Lay of 1851. By the Lady Emmeline Stuart Wortley.

[The verse is hardly equal to the theme of the writer—" honour to labour," or to the subject of the Great Exhibition ; and poetry is one of those things in which people will not take the will for the deed.] The Stradametrical Survey of London. Part I. Containing the Mean Distances, with their relative Cab Fares, from all the Principal Streets, Squares, or Places in London, to the Great Exhibition, and the several Railway Termini in the Metropolis.

Heine. How to See the Exhibition in Four Visits. By W. Blanchard .Terrold. Hunt's Handbook to the Official Catalogues. Part III. • Amtlicher Catalog der Ausstellung der Industrie Erzeugnisse Alter Volker, 1851. Deutsch bearbeitet von Edward A. Moriarty. [The only strictly new publication connected with the Great Exhibition is Mr. Heine's "Key." By a skeleton plan on a large scale, with letterpress and figures descriptive of the position of general subjects and some leading articles, it furnishes a very good idea of the arrangement and place of the various articles.] The reprints or collections of periodically published books are few, and tell their own story.
