BURTON'S ROME.*

This is a curious and interesting work for all those of our readers whose information or travels may lead them to take an interest in the Eternal City. It is an antiquarian production, without formality or prolixity ; a character which alone will demonstrate its value. Mr. BURTON is a man of reading, who has examined for himself, and who writes rather to inform his readers than to show his own learning. We have no doubt that this work will acquire the reputation of an indispensable, for all those who are betaking themselves to the study of the great monuments of Roman glory.
