E. e.. Jack. 21s. net.)—This, the fifth portfolio, completes the work,' which now gives us a gallery of distinguished personitges,=.-f beginning with James III. and ending with. Dr. John Brown:: In this last instalment the men of letters naturally predominate. .Of the total twenty-four, twelve may be so classed.. Among them are Sir Walter Scott, who would hardly have been remembered as a country gentleman, and Lord Jeffrey, ' who , is 'certainly not remembered as a Judge ; James Hogg, Hugh Miller, Sir William Hamilton, "Christopher North," and Thomas Carlyle., Lord Dundonald, Lord Dalhousie, and Livingstone 'are prominent among the rest. We congratulate the publishers on the' com- pletion of a work of much interest and value. It is satisfactory to know that the owners of portraits have been patriotically! liberal with them. Only two refusals have been received when permission has been asked to reproduce.
