We have received the Journal of the Boston (U. S.)Library,

contain. ing the usual monthly report, in which it is stated that no less than 10,478 books were delivered on the 23rd of February last, a fact that must be highly gratifying to all who take an interest in the establishing and promoting of free libraries.—The Sportsman's and Tourist's Guide to Scotland (Simpkin, London ; Menzies, Edinburgh), giving the time- tables, and routes to the rivers, lochs, moors, and deer forests ; Cook's Guide to Paris and its Exhibition, 1878, which will be found useful by visitors to the Exhibition who have not previously been to Paris.
