Mr. CHAMBERS'S Picture of ,Scotland, we see by the titlepage,
has reached a third edition ; a tolerable proof that the labours of its enthusiastic author have been well appreciated. It contains much local gossip, as well as a great deal of readable matter, scarcely less interesting to the native than to the Southron. The directions for pleasure excursions, the guide to watering-places,. and the itinerary, appended to the second volume, must be par- ticularly serviceable to the tourist, who may now ratable from the Tweed to John-o-'Groat's under the guidance of a very amusing companion. We are sorry that it is impossible to praise the engravings; some of which are any thing but pictures of Scotland. They ought to be replaced, in the next edition, by something more creditable to the present state of the arts. In what ancient ahnanack could Mr. Cuemneas find his views of Craigmillar Castle, Postai, and Hawthornden ?
