 The Mystic, a new poem, by the author of Festus, and 

 Men and Women, two volumes from the muse of Robert 

 Browning, must complete our list. 



Some idea of the interest which is excited by the ap- 

 proaching publication of Mr. Macaulay's two new vo- 

 lumes, may be formed from the fact that, besides the 

 regular booksellers, many dealers in old books are issuing 

 circulars to their customers, soliciting early orders to 

 prevent disappointment; that one house alone in the 

 Row has subscribed for 2500 copies, and that there is 

 little doubt that before the day of publication (which is 

 to be early in December), the number subscribed for by 

 the trade will be little short of 25,000 copies. 



A special general meeting of the Surrey Archaeological 

 Society will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 30th, at the St. 

 Olave's Branch School House, Magdalene Street, Tooley 

 Street, Southwark, for the purpose of taking the ne- 

 cessarj' measures for the publication of the first portion of 

 the Society's " Transactions." A paper, " Notices of 

 Horselydown," will be read by Mr. Corner. At the 

 conclusion of the business, the members will inspect the 

 interesting Church of St. Saviour, South wark; the archi- 

 tectural and antiquarian features of which will be pointed 

 out by George Gwilt, Esq., F.S.A., and the Rev. C. 

 Bouteil, M.A. The visit to the church will take place at 

 2 o'clock.
