NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[Nov. 17. 1855. 



injustice to Dr. Strang's work to consider it merely as an 

 amusing record of the various Societies wliich tiie love of 

 good companionship in Glasgow has called into existence 

 at different times. Intermixed with much that is most 

 amusing and gossipping, Dr. Strang gives us many pic- 

 tures of the sociiil condition of Glasgow at various periods, 

 which exhibit, far more vividly than any regular history 

 could do, its progress from what little more than a cen- 

 turj' since was but a small quiet town, and is now one of 

 the'most important commercial cities of the Empire. 



Books Rkceived. — Agamemnon the King. A Tragedy, 

 from the Greek of JEschi/lus, by William Blew, M.A. A 

 very spirited version, translated with " an unlicentious 

 freedom," which is well vindicated by Mr. Blew in his 

 long and interesting preface. 



Specimens of Greek Anthology, translated hy Major 

 Robert Guthrie Macgregor. These translations from that 

 storehouse of graceful tiioughts, the Greek Anthology', 

 furnish another proof of the scholarship now happily so 

 frequent among the officers of both " Services." 



The Tenants at Tinker's End. Another of the series of 

 admirable tales issued by Parker of Oxford, under the 

 title of Tales for the Young Men and Women of England. 



A Handbook to the Marine Aquarium, containing prac- 

 tical Instructions for Constructing, Stocking, and Main- 

 taining a Tank, and for Collecting Plants and Animals, by 

 P. H! Gosse, A. L. S. Mr. Gosse's name is a sufficient 

 voucher for the able manner in which the management 

 of a marine aquarium is explained in this little half- 

 crown volume. Thanks to Mr. Gosse's instructions, and 

 to Mr. Lloyd's energy, in establishing a means of supply- 

 ing marine animals, sea-weeds, &c., the se.aside is trans- 

 ferred to our fireside, and we may study at our leisure 

 a most interesting branch of natural histor3'.
