2gg MONTHtT REVIEW OF LITKRATUUK. 



Thj Waveiley Novel?. Parts 1 to 4. With Illustrations by Turner. 



Fisher, Son, and Co., London and Paris. 

 This well-designed and inexpensive way of presenting us with the works of 

 Scotland's dearest bard, with illustrations of the best description, cannot fail of 

 obtaining a wide and liberal patronage. 



EUiott's Poem?. In Weekly Parts. Part 1. 



These po°nis are of a superior order. Mr. Elliott has gained a reputation 

 that must be hio-hly gratifying to himself and pleasing to his literary friends and 

 contemporaneous writers. 



Chapters of Contemporary History. By Sir John Walsh, Baronet. 



John Murray, Albermarle Street. 18.36. 

 This is a very interesting and able essay, consisting of a series of chapters of Con- 

 temporary History, commencing wiih the administration of Lord Grey. The 

 political world will be anxious to possess this work, which really forms a 

 parliamentary "text-book," and should be carefully read by every practical mem- 

 ber of the Houses of Lords and Commons. 



Parts 11 and 12. Van Voorst's History of British Fishes. By Wil- 

 liam Yarrell, F.L.S Illustrated by upwards of 100 Wood-cuts, 

 including numerous Vignettes.

 characteristic samples of the choice spirits of the age. They are presented in 

 this higlily-anusing and clever publication, containing several excellent portraits

 beauty; and, what is more, we shall continue to exhibit the series in succession, 

 as in a glass. 



The Engineer's and Mechanic's Encyclopedia, &c. Parts 2, 3, and 4. 

 Thomas Kelly, Paternoster-row. 



This useful work proceeds with vigour. Part Four, we think the most inte- 

 resting yet issued. Under the lieads calico-printing, calculating-machines, carving 

 c^rds, and coal-mine, we have a store of valuable information. The wood en- 

 gravings are done in a masterly manner, and serve to illustrate the various subjects 

 treated of admirably well. As we said at first, this elaborate yet inexpensive un- 

 dertaking I'liist find its way to every scientific man in the kingdom. 



" Intellectual Toys." West, Fleet Street. 



This little work is intended to engage the youth of both sexes in scientific pur-
