eternity." The book will be read and re-read for its 

 brilliancy and interest; it can however never be quoted 

 as an authority, for its writer has disdained to quote 

 those on which his own statements are based. M. de 

 Lamartine in making tills omission has done injustice 

 both to hlmsL^f and to his readers. 



Letters Historical iind Botanical, relatinff chiejly to 

 places in the Vale of Teign, ^-c, by Dr. Fraser Halle, is 

 a small volume which we can conscientiously recom- 

 mend as a desirable travelling companion to such of 

 our friends as may be about to visit this beautiful dis- 

 trict of 



"Lovely Devonia, land of flowers and songs." 



It is clearly the production of a thouglitful scholar ; 

 and besides its botanical notices and historical illus- 

 trations, contains many pleasant snatches of old song, 

 and hints of by -gone legends. 



Lives of the most eminent Painters, Sculptors, and 

 Architects, translated from the Ltalian of Giorgio Vasnri, 

 §-c., by Mrs. Foster, vol. iii., is another volume of Mr. 

 Bohn's Standard Library. Vasari's work was one of 

 the favourite books of the unfortunate Haydon ; and 

 now, when so much attention is being devoted by all 

 classes to the fine arts, when ciur nobles are throwing 

 open their galleries to the public, and admitting all to 

 a free study of the exquisite works in their possession, 

 an English version of such a series of biographies as 

 Vasari has given us, and enriched as it is by notes and 

 illustrations drawn from his best commentators, cannot 

 but find an extensive and ready sale. 



Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson (3. Wellington 

 Street) will sell on Wednesday next a valuable col- 

 lection of Engravings, the property of a distinguished 

 collector, by whom it was formed thirty years since, 

 chiefly from the Durand Collection ; and on Thursday 

 next a most interesting collection of Manuscripts and 

 Books of the poet Gray, the whole in beautiful con- 

 dition, togetlier with a collection of various editions of 

 his works, a posthumous bust, and other items con- 

 nected with the poet. On Friday the same auctioneers 

 will be engaged in the sale of the interesting collection 

 of Engraved British Portraits formed by the late 

 Thomas Harrison, Esq.
