NOTES AND QUERIES. [2nd s. vi. 156.. dec. 25. 



'68. 



Dr. Doran, who is always ready with a good title and 

 a book to suit it, has just published a volume of tales and 

 sketches, which he calls New Pictures and Old Panels, 

 It is one of the most agreeable works of this most agree- 

 able writer. His sketches of the unfortunate Dr. Dodd, 

 Goldsmith, Wesley, and Mrs. Bellam}', in the opening 

 paper, are excellent. Have a care. Dr. Doran ! Re- 

 member the fate of Denon, who, after his return from 

 Egypt, became so popular for his story-telling, that the 

 ladies of Paris as they returned from their evening par- 

 tie.s would rouse him from his sleep with cries of " You 

 who know so many capital stories, get up and tell us 

 one." Dr. Doran's reputation for story-telling will soon 

 equal Denon's. We trust he may avoid the penalty 

 which Denon's reputation imposed upon him. 



Mr. Basil Pickering, the son of our old friend William 

 Pickering, has just published two poetical volumes cal- 

 culated to please those who delight in song. The first is 

 Julian the Apostate, anA The Duke of 3Iercia. Historical 

 Dramas by the late Sir Aubrey de Vere, which, having 

 long been out of print, are here reprinted. A Song of 

 Charity, by E. J. Chapman, is the title of the second, — a 

 graceful little poem written duriug a visit to Canada, and 

 appropriately dedicated to the writer's friends in that 

 country. 



First and foremost among the books for young persons 

 which are waiting for our notice we must mention The 

 Fairy Tales of Science by J. G. Brough, with SLvleen Il- 

 lustrations, by C. H. Bennett. The idea of clothing the 

 leading and most important branches of Science in the 

 garb of Fairy Tales ,is a very admirable, albeit a some- 

 what difficult one ; and certainly if anything could add 

 to its attractiveness, the illustrations "of Mr. Bennett, 

 rich in fancy as ever, are well calculated for that purpose. 



T7te Boy's Own Toymaker ; a Practical Illustrated 

 Guide to the useful Employmeiit of Leisure Hours, by E. 

 Landells, with its numerous engravings, is well calcu- 

 lated to contribute to the quiet of many a household by 

 finding amusement for its more noisy members. For 

 3'et younger children we have to notice a pleasant little 

 volume, A Visit to the New FoYest, by Harriet Myrtle.
