History and Geography of Herodotus, from the most recent 

 Sources of Information, and embodying the chief Results, 

 Historical and Ethnological, which have been obtained in tht 

 Progress of Cuneiform and Hieroglyphical Discovery. By 

 George Rawlinson, M.A. Assisted by Sir Henry Rawlin- 

 son, K.C.B., and Sir J. G. Wilkinson, F.R.S. Vol. IV. 

 With Maps and Illustrations. (Murray.) 



This new and complete English version of the great 

 Father of History is here brought to a close by the pub- 

 lication of the fourth volume, which contains, in addition 

 to a Translation of Herodotus' Seventh, Eighth, and 

 Ninth Books, an Appendix to the former, consisting of 

 three Essays, namely, I. On the obscure Tribes contained 

 within the Empire of Xerxes. II. On the early Migra- 

 tions of the Phoenicians ; and III. On the Alarodians of 

 .Herodotus. This volume, like its predecessors, abounds 

 in maps and woodcut illustrations, while the text is 

 profusely annotated. Lastly, to give completeness to a 

 work destined to occupy a prominent place in the library 

 of every historical student, it is furnished with an ample 

 List of Authors and Editions quoted, and closes with that 

 which makes the best of books yet more valuable — a 

 good and full Index. 



The Book of the Princes of Wales, Heirs of the Crown 

 . of England. By Dr. Doran, F.S.A. (Bentley.) 



We know no writer on whom one can so readily de- 

 pend for a thoroughly popular book on any given historical 

 or biographical theme as Dr. Doran. Gifted apparently 

 with an insatiable appetite for reading, he is fortunately 

 blest with equal power of digesting what he reads; so that 

 when we take up a volume of Dr. Doran's we know that, 

 thanks to the fluency of his pen and his tact in telling a 

 good story well, we shall find a book as full of grace and 

 gossip as a French Memoire. The present Book of the Princes 

 of Wales is no exception to this law of composition on the 

 part of Dr. Doran, and the seventeen biographies which 

 it contains will furnish abundance of pleasant reading to 

 all, but especially to those who indulge in a taste for 

 Anecdotical History. 



Biographies by Lord Macaulay contributed to the Ency- 

 clopaedia Britannica. With Notes of his Connection with 

 Edinburgh, and Extracts from his Letters and Speeches. 

 (A. & C. Black.) 



Messrs. Black have paid a grateful tribute to the me- 

 mory of their distinguished, liberal and accomplished 

 friend, and rendered good service to the admirers of Lord 

 Macaulay by placing within their reach, in this pleasant 

 and acceptable form, his admirable Biographies of Atter- 

 bury, Bunyan, Goldsmith, Johnson, and William Pitt. 

 These excellent specimens of his writing were contri- 

 buted by him to the Encyclopaedia Britannica after he had 

 ceased to write tor the reviews or other periodicals ; and 

 Mr. Black in his Preface records, as one of the many in- 

 stances of the kindness and generosity of his heart, that 

 Lord Macaulay made it a stipulation of his contributing 

 to the Encyclopaedia that remuneration should not be so 

 much as mentioned. Mr. Black's Notes on Lord Macau- 

 lay's connection with Edinburgh will be useful to the 

 future biographer of the Great Historian. 



We may take this opportunity of announcing that a 

 collection of all the Inedited Writings of Lord Macaulay is 

 now in the press, and will be published as soon as possible 

 by Messrs. Longman. 



Speeches of the Managers and Counsel in the Trial of 

 Warren Hastings. Edited by E. A. Bond, Assistant 

 Keeper of the MSS. in the British Museum. Vol. II. 

 PtMuhed by the Authority of the Lords Commissioners of 

 J It Majesty's Treasury. (Longman.) 



Mr. Bond has added very considerably to the interest 

 of the present volume by prefixing to it a Summary of 



Proceedings on the Trial, thereby connecting in a nar- 

 rative form, by notices of the intervening proceedings of 

 the Trial, the various speeches which will be included in 

 the collection. This narrative appears to be drawn up 

 with great care and impartiality. In the present volume 

 the trial drags its slow length along from April, 1789, 

 to April, 1792. It commences with Burke's Opening of 

 a portion of the 6th Charge, which is followed by Anstru- 

 ther's Opening of the remainder of it. Foxe's Summing 

 of the Evidence on the 6th, part of the 7th and 14th. 

 Article of the Charge comes next. We have then St. 

 John's Opening of the 4th Charge, and St. Clair's Sum- 

 ming of the Evidence on the same Charge ; Hastings's 

 Address is next; and the volume concludes with Law's 

 General Opening of the Defence, and Plumer's Opening 

 of the Defence on'the 1st Charge. 



A Popular History of British 3Iosses, comprising a 

 General Account of their Structure, Fructification, Ar- 

 rangement, and General Distribution. By Robert M. 

 Stark. Second Edition. (Routledge.) 



It seems to be the determination of Messrs. Routledge, 

 who have become proprietors of the Series of volumes of 

 Popular Natural History originally published by Mr. 

 Lovell Reeve, not only to give the Series increased cir- 

 culation by a reduction of the price, but by gradually, as 

 opportunity offers, revising and improving the different 

 volumes of which it consists. Thus we have now before 

 us a Second Edition of Mr. Stark's British Mosses, which 

 for beauty of illustration quite rivals, if it does not out- 

 shine, any of its predecessors. The study of mosses is 

 comparatively modern ; but with such a guide as this, we 

 cannot doubt that it will soon be pursued very generally, 

 more especially as specimens of mosses are very readily 

 preserved, ami form objects of great interest for micro- 

 scopical examination.
