Under the head of ESSAYS, BELLES-LETTRES, 

 and LIGHT LITERATURE, not fiction, the number 

 of works was large, and many of them pos- 

 sessed great merit. Mr. G. P. Putnam collect- 

 ed in a series of volumes, under the general title 

 of "Railway Classics," the best papers of the 

 old Putnam's Monthly Magazine, with the 

 titles, " Maga " Stories ; " Maga " Papers 

 about Paris ; " Maga " Social Papers, and 

 "Maga" Excursion Papers; and introduced 

 into the same series Irving and Paulding's "Sal- 

 magundi." The publication of Burke's works 

 i;i twelve octavo volumes was completed, and 

 the wit, peculiarities, and humors of the legal 

 profession were served up in three very read- 

 able works, viz. : " Bench and Bar : a Com- 

 plete Digest of the "Wit, Humor, Asperities, nnd 

 Amenities of the Law," by L. J. Bigelow ; 

 " Pleasantries about Courts and Lawyers of the 

 State of New York," by Charles Edwards; 

 and a reprint of J. C. Jeaffreson's " Book about 

 Lawyers.'' The most important of the other
