[Collaticn : pp. x, yiii, 246. A reprint with a shoit preface. 



"To save all risk of departure from the exact form," it is stated 

 in the preface, " the sharp vigorous little cuts of fish, and the very 

 tasteful title-page, have been reproduced by a photographic process 

 which is simply infallible." It is to be regretted that the process 

 adopted has made illustrations look rough and ragged> which have 

 always been commended for their neat and delicate execution. 

 We fear, however, that the " process " cannot be held accountable 

 for the fact that in the last line of the title-page, "Church-yard" of 

 the original appears as " Churcheyard'' in the photographic fac- 

 simile.]
