Richmondshire, its Ancient Lords and Edifices: a Concise Guide to the Localities of Interest to the Tourist and Antiquary; with short Notes of Memorable Men, by W. Hylton Longstaffe, is a pleasant, chatty, and amusing guide to a beautiful locality, which the author describes as "the capital of a land whose riches of romance are scarcely exceeded by any other in England, the chosen seat of its own Earls, the Scropes, Fitzhughs, Marmions; and those setters up and pullers down of kings, the richest, noblest, and most prudent race of the North, the lordly Nevilles:" and which as such may well tempt the tourist and antiquary to visit it during the coming autumn. Those who do will find Mr. Longstaffe's little volume a pleasant companion.
Books Received.—The second volume of Charlotte A. Eaton's Rome in the Nineteenth Century, containing, a Complete Account of the Ruins of the Ancient City, the Remains of the Middle Ages, and the Monuments of Modern Times, which completes this lady's excellent guide to the Eternal City.—The second volume of Miss Thomasina Ross's well-executed translation of Humboldt's Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America during the Years 1799-1804, is the new volume of Bohn's Scientific Library.—The Analogy of Religion, Natural and Revealed, to the Constitution and Course of Nature; to which are added Two Brief Dissertations; on Personal Identity, and on the Nature of Virtue; and Fifteen Sermons, by Joseph Butler, D.C.L., late Lord Bishop of Durham.—The new volume of Bohn's Standard Library is deserving of especial mention. It is a reprint of Bishop Halifax's Standard Edition, with the addition of Analytical Introductions, and Notes by a Member of the University of Oxford; and we have no doubt will be found a really useful popular edition, such as may allure to the careful study of one of the best works in our language those minds which, without such help, might shrink from the task.
