SAMPSON LOW, SON, & CO. 47 Ludgate Hill, London. DR. WM. SMITH'S LATIN DICTIONARIES. Now ready, Third Edition, 1862, One Volume, 1,200 pp. medium 8vo. 21s. A NEW LATIN-ENGLISH DICTIONARY, BASED ON THE WORKS OF FORCELLINI AND FREUND. BY WM. SMITH, LL.D. Classical Examiner in the University of London, and Editor of the Dictionaries of "Greek and Roman Antiquities, Biography, Mythology, and Geography," &c. THIS work holds an intermediate place between the Thesaurus of Forcellini and the ordinary School Dictionaries. It makes no attempt to supersede Forcellini, which would require a dictionary equally large; but it aims at performing the same service for the Latin Language as Liddell and Scott's Lexicon has done for the Greek. It therefore avoids those minute subdivisions and numerous quotations which, however useful in a Thesaurus, render a Dictionary less practically useful to Students. In the New Edition very many false references, which are found in all Dictionaries even the most recent, have been corrected. Great attention has been paid to etymology, in which department especially this work is admitted by the most competent scholars to maintain a superiority over all existing Latin Dictionaries. stands quite alone, we find its superiority in other points equally decided, though this may not be so striking to a casual observer. The interpretation of words is conducted with the same editorial ability as the investigation of their etymology, combining accuracy of definition with excellence of arrange. ment and completeness in the exhibition and illustration of the various shades of meaning, with a freedom from needless distinction and redundancy of detail." "I have found Dr. Wm. Smith's Latin Dictionary' a great convenience to me. I think that he Examiner." Dr. Wm. Smith's Latin-English has been very judicious in what he has omitted, as Dictionary' is lifted, by its independent merit, far well as what he has inserted." Dr. LEONHARD SCHMITZ, Rector of the High School, Edinburgh. "I have used Dr. Wm. Smith's Latin-English Dictionary' ever since its publication in 1855, and the opinion I then formed of its superiority over all other Latin Dictionaries published in this country has been confirmed by increased famliarity with it. In the Etymological part, in particular, no Dictionary that I know of, either in this country or on the Continent, can be at all compared with it." Athenæum.-"Passing from the Etymological department, in which Dr. Wm. Smith's Dictionary above comparison with any school or college dic tionary commonly in use. Practically, it is the best that a man can have who keeps on his shelf one Latin-English dictionary as his oracle." Quarterly Review.-"Dr. Wm. Smith's Latin English Dictionary is incomparably the best Latin-English Dictionary' in our language, whether ments of classical studies; the judgement displayed we regard its adaptation to the modern requirein its plan; the philosophical knowledge of language everywhere manifested in it; the extensive acquaintance with the researches of the most recent philologists, grammarians, and archæologists; or lastly, the minute accuracy in the correction of the press.” Also, 25th Thousand, crown 8vo. 7s. 6d.

EXCEPT in our Magazines, which must come out at their appointed times, and must be up to the requirements of magazine-readers at home or by the seaside, the present time is no exception to the rule that new books of great interest do not make their appearance in the hottest of the summer months. The reproduction of Mr. Thackeray's Philip, in three volumes, somewhat fuller of matter than the ordinary novel volume, will, however, be a welcome event to those who do not like to read a novel piecemeal, or who, having read Philip piecemeal, would like to read him again, without the monthly interruption. Mr. Thackeray's humorous confession, in his last Roundabout Paper, of the slight confusion in which his multiplicity of characters occasionally involves him of how he has now and then forgotten the name by which he had christened one of his dramatis persone, and given another, the old familiar name of Clive Newcome, to his new hero, Philip Firmin forms one of those pleasant pieces of personal chit-chat between author and reader, which, though violating the artist's rule of not taking the world into his workshop, gives quite a new interest to his story. Of course, these little slips are now all corrected. A more grave but no less important event is the appearance of Dr. Döllinger's Gentile and the Jew in the Courts of the Temple of Christ, just issued by Messrs. Longman & Co Mr. M'Cabe's translation of his Church and the Churches was published the other day, the name of this eminent foreign theologian was scarcely known to English readers. The present work. for the boldness and liberality of its views-some specimens of which have just been given to the world in the Edinburgh Review-is likely to be read with no less interest in this country. These, with Mr. Forbes Macdonald's solid volume on British Columbia and Vancouver's Island, which appears to give every variety of information interesting to the intending emigrant, the gold miner, or the political writer, are perhaps the only remaining books in our list to which we need here direct attention. The following is our usual summary of the more important publications of the fortnight :In LITERATURE, SCIENCE, AND ART we have an elegant little volume of Shakspere's Sonnets, reproduced in fac-simile by the new process of photo-zincography in use at the Ordnance Office, from the original in the library at Bridgewater House; a practical work On the Relative Value of Round and Sawn Timber, by E. B. Ramsay; An Annual Retrospect of Engineering and Architecture, by G. R. Burnell; a Second Volume of Caspari's Grammar of the Arabic Language, edited by William Wright; Our English Months, by S. W. Partridge; A Treatise on Eccentric and Centric Force, by H. F. A. Pratt; Links in the Chain, or Popular Chapters on the Curiosities of Animal Life, with illustrations; Prize Designs for Covered Homesteads, adapted to Farms of 200 and 500 acres, by P. D. Tuckett; What do you Think of the Exhibition? a Collection of Descriptions and Criticisms from the leading journals; and a Treatise on Military Drawing and Surveying, with a Course of Progressive Plates, by Capt. W. Paterson, 4to. In GEOGRAPHY AND TRAVEL we find an apropos work by Mr. Forbes Macdonald, entitled British Columbia and Vancouver's Island, which describes the Physical Character, Climate, Population, Trade, Natural History, Gold Fields, and Future Prospects of this new and important dependency; A Guide to the Pyrenees, for the use of Mountaineers, with maps, diagrams, and tables, by Charles Packe; and a book entitled American States, Churches, and Slavery, by the Rev. J. R. Balme. IN HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY, Mr. Richard Congreve, the well-known disciple of Auguste Comte, publishes two Lectures, entitled Elizabeth of England; and we note also a volume of short Biographies of Members of Parliament, entitled A Third Series of Parliamentary Portraits of the Present Period, by Mr. G. Fletcher; also a Memoir of General Graham, edited by his Son. IN THEOLOGY We have another book by Dr. Döllinger, whose Church and the Churches, recently translated by Mr. M'Cabe, has attracted so much attention, entitled The Gentile and the Jew in the Courts of the Temple of Christ, an Introduction to the History of Christianity, translated by Mr. Darnell, in 2 vols.; a second part, completing the work, of the Rev. Philip Freeman's Principles of Divine Service-an Enquiry concerning the True Manner of Understanding and Using the Order for Morning and Evening Prayer, and for the Adminis tration of the Holy Communion; The Canon of the Holy Scriptures, from the double point of view of Science and Faith, by L. Gaussen; Scriptural Coincidences, or Trails of Truth, by J. Duncan Craig; Freedom and Happiness in the Truth and Ways of Christ (Sermons), by the Rev. J. Stratten; Ecclesia Vindicata, a Treatise on Appeals in Matters Spiritual, by J. Wayland Joyce; Precious Gems from the Saviour's Diadem (religious stories), by Anna Shipton; and the Sympathy of Christ with Man, its Teaching and its Consolation, by Octavius Winslow. In FICTION, Messrs. Smith, Elder, & Co. publish complete, in 3 volumes, Mr. Thackeray's Adventures of Philip on his Way through the World, just completed in the Cornhill Magazine. We have also the story entitled Barren Honour, by the Author of Guy Livingstone, in 2 vols., already familiar to the readers of Fraser's Magazine; Hearts are Trumps, by E. F. Blakiston, 2 vols.; Fern Vale, or the Queensland Squatter, 3 vols.; The Lord Mayor of London, or City Life in the Last Century, by W. Harrison Ainsworth (reprinted from the New Monthly Magazine), 3 vols; and True to the Last, by Mrs. Gordon Smythies, 3 vols. Among EDUCATIONAL works we have A Practical Introduction to Greek Accentuation, by Henry W. Chandler. Among MEDICAL, Clinical Medicine: Observations Recorded at the Bedside, with Commentaries, by W. T. Gairdner; and a work on Some of the More Important Diseases of the Army, by John Davy. We have also some NEW EDITIONS, of which we ought to notice a new illustrated edition of Mr. Charles Dickens's Pictures from Italy; a cheap edition (uniform with the Woman in White) of Mr. Wilkie Collins's early novel of Basil, with extensive alterations by the author, and an illustration on steel by Gilbert; a new edition of Mr. Alexander Keith Johnston's well-known Dictionary of Geography, revised to February 1862; Mr. C. B. Tayler's Legends and Records of a Good Man's Life, &c.; a 2d of Mr. Anthony Trollope's North America; a 4th of The Daily Life, by Dr. Cumming; and of Dr. Pusey's second volume of Parochial Sermons; and a 6th of Rickman's Attempt to Discriminate the Styles of Architecture in England from the Conquest to the Reformation.

W. Dove, Berlin, translated, with the author's sanction and cooperation, by R. H. Scott, with Diagrams and Charts of Storms. Mr. MURRAY's list of works in preparation for the forthcoming season comprises The Life and Letters of the late Lieut.-Gen. Sir W. Napier, edited by H. A. Bruce, Esq., M.P.; History of the Invasion of the Crimea, by A. W. Kinglake, M.P.; Four Years in British Columbia and Vancouver Island, by Commander R. C.

Davis, M.D., F.R.G.S.; Recollections of Tartar Steppes and of their Inhabitants, by Mrs. Atkinson; The Life and Times of Sir Joshua Reynolds, by the late C. R.

The new novel of English life, entitled Footsteps Behind Him, by Mr. William J. Stewart, will be published by Messrs. Low, Son, & Co., on the 12th inst., in 3 vols. Mr. BENTLEY'S list of works just ready comprises Sinai Photographed, being Photographs from the Inscriptions on the Rocks in the Peninsula of Mount Sinai, recording the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, with a Narrative, and Translations of the Inscriptions, by the Rev. Charles Forster, Rector of Stisted; Stirring Times under Canvas, by Captain Herford, with an illustration; a new work of fiction, entitled Raising the Veil, by John Pomeroy, 2 vols.; &c. Messrs. HURST & BLACKETT have just ready John Arnold, a Novel, by the Author of Matthew Paxton, 3 vols. Mr. HOTTEN, of Piccadilly, has just published a fac-simile of the original edition of Joe Miller's Jests, or the Wit's Vade Mecum. The book is literally a fac-simile; the exact form of the type, and all the peculiarities of the original, have been reproduced on old Dutch paper. The first edition of Joe Miller was published in 1739 as a shilling pamphlet, and it is well known that copies are extremely scarce. Mr. Hotten will also publish in a few days, price one shilling, a new Practical Guide Book, entitled How to See Scotland, or a Fortnight in the Highlands for Six Pounds. Our contemporaries generally have had their laugh at the extraordinary leading article in the Times, announcing the fact of Prussia having joined the Zollverein, or great German Customs Union, but the most striking portion of the matter was not the announcement, but the gravity with which the writer proceeded to explain to his readers the history and circumstances of the affair. It might have been supposed that the fact that Prussia was the great promoter, and has always been the life and soul of the Zollverein, would have been no secret to the English public in the year of the Great Exhibition. The writer in the Cornhill Magazine who recenly discoursed of the almost superstitious respect in the public mind for leading articles, may certainly now add a postscript, showing by this remarkable example how little previous preparation is considered necessary by those who undertake to enlighten the world through the leaders' columns of our daily press. Messrs. HAMILTON, ADAMS, & Co. have just published A Selection of Interesting Extracts for Schools and Families, by Thomas Oliphant, which has the merit of travelling out of the beaten track of school selections. The reading is light and varied, embracing chiefly subjects in natural history, travel and adventure, descriptions of places, and historical events. The authors whose writings have furnished extracts include Ruskin, Gosse, Scoresby, Bowring, Jesse, Buckland, Macaulay, Humboldt, Dickens, Leigh Hunt, Layard, Longfellow, Thackeray, Darwin, Maury, Tennyson, Miss Procter, Hood, and many others. An Agricultural Memoir of the late Prince Consort, with an Account of his various Farms, illustrated with Plans, Maps, and Sketches, is in preparation by Mr. J. C. Morton, with the sanction of Her Majesty. In answer to some remarks in a contemporary, suggested by the new monthly illustrated periodical entitled The Family Churchman's Magazine, announced by Messrs. Hogg & Co, those gentlemen write-"We beg to inform you that neither were we the 'projectors,' nor are we the proprietors, of the illustrated monthly magazine entitled London Society, although one member of our firm is connected with the latter work." The returns of the Book Export trade, just issued, are, on the whole, not so discouraging as might have been anticipated. For the first half of the present year the declared value was in |
