devoted to Antiquarian Books arid Views. The second contains Old Engravings, Water-Colour Drawings, &c. Under America is a coloured glass picture of a female American Indian holding a flag

This catalogue of Mr. Sutton's is printed, not on the glazed paper to which we made reference in our number of 2 February, but on good ordinary paper, and we have read it with great comfort, and thank Mr. Sutton for so kindly carrying out our suggestion.

Mr. Symington, of Harrogate, sends us a list strong in history and biography. It includes a 'Life of Thomas Sutton,' the Charterhouse founder, 1737 ; ' Life and Papers of the Duke of Maryborough,' 1743; several items on Princess Charlotte; Mrs. Piozzi's 'Autobiography and Re- mains ' ; several books on Oliver Cromwell ; Boswell's 'Johnson,' 3 vols., 1793; Walton's ' Lives,' 1796 ; and many sound books of the first half of the nineteenth century which have been unduly neglected, and which are now to be had at cheap prices. Justin McCarthy's 'History of his Own Times, 1837-79,' 4 vols., morocco, 1879, and Wraxall's ' Memoirs of his Own Times,' 1772-80,' 2 vols., half-calf, 1815, are typical instances of the attractive history offered by Mr. Symington in several periods.
