It is, however, a fact that to us it is a mine of edification and delight, and that we do not soon tire, we will not say of perusing it in any sense, but of dipping into or digging in its pages. The Colloquien of Edward Oshornc. By the Author of ' Mary Powell.' (Nimmo.) Continuing his task of reprinting a handsomely illustrated edition of the writings of Miss Anne Manning, Mr. Nimmo has now reached 'The Col- loquies of Edward Osborne,' one of the pleaaanteat and most picturesque books of the series. This, which depicts life on London Bridge in the time of the Marian persecution and during the insur- rection of Wyatt, and narrates the love of an almost too worthy London '"prentice" and his master's daughter, is presented in most attractive guise. The designs of Mr. Jcllicoe by which it is illustrated are spirited, well executed, and appro- priate, and the work as a gift-book and as a con- tribution to an elementary knowledge of history is equally to be recommended. In consequence of the pressure on our space the customary summary of the contents of the reviews, magazines, and serials will this month be omitted. We hear with much regret of the death of Mr. William Noye, of Doddington Grove, Kennington Park, S.E. The deceased gentleman, who was in his tifty-seventh year, was a native of Penzance, and an authority on the dialects of West Cornwall. A contribution from him appeared in April last. gtofcs to ®0rwsp0notnt». T. B. F.—It is hopeless to mix up two subjects •with wholly different references in one reply.
