BOOKS RECEIVED.--_History of the Guillotine, revised from the Quarterly Review_, by the Right Hon. J. W. Croker, which forms the new part of Murray's _Railway { 456} Reading_, is not only valuable as a _précis_ of all that is known upon this very obscure subject, but for all its illustration of the difficulty of arriving at historical truth.--_A Love Story; being the History of the Courtship and Marriage of Dr. Dove of Doncaster_, that delightful episode in Southey's most delightful book, _The Doctor_, forms Part L. of Longman's _Traveller's Library_.--_The First Italian Book_ appears a very successful attempt on the part of Signor Pifferi and Mr. Dawson W. Turner to furnish a companion to the _First French Book_ of that accomplished scholar, the late Rev. T. K. Arnold.
