An Open College Best for All. 'A Reply to " The
Case of Queen's College, by the Rev. John Barrow,
4:c." With an Appendixx, en the Michel leuudit-
tion. By the Rev. Thomson, M.A., &0.,
of Queen's College. London: Ridgway. •
THIS pamphlet evinces the known ability of its
author ; and, as a learned and logical argument to
determine the real intention of the founder of Queen's
College, is most valuable. We have not seen the
pamphlet to which it is a reply, and have not, there-
fore, materials for forming ajudgment on the sulgeet
in dispute ; but the dispute is at this moment of
considerable interest, and important permanently
with reference to the history of university endow-
ments. The pamphlet contains an appendix on the
proposed relegation of the Michel Fellows to St.
Edmund's Hall, the fellows iu question objecting to
this species of transportation.

Theory. and Practice of the German Language. By
J. N. Vlieland. London : Simpkin, Marshall,
and Co.
The :author of this little work has been for many
yeaea,Prefessor of French and German in King Ed-
ward 'the SINAI.% Grarnmex School it Norwich, and
'lli 'known as the author of many useful works on
'Modern languages. The present volume, which is
an a great measure translated from Meidinger's
" Grammaire Allemande Pratique," partakes of the
nature of a grammar, a dictionary, and a course of
exercises, in which rules and examples are inter-
woven. Its style is intelligible and concise; and
the whole forms an easy introduction to the Ger-
man language.

Tut: fourth edition of thie. 'chre' ctory, which com-
menced in 1848, appears under an enlarged form and
at, a reduced price. For the former change, the ra •
pidly-eXtending number of the journals which have
to be described, and the more elaborate nature of
the description afforded them, have been the suM-
dent motives. The latter is in consonance with the
spirit of the times, and will, doubtless, like many
other changes in the same direction, meet with com-
mercial success. As guide sad index to the names,
localities, principles, and leading characteristics of
' every newspaper in the United Kingdom, nut omit-
ting tlo British Isles, the publication is at once full,
accurate, and useful.

in favour of bean's are good, but the author asserts
that "in our own army not even a moustache
is
" tolerated, except in some few favoured regiments,
" such as the hussars." All our cavalry wear the
moustache.
