Moe is as doubt that Dr. Kitto died a slave of
fitiesdna hen overwork and want of exercise. His
biography has evidently been a labour of love with
Dr. Eadie. It is full, without being overloaded
with epistolatory details, the prvvailing fault in such
works at the present day. If Dr. 'Otto had left
nothinr behind him but his little book, entitled the
"Lost Seam "—one of the most genuine and truthful
wake ever hawed from the press—the remembrance
his resins would have been placed upon a Arm
bob. ]eh la addition to this there is the character
of the mss and the record of what he did; together
a monument better then marble.
The Norse-Folk or a Visit to the Homes of Norway
and Sweden. By N.ARLES LonueG BRACE.
London : Richard Bentley.
Somebody has said that if any of our Arctic voy-
agers ever reach the North Polo they will find,
standing on a pinnacle of ice, • Scotehman and an
Americas. The English are remarkable for their
restless love of wandering t but the Americans are
more remarkable still. They do not dwell long in
one place, nor do they day to work up any detailed
information that the journey may demand. Their
theory is, that when a city is walked or
driven through it is" done." We once missed en Ame-
rican for two days and three nights from the coffee-
room of Morley's Hotel; and when he returned, we
found that in the interim he had been to Paris and
the Lakes of Killarney. In Paris he had gone the
round of the Boulevards and returned by the next
train. He had now just time to pack his portman-
teaus and to start for Southampton, and the same
evening to catch the mail packet for New York.
Mr. Charles Loring Brace, the author of this book,
although an American, does not belong to this
7iiischool, or if he does, he contrives to
co
down a good deal of information ob-
tained by the way. His book contains a
moms of domestic and other details of the
places be has visited, that shows steadiness and
care. He is also fond of metaphysical discussion,
and the theologies, theories, and mythologies of the
None-Folk are treated of at some length, with an
evident love of the subject. The American poor,
travellers, and philosophers, having no re-
mote antiquity of their own to study, are
constantly turning their eyes to tho old
world, and dwelling with poetic fervour upon
old towns, old traditions, old customs, and old
laws. Mr. Brace describes what he sees in • clear
and intelligible manner, but he does not go to Norway
and Sweden for salmon fishing, or sporting purposes,
and his pictures of scenery lack that vivid power
sad photographic minuteness which men who
ere is madaat communication with Nature can give.

Some of the admirers of Mr. Spargeon are apt. to
think that his peculiar style of prottehing—the
tune of the familiar with the upkiWil—is some-
thing original and unique. Let them read the fol-
lowing account of the preaching of ors Lestatlins,
an old Lapp missionary, who died in 1841, which
description Mr. Brace got from a Norwegian gentle-
man who had "sat under him:"

houses cum through all Sweden,
' This seems to be nothing more or less than • rude
' and partial system of socialism. " One great diffi-
culty," a our author says, "in providing for the
poor lies in the internal organisation of the country."
There are no provincial legislatures or assemblies.
' Our readers will smile when they are told that a
simple matter of pauperism is often referred directly
to the King, who is thus made the grand relieving
officer of the whole country.

Our College. Leaves
,from an Undergraduate's
"Scribbling Book." London: G. Earle,67, Castle-
street East.

-----
It was not with the kindest feeling that we
opened the leaves of the undergraduate's scribbling
book. We had read so many descriptions of uni-
versity life, from Peter Priggins to Cuthbert Bede,
had been present at so many brilliant parties and
nippers, had pulled in so many outriggers on the
las and the Cam, run away from so many proctors,
hoaxed so many tutors, and been lectured by so
many deans, that we were thoroughly sick of the
name of college. After turning over a few pages in
a very desultory manner, we found that Our Colleye
Men a book of a very different class to any
we had ever read before on the subject it is written
In excellent language and in the best taste, and
though the material form in which some of the sketches
sow worked up is not new, yet the stories themselves
are very well told, being free from that perpetual
slangy smartness with which such books are gene-
rally filled. We prefer, however, the commence-
ment of the volume, where the writer, who has gone
up after a lapse of some years to take his Master's
degree, narrates his impressions on visiting some of
his old haunts.
He is looking from the college-garden into what
were once his own rooms :
For the life of nse, I could not help standing on t 1 too at
the edge of the mull-Sower bed and peeping in. It being
long vacation time, the window was open and my indiscreet

Vocation is Inciamml. By Cassias Thomann
WZLD. Leaden Longman,.
We are sorry that we are unable to congratulate
Mr. Weld on his new volume. The notes of these
Irish travels lack the freshness and vigour of the
same author's Cowin,. Skekket. They are
more diffuse and leas spirited, contain more
old stories and extracts from other writers,
and less original observation and description. Some
of the anecdotes quoted have been our as
quaiataaces for many years, while the volumi-
nous headings of the various chapters contain
which are not fulfilled. Mr. Weld
Cli:trind of natural humour, quick observation,
and goad power of description. Let him rely for
his soceese next time upon a moderate use of these
gifts, and his work will be worthy, of a better re-
ception then " Vacations in Ireland."
