• LITERATURE.
A NEW GAZETTEER of the BRITISH
ISLES. By James A. Sharp. Parts 1., 11., 111.
Longman and Co.
A really wonderful enterprise in these three in-
stalments lying before us, commenced. If completed
With corresponding accuracy and minuteness it will
immeasurably surpass in value any one of our previous
and in many respects excellent national gazetteers.
The editor or' compiler, Mr. Sharp—a gentleman admi-
rably qualified to carry out the undertaking with
"14—intimates on the very title-page that the
work will be concluded in twenty monthly parts
altogether, while he announces in his Preface that
these twenty parts will comprise the names of all the
Cities, towns, villages, and hamlets in the British Isles
mentioned in the censuses of 1821, 1831, and 1841
besides all the rivers, lakes, mountains, hills, passes,
waterfalls, points of view, all the bays, ports, head-
lands, heights, islands, shoals, all the Roman stations,
camps, and ways, all the British roads, Saxon towns,
Druid stones, Danish raths, Picts houses, castles,
abb^ys, round towers, and cromlechs, all the seats of
manufactures, mines, railroads, canals, railway stations,
election places, polling places, coast guard and police.
Itations, even down to the minute particularity of
'Pecifying each among the various hunting "fixtures."
From this it will be evident how much more practical
and really useful information will be comprised in
the gazetteer of Mr. Sharp than in the writings of
Mogg, Black, Cliffe, Frazer, Pott, Carlisle, Lewis,
Garton, Chambers, Hall, and Fullarton • This pro-
duction,
when completed, will be to all other English
srazetteers what Craig's work is to all other English
dictiongries.

NEW MUSIC.
I MEET HER ON MY MOUNTAIN WAY.
Written by Frederick Enoch. The Music by Stephen
Glover..

The-opening words of this song, which, as we are
told in-the introduction, is that of " The Milk Carrier
of the Alps," are characterised by a certain freshness
and power of colouring that proclaim their author as
much the artist as he is the poet. He paints with his
pen, and, what is more, he paints well. The first
verse will sufficiently attest the truth of our asser-
tion :

"Mist) o'er the hills, oh happy sun!
. Awake the blue flow'rs in the snow,
Ohl bid the glaciers torrent run,
And laugh and shout beneath thy glow,
Thou art not happier than she,
Tho blue flow'rs are not half so sweet,
The torrent's stream is not so free,
Or joyful as her bounding feet.
I meet her on my mountain way
Singing many a mountain lay,
Where the merry goat-bells ring,
Yi-he-U
Of Hie-la-ho!"
the music it is enough to say that we recognise in
every bar the grace, vigour, and originality of style,
Which
80 peculiarly distinguish the compositions of
Stephen Glover.
