rator, as the author of the Waverley Novels,
of a new and resplendant school of imaginative litera-
ture ! Professor Longfellow, as a poet turned writer
of prose, stands, so to speak, intermediately between
a brief teller of tales line Charles Lamb, and a giant
weaver of romance like "Walter Scott. "Kavanagh,"
and " 0 utrc-mer," and" Hyperion" take their place
—always as a cluster of stories carefully kept to-
gether—upon an available shelf in our library, in
between the shelf bearing upon it, a dear little book
like Rosamond Grey, and others of that character
(and there are a few such), and those larger and more
extended shelves upon which are ranged the glo•
rious array of " Waverlcy," and its followers,
" Ivanhoe," " The Talisman," " Rob Ruy," " Guy
Mannering," and how many others, down to a few
small fragmentary tales that are turned to for the
sake of Sir Walter rather than for their own, little
tales like those of •` The Two Drovers," and the
•' Surgeon's Daughter." Mr. Bohn'li volume of 580
pages, comprising within it these three pet stories by
Professor Longfellow," Hyperion," " Outre-iner,"
" Kavanagh," will be found upon turning over the
leaves to be plentifully and very gracefully illus-
trated by no less than four skilful pencils, those of
Baxter, of Vizetelly, of Cattenacci, and best of all
by that of Birket Foster. As the Frontispiece,
Birket Foster, has given us the prettiest little
peep amongst the trees, of that famous house at
Mount Vernon, doubly classic, doubly interesting►
as the home nowadays of the poet Longfellow, as
the home formerly of the patriot Washington.

The Teeth, as Supplied by Nature, and Preserved
by Art. By M. C. Rogers, M.R.C.S., Surgeon
Dentist, London.—Mr. Rogers shows us that the
teeth are the main agents in ministering to health,
and are therefore deserving of every care. He has
presented us, in a very pleasing and popular, and
at the same time accurate way, with a descriptive
history of the teeth, from their birth to their death,
pointing out the various diseases to which they are
subject, with tho method of preventing or combat-
ing them. We commend this little work to all who
are not careless about health.
