BRADSHAW'S RAILWAY MANUAL FOR 1865 (W.
J. Adams).—The present is the Seventeenth annual
issue of this world-famous Guide Book—a book
numbering up now as many as 618 closely printed
pages, embellished with three large folding maps—
one of Great Britain and Ireland—one of India—
and one of Europe--besides a little one of the trunk
line connecting New York with St. Louis. As
good wine proverbially needs no bush, it might
be said with equal truth that a good word
is hardly needed nowadays for such necessities in
our social system as a Bradshaw, a Murray, or a
Kelly's Post-Office London Directory. Granted that
Bradshaw is aI, mighty maze"—.it must, in justice
to it, be added that it is " not without a plan." It
amounts—the mastery of the system latent in
the labyrinth of Bradshaw, to little less than a
science in itself, and that science, moreover, one of
a very abstruce character indeed. Nevertheless
through all the intricacies of this marvellous and
for the generality of inquirers utterly bewildering
labyrinth of Bradshaw there is a clue really and
truly discoverable. Once discover that clue, and
you are ~immediately-set apart -as among the few
rare and isolated notabilities of your generation.
Not by any means a Bradshaw, however, of
this character, be it observed, is the goodly book
now before us. Here, at least, are none of those
excruciatingly recondite time tables in the
midst of tracking your way through which, with a
nervous forefinger, on the road, let us say, from
Euston-square to Aberdeen, you suddenly appear
to be wandering into the afternoon of the day be-
fore yesterday, and almost dread to find yourself,
before the close of your researches, landed some-
where about the middle of the week before last !
Problems meeting you at almost every turn of
every page of Bradshaw's Time-tables about as
difficult of sane solution as that famous one we
might fancy from the first leaf of Euclid for
Idiots—Given the name of the Captain and
the ship's tonnage, to find out her destination!
A Bradshaw, in the ordinary coffee-room accepta-
tion of the term, this is not—but, on the contrary,
perfectly plain sailing as contrasted with most diffi-
cult and perilous navigation. The book under notice
is, in other words, just simply Bradshaw's Rail-
way Manual or Shareholder's Guide and Direc-
tory. It includes within it a wonderful mass of
well-authenticated and perfectly reliable informa-
tion in regard to all the railways in the United
Kingdom, Continental, African, Australian, Ameri-
can, East Indian and West Indian. Five hundred
and sixty one distinct railways in all, together with
about two dozen auxiliary associations, such as
the Submarine Telegraph, the Telegraph to
India, and the London District Telegraph. Alto-
gether, ,‘ Bradshaw's Railway Manual" is the
epitome of all that vast and complicated sys-
tem which has constituted the present epoch in
the world's history, the Fast Age, the Iron Age,
in other words, the age of railroads and of rapid
intercommunication.

MISS BRADDON'S "DOCTOR'S WIFE," (Frau Doe-
torin), and "Henry Dunbar," have both just appeared in
German at Berlin.
