HEALTHY HOMES. A Guides to the Proper
Regulation, 6-C. 1311 William Noshing, Architect
and C.E.

At this period, when the metropolis and the pro-
vinces are being desolated by a spYeadiog epidemic
and an increasing mortality, we are gra,ified to ob•
serve the republication of this very excel,ent volume
in the form of a cheap-r and more compactly printed
udition. Those Who li.Ne already glanced at its kages
will bear in recollection the practical and practicable
ciwacter of its suggestions having reference in sepa-
rate departments to the better regulation of buildings
and streets, of drainage and !ewerage. Mr. liosking
has studied the difficulties o:- improvement as an
architect and an engineer, and he has recognised the
necessity of these changes, no matter how laborious their
accomplishment may be, insisting upon their adoption
with the earnestness of a philanthropist. Without
being so far carried away by fanciful conjectures as
to betray a congenial enthusiasm with-that of those
very amiable but fantastic gentlemen, the
monomaniacs of Gwydyr House, he has
taken sufficiently into account the advisability
of proper drainage and wholesome ventilation. He
has regarded these arrangements as essential to the
salubrity of any populous neighbourhood, and has
made his suggestions accordingly. Hence it is that
we regard the present cheap reprint of his volume
with unalloyed pleasure, and earnestly commend its
contents to the perusal of the community.

THE BRITISH COLONIES. Part I. By R.
Montgomery Martin, Esq.
Another reprint lies betbre us in the form of the
initial number of a new edition of a work which has
long since, and deservedly, acquired a considerable
degree of popularity. In the valuable compilation
made by Mr. Montgomery Martin may be obtained
the fullest and most authentic information in regard
to the history, the extent, the condition, and the re-
sources of the British colonies. The introductory
part now under consideration is embellished with an
admirable and inestimable map of the world, on
Mercator's system, indicating every portion of the globe
belonging to Great Britain. The subsequent portion
of the edition will be illustrated not only with maps
of each possession, but also with portraits of the most
celebrated promoters and defenders of our colonial
empire. Inaugurative of this curious serifs of por-
traits, we find before us a splendid engraving of the
founder of that empire, Queen Elizabeth.

NEW POLAND; or The Infant Hero.
A graceful little story, dedicated to Lord Dudley
Coutts Stuart, breathing the language of patriotism,
and inscribed, as a motto, with a verse from the
glorious war• song of Riego—
" La Patria
Nos llama a la lid
Turemos por ella.
Veneer, o roorir."
Those who sympathise with suffering Poland, or
deceived Hungary, will peruse with gratification a
tale, however brief or homely, in which the ardour
of the Poles and the Hungarians is so vividly appre-
ciated. Whatever may be its faults, the book is
evidently the effusion of a gentle heart and a generous
:emperament.
