EVENING EDITION.

LITERATURE.

SPORTING ALMANACK.
Churion, London, 1840.

The useful and the entertaining are blended
very judiciously in this Almanack, which furnishes
us with a vast quantity of sporting information,
partly original, and partly derived from some of the
ablest and most recent works on the subject. All
that is necessary, too, to constitute an ahnanack, is
supplied in ample measure, so that
„the book
has, as it were, " two strings to its buw, and will
satisfy the sportsman, while it fulfils the expecta-
tions of the matter-of-fact man, who may turn to it
to ascertain the changes of the moon, progress of
time, &c., &c. The plates are twelve in number,
corresponding with the months of the year, and each
plate is illustrative of some popular sport, both at
home and abroad. " Tiger Hunting" is a spirited
sketch of this manly but perilous pastime. A party
of hunters mounted on elephants are represented in
the thick of a deep Indian jungle, waiting calmly the
close approach of a royal tiger, who is just in the act
of rushing from his lair, seeking, like Apollyon,
" whom he may devour." The long, wavy, ou line of
the tangled jungle which stretches away to the furthest
point of sight, conveys a very fair idea of this vast
growth of underwood. " Giraffe Shooting in
Africa" shows us a group of those elegant quadru-
peds taking refuge in a mimosa grove from the
pursuit of huntsmen. The engraving is neatly
finished ; and the literary description affixed to it is
by no means deficient in graphic skill and vigour.
The remaining plates are of the average order of
merit.

ROBERT MACAIRE IN ENGLAND. 3 VJLS.
Tegg, London, 1540.
There is some humour, and more flippancy,
in these volumes, which relate to the personal
adventures of a chevalier d'industrie, by name
Robert Macaire, who, after robbing the Calais
mail, and acquiring thereby a handsome booty,
comes over to England with the intention of de-
frauding unsophisticated John Bull. To a certain
extent he is successful in his villainous schemes,
and subsequently returns to France, where he con-
tinues to practise his vocation on a most compre-
hensive scale; but being ultimately discovered by a
gentleman named Stantnore, is saved with difficulty
from the tenacious grasp of the French Police by
means of his daughter Blanche, whom he takes
leave of with the design of passing the remainder of
his life in peaceful, a2cl for the first time, honest
obscurity in Switzerland. The lighter scenes in this
story arc the most readable, for the author has not
the slightest idea of passion and feeling. We must
protest, however, against a flash song which ap-
pears in the second volume, and which contains
neither point nor vivacity, but is a mrte tissue of
coarse, unmitigated vulgarity.
