MISS STRICKLAND'S " LIVES OF THE
QUEENS OF ENGLAND."—It is gratifying to perceive that
Miss Strickland's charming work has been so appreciated
by the public, that the large impression of the first three
volumes has been sold, before the fourth volume could be
prepared for the press. A new and revised edition is now
in course of being issued, of which the first volume now
lies before us, its value enhanced by several important ad-
ditions. A more delightful performance has not been sub-
mitted to our notice for many a day, seeing that it lays
open the public and private lives of personages exalted
and illustrious, and of whom, except inasmuch as they
are politically concerned, the great historians have said
but little. Their sex adds greatly to the interest and
piquancy of the narrative of anecdote, and it i 3 the more
attractive from the circumstance that the British sceptre
is at present swayed by a female sovereign. A better pre-
sent for a lady than Miss Strickland's " Lives of the
Queen's of England," cannot be conceived.
PETER PRIGGINS, TIIE COLLEGE SCOUT,
EDITED ev THEODORE HOOK, ESQ., with Illustrations
by Phiz.—lf our readers recollect a book which made
no listle noise in its day, called " Life in London," they
may, by changing the scene in their imagination from
Loudon to Oxford, and calling the work before us, for the
nonce, " Life in Oxford," gain a very sufficing notion of
its general character. In a word, it shows forth, and
shows up, every species of "life" which comes now-a.
days within the meaning of that comprehensive term.
There is no species of " sport," no kind of fashionable
folly or license, no description of drollery, no phrase of
blat kguardism which wicked wits can invent, and booby
Lear& asut Honourables can practise at cur seats of learn-
ing, that does tot find its appropriate deseription and
illustration in these highly amusing pages. The College
Scout, who is here introduced to us under the auspices
of our great humourist, Mr. Theodore Hook, is
the most knowing hand of his knowing tribe ; and what-
ever he knows, he knows how to tell in a lively and
striking manner. The book cannot fail to be popular.
