A SHORT ESSAY on SKETCHING GROUND
WITHOUT INSTRUMENTS. With illustrative wood-
cult. fivo. 2.. 6d.
" Mr. Burr's Short Essay' will prove quite invalu-
able ; for it simplifies the whole process to the greatest
degree, and furnishes, from the results of the author's long
experience, a collection of the easiest and readiest rules for
performing various operations; the difficulties of which,
without such aid, the young drsughtsman must himself, in
the course of his studies from nature, gradually and
laboriously invent and discover the means of overcoming."

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE OF MISTAKEN
InEwriTY...--Llst night an inquest was held at the Lon,
don Hospital, before Mr. Biker, on the body of a
middle-aged female, name unknown. She died in the
afternoon, while taking some beef soup at the eating
house of Mr. Robins; Virititechapel-road. Shortly after
bet death, the parish constable was informed that her
!tame was Gonch, and that she had two daughters living
in dashing style in Cannon-place, Mile End-load. The
constable went to the young women, who, on heating of
the death of their mother, proceeded to the workhouse,
where the body lay, and on seeing it the} both instantly
exclaimed, .‘ Oh ! it is our mother, our poor dear
mother," and clinging about the corpse, cried most bit-
terly. After giving
way to their feeling, they went to
the house of a respectable undertaker, anti gave directions
that a shell might be sent to the workhouse. On their
way home, however, they met with their mother, and the
interview between them was most affecting. The un-
dertaker, on learning that the dead was alive, and that
the shell was not required, appeared much ehopfallen. No
clue could be obtained to the connexions of the deceased.
It appeared she had died from natural causes, and the
jury returned a verdict to that tifect.
