REPRINTS.

Among the new editions that have appeared. at
this season some are especially deserving of notice.
Messrs. Chapman ant Hall have commenced a
series of the works of Charles Lever, handsomely
bound, add illustrated by H. K. Browne. The first
volume contains " Ilirry Lorrequer," and is to
be followed by all the author's novels.
Mr. Carlyle's " History of the French Revolu-
tion" also makes its appearance in a new form. It
was originally publis!led in three volumes, but is
now in two, of which the first :I ready, and
carries the history down to the death of Mirabeau.
The admirers of Mr. Carlyle will be glad to learn
that this volume is also the first instalment of a
new editioi of the entire series of the author's
works. It will be published monthly, and will be
completed in about fifteen volumes. It is worthily
commenced by this work, which many consider his
greatest.—" Coleridge's Seven Lectures on Shakes-
peare and Milton" have been republished in one
volume, with an introductory preface by Mr.
Collier, and a list of all the emendations in his
folio, 1632. This work will necessarily possess
much interest for all who study the peculiarities of
our great dramatist.—Mr. Ainsworth's story of
"The Spendthrift" is now published in one volume,
and forms a handsome addition to the Christmas'
Library. It will be remembered that it originally
appeared in " Bentley's Miscellany ,+ of hich
