tatlv Review for April has just been
received from the Leonard Scott
Iblisiling Co. The publication is
q litde later than usual, in conse-
Quence of the removal of the Office
from $40 Fulton Street to Al Bar
clay Street. New York.
The first article in the number is
q review of the lately published liter
arm correspondence of Archibald
Constable, the famous Edinburgh
publishe-, whose business brought
him into intimate connection with
the literary men Of his time, and in
particular with Sir Walter Scott.
The reviewer prefaces his sketch of
Constabie's career with a brief sur
vey Of tie rise and early history Of
the publishing trade, as a connecting
link between authors and the public,
with many interesting details show
ing how autLors formerly lived and
were remunerated before publishers
were known.
Art. IT.. on 4" The Antiquity If
3Fan, gives a sketch of the records
of. pre- historic man, derived from
the remains found by geological re
searches; which asserts that the
date Of his arri !al in Europe can
not be ascertained; that, judging
from the remains, his social condi
ton was akin to that Of the savage
tribes now upon the earth: aud that
there IS no proof that he was more
closely related to the higher apes
than the existing races.
In the article, The Prospects of
Persia, we have an interesting ac-
count Of the physical characteristics
of the country, its productions,
manufactures, trade, government,
relations with other countries. and
thoabeneits that it is hoped will be
derived from the improvements un-
dertaken by Baron Reuter-.
Art. w, Provision for Public

Church.

Of his Journeys and Researches in
Suutn Africa" in which we are led

countries. he explored and realize
the annoyanccs, difficulties and
dangers he encountered. &" As we

temporary literature.
