and, in some instances,
notices of events happening to the contingents. The value of a work
based upon such materials, our historical readers will instantly
recognise. The lovers of our poetry will regard with equal interest, and
peruse with equal satisfaction, Mr. Hunter's brochure entitled _Milton;
a Sheaf of Gleanings after his Biographers and Annotators_, and admit
that he has bound up the new biographical illustrations and critical
comments, which he has gathered in that pleasant field of literary
inquiry, the life and writings of Milton, into a goodly and a pleasant
sheaf.

Messrs. Sotheby and Co. will commence on Monday, the 29th of this month,
a three days' Sale of Greek Roman, and English Coins, English and
Foreign Medals, Cabinets, &c., the property of a Gentleman leaving
England.
