Illustrations._ This volume, one of the _Illustrated London Library_, is a
pleasant chatty compilation on a subject which will interest many of our
readers and correspondents by furnishing them with a series of notices of
old forests, remarkable trees, &c., which have never before been gathered
together.--_The Shakspeare Repository, edited by_ J. H. Fennell, No. II.
The second part of this periodical, the only one exclusively devoted to the
Elizabethan writers, contains, among other interesting articles, a long one
on the medical practice of Shakspeare's son-in-law, Dr. John Hall.

[Footnote 1: Since this was written we have heard that MR. COLLIER has
traced back the history of his Folio 1632 for upwards of a century.--ED.]
