ss Granby; Earls Bute, Temple, Sandwich, Egremont, Halifax, Hardwicke, Chatham, Mansfield, Northington, Suffolk, Hillsborough, and Hertford; Lords Lyttleton, Camden, Holland, Olive, and George Sackville; Marshal Conway, Horace Walpole, Edmund Burke, George Grenville, John Wilkes, William Gerard Hamilton, Augustus Hervey, Mr. Jenkinson (first Earl of Liverpool), Mr. Wedderburn, Charles Yorke, Charles Townsend, Mr. Charles Lloyd, and the author of the Letters of Junius. The fifth and sixth volumes of Lord MAHON's _History of England_, embracing the first years of the American war, 1763-80, were also nearly ready. We regret that the earlier volumes of this important history, edited by Professor Reed, of Philadelphia, and published by the Appletons, have not been so well received as to warrant an expectation that the continuation will be reprinted. * * * * * SIR JAMES STEPHEN'S _Lectures on the History of France_, is an exceedingly interesting work, of which we hope to see an American edition. The author is well known in this country, by the largely circulated volume of his _Miscellanies_, published in Philadelphia, a few years ago. The present work consists of discourses delivered by him as professor of History in the University of Cambridge, and though not of the highest rank among systematic histories, it is inferior to very few in occasional grouping and character painting. * * * * * The third volume of Mr. MERRIVALE's _History of the Romans under the Empire_; the ninth and tenth volumes of Mr. GROTE'S _History of Greece_; and a seventh edition of SHARON TURNER'S _History of the Anglo-Saxons_, are among the most interesting English announcements in historical literature. * * * * * The _Life of Dr. Chalmers_, by Dr. Hanna, will extend to four volumes; the third, just re-published by the Harpers, is the most interesting yet issued. We observe that a volume of _Reminiscences of Chalmers_ has been published in London, by Mr. JOHN ANDERSON. * * * * * ALICE CAREY'S _Clovernook, or Recollections of our Neighborhood in the West_, has just been published by Mr. Redfield, in one volume, illustrated by Darley. To those who have read one of the introductory chapters of this work which we copied into the _International_ for November, it seems quite unnecessary to say any thing in illustratio
