reat metropolis; and to whom it points out in a manner which we have
correctly designated gossiping, pleasant, and suggestive, "such sites
and edifices as have been rendered classical by the romantic or literary
associations of past times."

Messrs. Williams and Norgate have forwarded to us a Catalog of an
extensive Collection of Books, the property of a distinguished
physician, which are to be sold by auction in Berlin on the 21st of
October. The library, which was forty years in forming, is remarkable
for containing, besides numerous rare works in Spanish, Italian, French,
and English Literature, a curious series of works connected with the
American aborigines; and a most extensive collection of works on the
subjects of Prison Discipline, Poor Laws, and those other great social
questions which are now exciting such universal attention.

We have received the following Catalogues: J. Miller's (43. Chandos
Street, Trafalgar Square) Catalogue No. 11, for 1850 of Books Old and
New, including a large Number of scarce and curious Works on Ireland,
its Antiquities, Topography, and History; W. Heath's (29-1/2. Lincoln's
Inn Fields) Catalogue No. 5. for 1850 of Valuable Second-hand Books in
all Departments of Literature.
