t, as well as of the
scholar,"--Dr. Latham has at once done justice to that distinguished man,
and expressed very neatly the opinion which will be entertained by the
great majority of his readers of his own acquirements, and of the merits of
this his last contribution to our stock of knowledge.

_The Family Almanack and Educational Register for_ 1851, with what its
editor justly describes as "its noble list of grammar schools," to a great
extent the "offspring of the English Reformation in the sixteenth {111}
century," will be a very acceptable book to every parent who belongs to the
middle classes of society; and who must feel that an endowed school, of
which the masters are bound to produce testimonials of moral and
intellectual fitness, presents the best security for the acquirement by his
sons of a solid, well-grounded education.

Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson will sell on Monday next, and three following
days, the valuable antiquarian, miscellaneous, and historical library of
the late Mr. Amyot. The collection contains all the best works on English
history, an important series of the valuable antiquarian publications of
Tom Hearne; the first, second, and fourth editions of Shakspeare, and an
extensive collection of Shakspeariana; and, in short, forms an admirably
selected library of early English history and literature.
