By Charles Hallock. New York: Orange Judd Co., publishers, 1883. We have received a copy of the above from Messrs. J. B. Lippincott & Co., and find it a handy reference to all things pertaining to legitimate field sports. The work first appeared in 1877, and has now been through six editions. Since then the author has revised it, and now presents it to the public in its new form.

It contains 1000 pages, and is profusely illustrated. Gives descriptions of all game animals, birds and fishes in North America; the best methods of catching or trapping them; where they are to be found, and the easiest and shortest way to the places inhabited by them. It also tells what game is to be found in the counties in the States and Provinces. Maps of the latest editions direct the hunter, or fisherman, over the principal railroads crossing the continent. Altogether it is one of the most complete works of its kind published, and is a valuable book to every person, whether sportsman or not.

DIO Lewis's Monthly - New York: Clarke Brothers, publishers. This made its first appearance in August last, and is a large fat serial of 115 pages, yet we find nothing superfluous - except the double s's in the title - and there is a very great deal in it which will, doubtless, enlist many horticulturists among its readers.
